Fun Fact: Back when this was Anime Campaign, Lorelai’s designed was more similar to her father, and her personality could accurately be described as “valley girl unironically.” In the epilogue stream, Brendan said that if the story was ever to be remade into a more professional format, one of the major changes he’d do is give her more depth and less (but still present) annoyances. Her first appearance hasn’t even officially come out yet, but I can already tell it’s gonna work out.

@@elenafriese891 oh god.. that chapter... it hurt so bad to listen too.. you know what chapter I'm talking about

It feels like the first part of the song is sung by Molly, describing how she feels overworked and basically carries her family on her back. At the end it dips into some of the mantra she learned from Giovanni; she should “just say no!” and be the bad guy rather than trying to be the responsible one all the time. The second part, starting at 1:00, is Lorelai describing how she’s shut herself away in a “perfect” world of her own design. Fears? Imperfections? Past memories? Who needs ‘em when you can make anything your heart desires? However, she’s debating whether or not to let Molly into her fantasy sphere. She could continue to sit back and let Molly handle all the family responsibilities (thinking that Molly can’t “say no”), or offer a hand of support to her sister, and, by doing so, overcome her own loneliness in this “prison of plastic.” Then, the third part, which is at 1:58, is actually their mother singing to the both of them, reminding her daughters of the events that transpired (likely a fire set by Lorelai that led to her mother’s demise, based on the references to fire throughout the song, and several of the verses during Lorelai’s part related to avoiding the truth and not “reaping what she has sown” ). Mom then urges the two to reconnect. While they can’t heal all wounds, with a sisterly bond, they can begin to conquer their trauma and “come to mama”- accept their mother’s death.

It feels more like its their mom, Calliope, singing to them. She first states their problems then states her solution, first addressing Molly, calling her out on how much of a pushover she is, then telling her to stand up to herself, forcing the others to act on their own. She then addresses Lolerai, calling her out from her make believe world, and how she tries to use her creations to escape her loneliness because she's too afraid to admit that she misses Molly. The third verse seems to be Calliope addressing them both and how they should reconcile and how they shouldn't blame themselves for the fire.

ANIMATED VERSION????? OH MY GODDDD

I think I finally understand why Martin is so neglectful towards Molly and coddles Lorelai so much. *spoilers* . . . . . . . . . While Martin is immature and aloof, he also loves his daughters dearly. He is not a cruel person, as shown by his flashbacks. After the accident with his wife, his life was thrown into chaos as much as the girls', but he was never the one who was good at problem-solving in his family; he was the emotional pillow for his wife. As Molly is a lot more put together, and not the cause of the fire, he probably sees a lot of his wife in her. He thinks she can take care of the family matters with no issues, just like his wife did. He doesn't see her overworking herself and him acting lackadaisically like a child as an issue, because his wife would do the same and he would cheer her up by acting that way. That doesn't work with Molly, because she is not her mother; Martin doesn't see that though. Meanwhile, Lorelai takes a lot after him. She's a very emotional and childish girl, despite her age. She also is the one who caused the fire who killed her mother. Because of this, she locks herself into a bubble to avoid interacting with reality; the terrible reality that she lives in which she feels was created due to her own fault. She can't confront the current life that was created due to her epithet. Martin likely understands her emotional pain and, in his typical "comfort his wife" aloof love style, he coddles her to keep her from feeling the trauma from accidentally killing her mom. As Martin isn't the logical analytic type his wife was, he doesn't see that focusing his attention towards the daughter who caused the accident to keep her from feeling guilty and alone is causing one of his children to feel unloved, overworked, and alone. He also doesn't see how it is unhealthy to feed her isolation desire in her locking herself into her epithet world; the same way that a parent with a hikkikimori (a child who refuses to leave their room) doesn't understand that allowing them to lock themselves away is unhealthy. Martin's behavior is based on real parents with traumatized children. One with an obsession towards being hyper-competence due to keeping order of their chaotic life and the other with a trauma so extreme they can't bare with it, locking themself away to avoid confronting the reality of their situation. Martin is not the best parent, but he doesn't know what to do. He is as thrown into chaos as his daughters. He is not very intelligent, analytical, or self-aware. Being all of that for the family was his wife's job. Now that she is gone, he is trying to handle his new family situation in the way he always handled his life when his wife was still around. He doesn't know how to live any other way and likely thinks he is doing a good job, because the daughter that caused the accident is putting on a false mask of confidence and happiness, while his other daughter is growing into an extremely competent woman who is the spitting image of his deceased wife; and in his mind, what could be wrong with his daughter becoming like the woman he idolized as being so perfect at everything she did? Just an analysis.

