I wanna pick you up and scoop you out
I want the secrets your secrets haven't found
Paint me in trust
I'll be your best friend
Call me the one
This night just can't end
Oh
Will you share your soul with me?
Unzip your skin and let me have a see
Paint me in trust
I'll be your best friend
Call me the one
This night just can't end
Oh
Oh, I'm so human
We're just human
Lean for me, and I'll fall back
You'll fit so nicely, you'll keep me intact
Paint me in trust
I'll be your best friend
Call me the one
This night just can't end
Oh
I want to give you your grin
So tell me you can't bear a room that I'm not in
Paint me in trust
I'll be your best friend
Call me the one
This night just can't end
Oh
Oh, I'm so human
We're just human

Thiswas my favorite love song. My ex's favorite song was PERFECT MACHINE by Starset. Recently I noticed how beautifully complementary those songs are if you consider them as the perspectives of each partner in a toxic relationship and I can't stop thinking about it. (I'll use him and her because that's the singer's pronouns and it's simpler to write ok, I'm not even straight.)

One starts with "I wanna pick you up and scoop you out , I want the secrets your secrets haven't found", while the other starts with "Show me your insides, show me your secrets, show me what you desire, I can fake it"
So you have this idea of her to figure him out organically, this craving for intimacy and being true to one another, while he wants to artificially shape the situation into what she'd like it to be through means that don't involve any vulnerability on his side.

'Paint me in trust, I'll be your best friend'' "I didn't want you, I wanna watch you change from a butterfly and into chains", how differently they see each other, how they want something entirely different from that relationship, how unilateral it is.

"Lean for me and I'll fall back, you'll fit so nicely you'll keep me intact" and "Lay your heart into my perfect machine, I will show you what you wanted to see" as if she'll desperately hold on to whoever she finds and he agreed to play that role. Like she's searching for words of comfort and he'll just say whatever she wants to hear, not even knowing if he means it, leading to a toxically codependant situation.

"Unzip your skin and let me have a see" and "I will never let you see what's beneath", again, vulnerability. He doesn't want anyone to get too close and that's the one thing she wants the most, the one thing he won't give her.

"I want to give you your grin, so tell me you can't bear a room that I'm not in, call me the one, this night just can't end" and "Even you know this was all for nothing, just a sad show, just an ego, I suppose though, as far as I know we were both pretending, I suppose so, but what do I know" as if to say, "this meant everything to me", "We both know that's a lie". "I loved you", "No, you didn't. You loved the idea we made of me in your head." Like she wrote herself a fairy tale and cast him in the main role, and wasn't he the best actor in town?

The very opposition of "I'm so human, we're just human" and the perfect machine, and how the music itself expresses it, how dodie's voice is so soft and organic while Dustin's so sharp and clear, and don't even get me started on how beautifully harmonized each element on those songs are and how they reflect all of this. Just the vibes bro,, the vibes. Given the difference in style, I'm probably the only one who noticed, so I had to share.

I could go on, but to sum it up, I'm really glad I got out of that relationship.

Being asexual, I always projected this song to be about someone ace trying to find a relationship in this overly sexualised world. I always knew the song isn’t actually about that, but the lyrics fit surprisingly well and it has vibes I can relate to a lot.

This is so detailed.

I love how ‘his’ voice isn’t harmonising with hers, it’s like a shadow, it’s just an exact mirror of how she sings. He doesn’t have any original thoughts. Even tiny vocal flourishes are exactly the same as hers. He doesn’t have anything she didn’t give him.

And she’s gazing at him with all that love, waiting for him to respond to her meaningfully, and she’s so disappointed that he doesn’t. But when she leaves him in the attic, he turns to watch her go, but she doesn’t turn back in time to see it.

