Hey, Doctor Doctor meaning

I made a song called Hey, Doctor Doctor, and it's blown up recently. Thing is, hundreds of people have left me comments confused about what the song means, so I decided to finally put the basic meaning in a text post. Here's a really good animation of the song!! So u can listen :)

Lyrics:

Hey, Doctor Doctor! Could you tell me what's wrong? I know you're very busy so I won't make this too long I got a question 'bout the rain The fog that just won't go away And something quite absurd That I just learned the other day

I asked my friend a simple question 'bout the rain But then they all went quiet and looked at me in a funny way They asked me what I meant So I described the time I spent Avoiding all the puddles Though I still got wet

They said that morning had been a sunny day I asked the folks around us and they all said the same I sat confused, in my wet socks and shoes I shrugged and said "That's right! The sky wasn't gray, it was blue!"

But doctor doctor It's been so very long Since I've last seen the sun It seems they must just all be wrong Unless it's me who's been confused Then why've my blue skies been refused? And hidden from me by my rainy days?

So... what does it mean????????????????????????

Hey, Doctor Doctor is a simple metaphor about depression. People have also interpreted it as being about the neurodivergent experience and a bunch of other things, and those fit too. But I intended it to be about depression. It's about finding out the things you're struggling with aren't just something everyone deals with. The protagonist (I'll call 'em Pot) has to actively dodge puddles to get anywhere and lives in soggy clothes. When Pot goes "man, that rain's insane right?" to their friend, the friend has no clue what they're talking about. To everyone else, it's sunny outside. They don't have to think twice about where they step. At this point, Pot looks insane to everyone else, like they're hallucinating rain. So, even though their clothes are still dripping wet, they go "yeah haha my bad. you're right, it's sunny outside". In the end, Pot goes to see Doctor Doctor about it. You know in cartoons or that one Ronald McDonald ad where the sad person has the little rain cloud over them? That's the idea. It was raining outside one day and I thought "lmao what if only I could see this, that would be insane". Then I wrote a song about it. I totally see the neurodivergent spin on it, because the part where everyone looks at Pot weird definitely accidentally came from my experiences with diagnosed autism. Sometimes my relatable comedy landed: me: "you ever wake up and your brain feels like sludge?" friend: "yeah bro, all the time"

But sometimes my relatable comedy didn't land: me: "you ever walk across the street without looking when you're having a bad day, like gambling?" friend: "...no???" me: "you don't???" friend: "no?? are you okay??" me: friend: me: "I mean I haven't done that in a long time-" (literally did it last week) Ah, the joys of being neurodivergent. Never knowing what's appropriate to say. "Horrified looks from everyone in the room". If this explanation seems too detailed, I really thought this song was a simple metaphor, so I'm REALLY trying to be clear. Most people get it, but there's still hundreds that have been taking it literally. If you read this far, I'm shocked. Nobody ever uses comments on tumblr, but I'd love it if you commented "umbrella" and let me know you read down here. Thank u immensely for reading this far. So, even though I have literally never talked about it on Tumblr before, and don't expect anyone to see this, that's what my song "Hey, Doctor Doctor" means.

[phosphorus-12]

Grougal: Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey! Qilby: But I'm a vegan. Grougal: Wakey Wakey Vegetables and Sadness.

Qilby: You’re overthinking this. Yugo: You don’t know the appropriate level of thinking, Qilby. What if I’m underthinking?

Qilby: Let’s write Efrim a friendly note, shall we? Dear… Incompetent… Dumbass…

Yugo: Sometimes I drink milk straight from the container. Grougal: The cow?? Chibi: What? Adamai: Grougal, W H Y?

Qilby: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat? Mina >:O language Yugo: Yeah watch your fucking language Chibi: Okay, who taught Yugo the fuck word?! Adamai: 'The fuck word'. Mina: Are you stupid? You guys use the f word all the time Glip: Oh my god they censored it Qilby: Say fuck, Mina. Efrim: Do it, Mina. Say fuck.

Efrim: The saying “it is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission” no longer applies to Yugo.

Adamai: We should normalize not loving family members. Yugo: You can just say: “I hate my dumb fuck brother, Qilby” or whatever. Talk like a normal person!

Chibi: We might have gotten into a bar room brawl back in the city. Mina: Well, that was entirely predictable. Chibi: One of them punched a gang member. Mina: Qilby? Chibi: Yugo, actually. Mina: Oh, that was going to be my second guess.

Baby Grougal after being born: I woke up and chose VIOLENCE. I WILL COMMIT ARSON AND BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!!! I AM ANGRY- Yugo: Awwww, you’re so adorable! Give me a hug~ Grougal: Wh-What? nO, yOURE SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED OF ME! TREMBLE BEFORE MY WRATH- Adamai, recording: This is so cute.

Qilby: Why is it so hard for you to believe me?! Glip: … Qilby: Oh, right. The lying.

Balthazar: I hate you sometimes. Qilby: Well according to this picture Mina drew of us holding hands that's not true. Balthazar: Qilby, you drew that. Qilby: It doesn't matter.

Grougal: This should be illegal! Chibi: It is.

Phaeris is casually searching around the room Adamai: Hey Phaeris, what’re you looking for? Phaeris: My will to live. Mina walks into the room Phaeris: Oh, there it is.

Nora: No more making fun of me when I misuse dated cultural references, alright? Are we cowabunga on this? Yugo, sighing: Fine. We're cowabunga.

