Life Path Number 9: Mars, Jupiter, expansion, connection to the masses/foreign cultures, humanity, teacher & student Birth Number 7: mystery, intuition, healing, and wisdom. I discovered in an article, her stage name "Hemlocke" came from a name generator and she added the "e" at the end to pay homage to Lorde. Hemlock is a plant and tree used for medicinal purposes. Scorpio Sun & Venus: Her music is centered around processing her intense emotions dealing with awkward phases, growth, love & heartbreak, depression, and lack of control. She places those feelings on upbeat, quirky, synth-pop melodies, adding depth from a playful and humorous space in her music. Jupiter in Pisces: Connecting to music is also a spiritual & emotional release for her. The lyrics of her song "pos" verse, "I was made for the war, fix eternal scars, But here I am rockin' with my flimsy camisole". I associated these lyrics with her plutonian/martian nature.

Her pregnancy & partnership with her bandmate, Lucas Goodman were a secret to the public until she announced it a month after giving birth to her son. Generational gifts passed from maternal lineage.

BLABBERMOUTH

"I don't care about hits, SHUT UP!"

-A Doechii Artists Persona Commentary.

Today, I’m diving into Doechii’s lyric video breakdown of her latest mixtape, Denial Is a River, featured on Genius. After watching both the lyric explanation and the official music video, I was left deeply inspired and affirmed in my belief that she is a truly remarkable artist. Her humour, insight, and relatability shine through, making the experience refreshing and meaningful.

Here are the highlights from the video that resonated with me the most:

Time Stamp: 00:00 - 00:30 min.

"The source is in me, everything that I need is within myself and the glory of God to lead me in my pathway."

Doechii begins by grounding herself in her present moment while reflecting on her journey. Her acknowledgment of the divine—"The glory of God took me by surprise"—was both humorous and profound, sparking my curiosity about the spiritual side of her artistry.

This reminded me of something crucial: everything we need to feel whole already exists within us. Her statement encapsulates one of the most essential aspects of creating art—recognizing it as an authentic expression of self.

"I don't care about Hits, SHUT UP!"

Her scream during this part was a raw reflection of the constant inner turmoil many of us feel—the pressure to be seen, valued, and respected. Hearing her verbalize this felt cathartic.

Doechii’s unapologetic stance reminded me that the external markers of success shouldn’t define our creative endeavours. What truly matters is simply being: existing fully in the act of creation without the weight of external validation.

" I'm going to write my story and go on my journey as it is"

This resonated as both a reminder and a challenge. It’s an acceptance of the inherent value of one’s existence and its influence on the art we create. The goal isn’t fame or glory—it’s the transformative process of channelling chaos into a piece of art that reflects the beauty of existence.

"And I made the Mixtape!"

This is the truest reward, to do what it is that you intended and be able to see yourself in that creation.

To go in between the internal and external odd, that pressure one's soul to go against it's nature, and come out as a manifestation of the truth that lives within oneself.

Time stamp: 05:56 -06:01 min.

"You selling doesn't make you a great Artist. All I know is that I want to be a great Artist."

This line encapsulates her philosophy: it’s not about the numbers or commercial success. Being an artist is about self-discovery, representation, and evolving through creation.

Her perspective reframes artistry as an exploration of human imagination and intuition—a journey into the phenomenology of existence itself.

Final Thoughts Listening to Doechii articulate her process was a reminder to embrace my own journey as an artist. Her words are both grounding and liberating, affirming that true artistry lies in the act of creating—not in external measures of success.

"Whoopsie, made a oopsie"

Oopsie… I might have gone a bit deep there (LOL), but isn’t that the beauty of art? It inspires us to reflect, relate, and rediscover ourselves in unexpected ways.

What are your thoughts on Doechii’s insights?

From the surreal to the sublime, these songs cover every corner of the music world.

g’morning everyone! i’m sorry for missing monday post but i really hope everyone had a great day yesterday! please make sure that you all drink water, eat something tasty, and do your daily affirmations!

i always start the beginning of the week off with something that’s good to vibe to and even though it’s tuesday i still wanna do that! so the song of the day is Girls Night Out by Babyface ft Doechii!!

[devitalise]

heyy i was hoping you'd like nymph, but no pressure, your taste is still incredible even if this album isn't your thing. but if you are listening to shygirl i recommend hollaback bitch. besides that i've been loving stressed by doechii (the colors version)

hope you've been thriving and tell everything you've been into lately <33

hiii it did grow on me! i liked honey this time round and i get nike now too 🤭😋 i’ve listened to hollaback bitch i prefer bbycakes 🫣

i feel like i’ve been so busy since the end of october but in a good way! so i spoke in a work conference, went to bodrum for a week, went away for work training last week and sat and passed a BCS exam (tech board things) and i’ve only just come back to work properly. just had a 1-2-1 that went really well! 5 months strong in this role and i’m slaying? feeling really affirmed and supported and i saw black panther on sunday! reconnected with my sisters recently so we’re trying to make an effort to see each other more the current plan is an arcade bar next month for my birthday anyways what have i been into

i’m on season 5 of true blood. she’s kind of losing me now feels a bit ridiculous idk. i don’t like bill and i think it’s ludicrous that he’s even framed as a love interest to sookie when alcide is literally RIGHT there

currently reading phantom of the opera

music wise i played sexy by coco and clair clair for a week and a half only just out of that phase

started my christmas and chill streams of course 😋

currently liking: rebecca black - crumbs, driia - after dark, i-sef u-sef - it stays the same

pinkpantheress did drop but i don’t really like it. it’s so slow there’s no drop what’s going on

i’m ordering my new laptop next week! i don’t think i’ll be making a simblr return so to speak ill share the kendall t-shirt and probably go back to living my life and play sims on the weekends

hope you’re doing well babe! 🤭😋🥰