I love watching this. The worldbuilding is so rich and the song is so beautiful that I can’t get tired of it.

i think that the fact she doesn’t see when he turns around to look at her captures this thing very well of like when you’re romanticizing someone and creating the version of them that u want to love in ur head, it’s never about THEM to begin with. so like that part is a little snippet that reminds us that there IS an actual human behind the person she built in her head, but she hasn’t really even gotten to know them & didn’t even WANT to know them. like once she’s done with the idea she built, she’ll never turn back for the actual person. idk that’s all very relatable to me

Okay, so it looks like people are taking this music video poetically, which is way cool. I took it rather literally. To me it looks like some girl is unable to find the companionship she wants among real people (either because she's just a bit demented or because of a post-apocalyptic scenario) and she has convinced herself to create the companion instead. She has the power to do so, driving herself mad by being able to create everything about a companion except companionship, making me horrified both by her and for her. It's very ray bradbury to me and I love it. It has a flavor from the episode of the Twilight Zone called "the lonely" where a man is banished to a planet alone, but has been granted a robot woman companion, and convinces himself that she is a real person.

One of the best things about Dodie's music is how the lyrics can change meaning over time. I feel like when this was written it was about being excited to get to know someone, feeling drawn towards them and wanting to unpick their brain. Now it feels like the message has changed to the dangers of the human condition- wanting to be loved so bad that we fall in love with the idea of someone, and not who they truly are. We fill the gaps in our lives with manifestations of who we need other people to be.

AMAZING

Nymphaeaceae

That can be done with ALL music, and is more based on personal perception rather than the lyrics themselves meaning. Most songs have the meaning you interpret, and over time that can change.

Fall in love with Jesus. HE is the only trustworthy in the universe. AND he paid for our salvation, if we repent and just trust in Him as Savior and Lord. But Dodie is OUTSTANDING!

I love everything about this video. It’s the most pure and emotional representation of my biggest struggle as an enneagram 4– making up who people are in my head before even getting to know someone. It’s a struggle to meet someone and involuntarily mold and shape him to be who I want him to be, regardless of whether he’s even close. It makes relationships impossible because it’s comfortable to live in fantasy. Just thank you dodie, thank you.

It’s kinda weird how this song feels like how I find relationships. I’ve never been in one but I’ve always liked the idea of being in one.
So I think of the first person I see, convince myself I have a crush on them and my “feelings” run wild.
But since I really don’t have a good grasp on reality it takes me a couple months, even years to realize it was all lies. One time I ended up hurting someone because of it. I feel awful that this happens and I can’t tell when I actually have feelings for someone or if I just imagine that I have feelings for someone.
.....But oh well.

ghostparty

I feel this. Like legit happening rn. I'm dating this dude who had a crush on me for 6 years, thought i liked him, and now i don't. I don't know what to do. And likd, he's a nice guy I don't want to hurt him.

Dani Vee

Aromantic here. I was in an almost-relationship (ldr), but ended it on my own terms. I don't regret it, and we're still friends.

It's kind of hard to define "being in love" for me, and I felt this song defined what I felt being completely in love with someone was like. Realizing the meaning was "unrealistic" makes sense, but is it wrong to still feel like this could be applied to a healthy perspective on relationships? I don't know. I just like the idea of having this person you can trust and care for so much, romantic or not. I don't have unrealistic standards seeing as I don't actively seek out potential partners, but I wouldn't view anyone as someone who can "fix" me or be the perfect piece to fit into my life. Is it wrong to find this song kind of... comforting?

From 2:20 to 2:45 are my absolute favorite moments of the video. The way Dodie lined up her breathing with the swells of the cello and violin. It's such a fine detail that made a huge difference to me.

Then when she gets to "I'm so human" again in the minor key, I always get chills. The way her face says all we need to know about how the relationship is going. She knows it's not what she wanted nor what she could ever learn to love but she doesn't want to admit to it quite yet.

25 seconds of absolute beauty.

I relate to Dodies music so much. Believing that person is the one. Having a close friendship for so long but wanting it to be more then just a friendship. When youre with them you get that special feeling inside. How your life is in a bad place rn but this person makes it better. But you realize that they don’t have the same feelings for you. You then realize this relationship is unhealthy for you and it’s not good for you believing, you let go even tho you know you’ll be sad.. And now you just think back.

dodie’s music is watercolour painting on a raining day and tea and shortbread with a friend and the sun coming out from behind clouds. it’s walking on a warm fall morning under the red and orange and yellow trees and it’s sleeping in in a bed that smells like lavender and lemongrass and it’s a sunny spring morning in the countryside.