Theory Crafting: Lorelei mentions back in the KS Announcement how she seems to be within her Epithet and fighting someone/something, and states “and this is for my family, who you burned!” In this opening, her half of the song mentions “slay your dragon.” Of the characters revealed, the closest this could be to is Graham. He’s even shown in the beginning of the KS announcement when it’s flaming in the background. Considering the mention of the death of Molly and Lorelei’s mom - and Molly’s subsequent phobia of fire - my personal theory is that Molly and Lorelei were creating s’mores (what Graham is made of) when the fire got too intense and eventually ended in their mother passing away. Lorelei then uses Graham as a catalyst to vent her frustration from that day and “slay” what had killed her mother and vicariously come to peace with what had happened.

I wonder if Graham would subtly support Lorelei to reconnect with Molly once she is forced into her “Dream Bubble”, try to make things right!

That "come to mama" line scared me a bit. Since their mom is currently in tombstone orchard, there are some disturbing implications.

what intrests me the most about this song is the line "you were the matchstick" with mollys fear of fire and what has been hinted at so far it seems mollys mother died in some kind of fire and that line implies that it might have been the sister or even molly that accidently started that fire in the first place personally I think it was mollys sister really because some of the song seems to be sung in mollys perspective which I'm guessing is from the beginning till that brief pause before the line "whats life like when you grant your own wishes" which is where we switch perspectives to her sister and if I'm correct in the sisters perspective there is a very intresting verse "innocent playing turned to dismaying the dead of midnight princess of plastic your were the matchstick but how could you have known" and from this and from what we already seen of the sister wanting to be the main character I pieced together that either the two girls were litrely playing with fire or something got into an argument which caused one of them to accidently start the fire that or the older sister felt like molly was getting more attention then her so in a attempt to get her parents attention she caused the fire however these are just theories and I could be completely wrong either way I cant wait to read the book when it comes out

I've been waiting for this ever since I've heard the teaser on twitter! This is amazing!

The way that Sapphberry says "-maybe you can have a taste, EPITHET ERASED" is really good, nothing else to say.

Maybe it me reading to much into it but. When I finally reached the end of the song "come to mama." Hit me with the sudden feeling that the song is sang by their mother. Someone who knows the two girls very well. (Clearly it's not the dad.) Someone who would not have blamed them for the fire because it was an accident. If the mother is as deeply caring as I hope she is I doubt she holds any grudges and suffering watching her daughters suffer. Because instead of being each other support, one is left at the mercy of their shit father. And left being the adult because let be honest their not a soul taking care of Molly. And Loralai is ecasping into herself and fantasy worlds. Really dark with how color and poppy the music is.

Wow, that "come to mama" line really sticks out like an emotional wrecking ball I am so ready!

The more I listen to this song the more I realize despite the upbeat tune there's a lot of pain in these lyrics... man, this book is gonna be amazing

I love how easily this song switched from fast paced crazy lyrics to calmer stuff and right back to speed. It made it an absolute pleasure to memorize

When I first listened to this song, I thought it was all just metaphors to the events of the actual book. And though, most of the lines ring true. Some of them are actually either direct quotes from the book, physically describing what happens, or subtle glances at the important plot points in the story. At first hearing I never thought "washing the dishes" would be that important to the story but it somehow is. "Baking? Self reflection? So exhausting. Take those imperfections and coat them in frosting" is what Lorelai actually did in the book. Giovanni tasks her to bake cookies without magic and when they inevitably get burnt or don't even get baked, she would cheat by using magic and cover the imperfections with frosting. If I remember correctly she also literally wipes away her own reflection from a glass pane with frosting because she can't stand looking at herself. This song is surprisingly literal when you've actually read the book. It's basically describing the basic synopsis of the PoP plot.

The acceleration and strike of the notes filled me with fear, ecstasy, and a third emotion I can't name. Beautiful like a Fairy, awesome and Terrific. The Blyndeff sisters, trapped within their Prison of Plastic, caught between delusional nightmates and desires. Still makes me twitchy.

2:40 OH SNAP! I hope this means that when we get to the flashback portions of the book, the singer's gonna be their mom's voice. I bet she'll sound amazing in the role! EDIT: SO, just listened to the song again and it's literally just the mom sing-advising/ chastising her daughters to make up, I love it.

Huh. Just realized, Molly is a character that is really about Maturity. Like, her father and I believe her sister refuse to grow up, which I believe is because they cant face that their wife/mom died, and Molly, the youngest, is adultified as she has to take all the responsabilities of her familly. Even thou the other characters, like GIOVANNI POTAGE, just remind her that she is a kid and should live as one

This is absolutely amazing I can't wait to hear/read the book

Dang. Hearing the part about "being the matchstick" just hurts now. Someone put tears in my eyes!

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It's so energetic and the lyrics are just getting me super hyped for the book! I also like that the Epithet Erased title now has flames on it since there appears to be a general theme of fire, it also makes me realize that season 1's logo might've had shards coming out of it to represent Mera

Knowing nothing of this series and feeling burnt out from always working two jobs, this song still speaks to me.

