In the world of Melanie Martinez, school is a battlefield and the nurse's office is the sanctuary. She paints a vivid picture of a student using every trick in the book to escape the torment of bullies and an unsympathetic teacher. The lyrics reveal her longing for respite, even if it means faking illnesses or seizures to get that coveted pink slip - her ticket out of class. It's a cleverly twisted take on teen angst, reflecting on how sometimes, survival in high school can feel like needing to play sick just to catch your breath. #TeenAngst #SurvivalTactics #SchoolIsABattlefield