I figured why not watch it, right? The video is SO FREAKING AMAZING! It adds SO much meaning to the song, and then really paying attention to the music not only changes the general mood of the song, but it also takes my breath away every time! The major chorus and then the minor fall just left me in awe as I pondered how much talent dodie has for writing music! Rock on, dodie!❤❤❤❤❤

Hey Dodie! Long time watcher, first time commenter. I just wanted to say how much I adore this song and video clip. Watching your works and yourself develop over the years has been astounding. I hope one day you will come tour Australia again as I would love to finally see you live. Lots of love!

This was hauntingly beautiful and so thought provoking. Really shows how our idea of the perfect relationship cannot match a real human relationship which we cannot build ourselves. It takes two people for that.

I love this one because it explains how we create an ideal person in our minds and that's not who the person is, and that makes us miserable and we end up with broken hearts. Particuarly enneagram 4's do this but I'm pretty sure a lot of people do this.

this song brings along many different emotions for me. The version with Jon Cozart was the one which made me feel happy and I think I just heard this version at the wrong timing when I heard this, I wasn't feeling the best and now every time I listen to this, I feel the way I used to. But Dodie's my fav. I LOVE YOU.

This reminds me of an idealized relationship. Like loving the idea of being in a relationship but not it in itself. You think you’re happy, but it’s just sort of empty. I always used to think this was a love song, and now it makes so much more sense. Almost like thinking you’re in love but you’re really not. I've had an experience like this a few years back, so watching the video really struck a chord. But seriously, this is absolute art.

You now have a new fan. I love your voice. And you seem like a silly and goofy person. Love it. I’m looking forward to following you in your career.

Ahh this made me cry. I get the impression it's about romanticising the idea of a person rather than being with the reality of them and how it could never work? Feeling tired by how things never turn out how they seem they will in the beginning of the relationship. Creating the perfect idea of them in your mind. Having it crushed. Whatever the meaning, it feels so profound. You're an incredible writer, Dodie. And Hazel's directing is amazing. What an amazing piece of art 💜

This video makes me cry, this comment made me cry.. all good healing tears that make me realize how silly I've been for so long. Theres such an innocent sweetness to just wanting an ideal love, it breaks us down over time though when we cant find it and at 31 years old, I still dont know the answer. Thank you @doddleoddle and @ghostsoundz <3

ok but the fact that the sculpture never actually looks at dodie until the end makes me so sad?? like he looks in her direction but never at her until he's being abandoned, and she doesn't even notice when he does. ughggh i love this so much

It's BEAUTIFUL, Dodie.

I listened to this once yesterday, had it stuck in my head all day

Marlon Erin

Very cleverly directed. I can't usually listen to lyrics, as in, I hear sound but I can't decipher what they say, bt this, the way Dodie present her lyrics, wow. There's a perfect gap between each word. You are forced to listen to her, really listen. And the scenes presented just tie it all up. Brilliantly done.

Zaku Guriin

I am super happy to see your music getting the recognition it deserves but to be honest with you, your original song you made was superior. Always loved the accoustic. Just felt like it fit with the lyrics, for with the heart. Keep up all the hard work Dodie. I can't express how happy it makes me that you are finally getting the attention you deserve. You have an amazing outlook and your music touchea on stuff a lot of music these days is missing.

I love this,
The acoustic version of this song you did a while ago had such a different feel, it felt like a conversation between two people who had the same wishes for the future it was sweet almost uplifting but with this version the same story is told only the thoughts of one person, just the fantasies. She paints a fake picture of her future, of the person she has feelings for.
The second version hits close to me. It perfectly describes, how I deal with new people I meet, people I have crushes on. I make a version of them in my head, make them perfect. Even if I actually don't know anything about them. They often end up not living up to my expectations. Which is really damaging for the realationships and made me lose them

I love this girls voice. it's stellar

amazingpm3

2:39 is my favourite shot in the entire video, just for that eye flicker. The amount of emotion conveyed in the smallest of actions always impressed me. You can see her searching for something in his eyes, a hint of recognition, or humanity. Eyes are the window to the soul and it’s as if she can’t find that soul- she’s just seeing her own reflection looking back at her. That one eye flicker is the pivotal moment for me that shows that’s she’s suddenly realised how she’s been projecting everything she wanted him to be onto him.