Good insight! My one disagreement is that since Baking is equated to self-reflection it feels like something she doesn't do, but might have once. Maybe it was how Lorelai and their mom bonded?

A very good song that gives more info on Molly and Lorelei's relationship while hinting on stuff. Though while that "Come to Mama" stuff hits hard I was expecting the next set of lyrics being "End the drama!" or something like that after the trauma part.

Okay! This hits SO much harder now that I've listened to the audiobook. Best girl Molly really needs a break, and by God is she gonna get one. And Lorelei!... poor baby is going about her troubles all wrong and I feel bad for her, but am so glad she gets a reality check. Y'all are amazing, if you ever make an animation of the book I will constantly be watching them! Great job!!

I agree with this very much-

After finishing the book and the lyrics having to do with the book makes this song so much cooler.

Finally listened to the audio book yesterday after the preview dropped and I think I understand this song a lot better now

I just noticed in the old photo with Molly's mom Molly has her hair done up in 2 buns with beads but throughout the show her hair is an absolute mess. My guess is her mom would be the one to always do her hair but now....... yeah. Can't wait to cry myself to sleep once this comes out in full.

AHHHHHHHH. Anyway. I can't wait for this! It's really neat, there's a frenetic energy in I this I adore. It ebbs before flowing even faster and it doesn't *stop* It's beautifully, fittingly jazzy, and I just love the brass section in this. Either way, all I'm saying, is that I love this. Can't wait.

@don't be surprised What's here, you being a menace? Because that's what I see

i think the start of the fire might have been something cooking related. The lyrics say a lot off food related things (mainly at the start of Lorelais start of the story). Another theory that kinda plays off of this is that it was a mistake while trying to make smores, probs cause of the "slay your dragon" part that show the smore dragon along side the fact that "to slay your dragon" could also hint at dealing with your problem/trauma.

Plot twist: her mom was burned out literally 🔥 and, ironically, figuratively, explaining the dragon that should be slayed and fear of fire.

2 lines in and the subtlety of the lyrics is gone. I love it

God fuck I'm already in tears over what lorelais part of the song implies about her role in the death of Momma blyndeff

It actually sounds like their mother is consoling the sisters, to put their hatred aside

I love the little slice of character building in the family picture. Molly's hair is neat and cared for, while in modern times, its crazy because it was probably her mother or sister who did her hair, and nowadays her own wellbeing and looks are a dead last priority for the poor muffin. Lorelei's wearing regular clothes, with a matching hoody to her little sister, while in modern day she's dressed for fantasy, not reality, and when the glamour fades you can see how tattered and broke she is.

YOOO WE MAKIN IT OUTA THE PRISON OF PLASTIC WITH THIS 🔥🔥🔥 💯💯💯💯

Ok, I have a dumb theory but hear me out. Molly's sister (can't spell her name for some reason!), whilst in one of her bubbles, said that Graham (her Smorzilla thingy) burned her family and many commenters here are making connections about how one or both sisters started the fire that killed their mother. Graham hay be a coping mechanism or (since he's made of smores) the girls tried to cook smores and started a fire.

At first it sounds like Lorelai is talking to her sister trying to help her, but after a minute i can hear her talking to herself

I'm sure Lorelai has a dream bubble where she has a fake version of her mother.

Every bit of EE content you release hypes my up for the book further and further. Can’t wait to read it!

Ending goes so hard. I love the Epithet Erased title cards. The simple action of saying the title as a part of the melody really fits for this show in a way I can't explain. It's like the narration in each episode, in that the world is constantly commenting on itself. The intro is consciously hyped that the show is about to start. So much fun.

Cant get over the fact that the wrecking ball is orange like Vincent Murder 😢

Dang so much story meaning packed into one song, and its a great song! I love the playing with tempo, it really add to that stress amping up feel.

I’ve listened to this song almost nonstop since it was uploaded. Truly a great song and it only hyped me up more for not just the book but everything Epithet Erased. Thanks for this great world all y’all

I'm glad I'm coming to this after having finished the audio book. The wordplay is really good, but there is a lot of heavy spoilers in this song. Glad the trailer had the short version.

God damn this song almost made me cry

Really happy to know that we'll hear more from these characters again.

I love this a lot more than the original OP, tbqh.

oh man that was SO COOL! Love this series and I wish we could see more of it

I can't believe I didn't listen to this all the way through until now. I've read (listened to) Prison of Plastic three times now and WOW. Powerful lyricism here; hits me CRITICALLY after PoP. To say nothing of the amazing singing and instrumental! The video and blink-and-you-miss-it visuals are subtlety curb-stomping my heart. The mixing was excellent I love you Altr Audio (Alterclad).