Nora: Made you all playlists! Nora: Efrim, yours has only heavy metal, and is dark like your soul. Nora: Chibi, yours has sad songs and blues to pair with your crippling depression. Nora: And Shinonome has the ABBA Gold album.

Nora: CHARACTER. FLAWS. ARE. FUCKING. IMPORTANT. Yugo: Me when someone tells me to stop eating mayo packets like they’re gogurt tubes.

Kidnapper: I have your father. Yugo: What? I don't have a father… Kidnapper: Then who just called me a lowlife bitch and spit in my face? Yugo: Oh my god, you have my brother Qilby.

Shinonome: Hi, could I ask how exactly does one accidentally set a lemon on fire?? Balthazar: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔 Chibi: Why were you microwaving a lemon??? Balthazar: I read boiling lemons helps cover up up bad smells (I wanted to cover up the scent of burnt oranges) but I didn't own any pots. Adamai: Did you burn an orange too? How??? Balthazar: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔

Yugo: You don't think I can fight because of my height! Chibi: I don't think you can fight because you're in a wedding dress. For what it's worth, I don't think Qilby can fight in that dress either. Qilby: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride.

Chibi: I'm trying to juggle family life and work life but I can't seem to find a balance. What do you suggest I do to keep everyone happy? Yugo, deadpan: Quit your job, kill your family.

Efrim: Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and… Grougal: Was diagnosed with mesothelioma. Efrim: Mamma called the doctor and the doctor said… Qilby: You might be entitled to financial compensation if he or a loved one dies.

The idea was spinning around in my head, so I drew this in math (ignore the text on the side)

i got a neat lil prompt/challenge! (that, no joke, came to me in a dream): try to show each stage of a character’s story arc through a song! in other words, if a character had a playlist that would tell their story, what songs would be in it? not limited to just songs with lyrics either, they can also be instrumentals or other works that fit who they are!

I ended up sticking with songs that have lyrics for this mini-playlist for Twig's arc— I would have loved to round it out with some instrumental tracks, but I just learned Tumblr has limits for how many audio tracks you can add to a post ^^; I couldn't include any songs for Twig's story before the events of the TPiaG fanfic, unfortunately... Maybe next time I'll post a Spotify link with some notes instead of using the format I do here, hehe.

A song for Twig's rapid descent into keeping up appearances:

Say I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy today

I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy today

They say put on a happy face

'Cause we're tick-tock, tick-tock

Ticking like a timebomb

A song for Twig's desperation to love others and find salvation in being useful to those around her:

I know exactly how the rule goes

Put my mask on first

No, I don't want to talk about myself

Tell me where it hurts

A song for everyone watching Twig burn herself up to keep others warm:

Icarus is flying too close to the sun

And Icarus' life, it has only just begun

This is how it feels to take a fall

Icarus is flying towards an early grave

A song for Twig awkwardly confiding in Dusknoir (warning for mild language):

I try to explain the good faith that's been wasted

But after an hour it sounds like complaining

Wait, don't go away, can I lie here forever?

You say that I'm better, why don't I feel better?

A song for Twig's perspective of herself that she holds inwardly but never quite voices aloud:

Like the river flows, just head off and go

Leave the biggest weights behind

Leave the burden in your life and move on

A song for Twig's realization that people genuinely love her, even if she doesn't understand why:

But doctor doctor

It's been so very long

Since I've last seen the sun

It seems they must just all be wrong

A song for Twig's mantras as she tries to understand her loved ones loving her back:

The little things that get under my skin

I cannot let them in, I cannot let them tell me that I'm not good enough

When I think that way I start to feel like there's no hope for me

I start to feel the gravity pulling me to hell

A song for Twig reminiscing on her upbringing after confronting her aunt and feeling angry, afraid, and determined in equal parts not to repeat her family's inherited abuse with Opal:

Ooh, don't you find it strange?

Only thing we share is one last name

Did I beat you at your own game?

Typical of me to put us all to shame

A song for Twig reflecting on the greatest lesson of her life:

I'd rather be my own best friend than my worst enemy

I'm one day closer to being who I wanna be

I finished this rough animation, idk if I’ll digitize it yet. The song is called “Hey, Doctor Doctor”, made by Milk In The Microwave (Terminally Billy on TikTok)

Sorry for the sound cut off, something in the audio glitched.

I originally posted this on my TikTok (the user in the corner) before I decided to also post it here.

[felix-lupin]

"Hey, Doctor Doctor" by Milk In The Microwave is legitimately one of the most lonelycoded songs I've ever heard unfortunately.

[randomly--accessed--memories]

When I think of Vox in the Heaven ending, the one song I can think of is “Hey, doctor doctor” by Milk In the microwave. Idk why, it just fits.

Added. Also, kind of a neat coincidence, but one of @voxaholic's OCs who make up Vox's Heaven friend group is cloud-themed.

[junos-cacophony]

All I listen to is TallyHall(/hj) but I’ll try to find other songs that I listen to.

So, as an artist, when I listen to songs sometimes they come with animatics. Not smooth animations because I've tried those and find them too frustrating.

So, like, "rule #34" by fish in a birdcage just got one. It's sexually abused Hunter, because I have ✷trauma✷ and Hunter is my punching bag for that.

Like this brainamatic (brain animatic) is really clear in places, I might try digital art again just so I can make it.

I also have one for "hey, doctor doctor" by milk in the microwave I also might make. That one is early TtT time skip before Hunter at all realizes how not okay or normal his upbringing was.
