Melanie Martinez: Class Fight Meaning
Class Fight Lyrics
Kelly had a fat ass and trouble was cookin'
She had a boy wrapped around her finger tight
I fell in love with him, but he wasn't in my light
The teacher gave me notes to go out and...

#1 top rated interpretation:In K-12 (the movie) Kelly has a boyfriend named Brandon, but crybaby also likes Brandon. Kelly finds this out and cuts crybaby's arm. Crybaby gets upset and asks her mom and her dead dad for help. Her mom says she should let it go but her dad says "go for the throat " she takes her dad's advice and uses her powers to lift her and kelly up in the air and uses her hair to choke her. The teacher breaks them up and takes them to the office. I think this song is about how crybaby never gets what she wants and as soon as she does, something goes wrong and she gets in trouble.

#2 top rated interpretation:Crybaby finds herself in love with a boy who is already involved with someone else. crybaby becomes “jelly”.
She calls her parents for advice. Her mom seemed to be telling her to let it go, but her father takes it a step further by even encouraging her to “go for the throat”. (Which is weird bc her dad was killed by her mom in her song "sippy cup")
In the film, the boy she likes comes over to talk. Kelly's "friends" saw and kelly soon found out what was happening and beat up Crybaby. Then she took out a knife and cuts crybaby's arm.
So the lyrics
"Her face was fucked up and my hands were bloody
We were in the playground,
things were getting muddy
The teacher broke us up after I broke her"
could be seen in kelly's perspective. -

#3 top rated interpretation:She likes a boy but kelly has nice(r) features so the boy likes her. Crybaby goes to her parent for some advice. Her mom wants her to just let it go and forget about it. Her dad says to "go for the throat." In the film K-12 Kelly's friends see the boy talking to Crybaby and then tells Kelly. Kelly gets mad and hurts Crybaby. Afterwards, Crybaby uses her special powers and starts making both her and Kelly float in air and uses her hair to "go for the throat" just like her dad told her to.

In the film, Crybaby has a crush on a boy. Kelly also likes the boy and the boy likes Kelly because she has better features. But the boy decides to go talk to Crybaby. Kelly’s friends see this and tell Kelly. Then, at recess, Kelly goes to the playground with Crybaby and beats her up. Then she takes out a knife and cuts crybaby’s arm. In her song, “her face was fucked up and my hands were bloody,” was obviously Kelly’s side of the story. And “my one true love called me a monster” must mean that the boy who Kelly was dating called her a monster for beating up and cutting Crybaby. Afterwards, Crybaby becomes angry and uses her magic powers to lift and her Kelly up in the air and chokes her with her hair. She gets this idea from her dad telling her to “go for the throat.” Her mother, on the other hand, tells her to let it go. But she takes her dad’s advice. The song is good, and I like it, but the lyrics are a bit harsh. I know it’s about a film though. Nice one, Melanie! I love your music!

I think when Crybaby asked her parents what to do her mom encouraged saying "no no no don't you choke". And since her mom killed her dad maybe her mother remarried and he was watching wrestling in the living room saying" go for the throat.
-
To be clear her dad and mom didn’t actually give crybaby the advice she was thinking of what they would say. Cry baby’s mom didn’t answer the phone and her dad is dead so NO the parents didn’t actually help her or tell her what to do.

Jealousy for the girl. She has a boy. She wants him. It focuses on wanting and being unable to have. Fighting for what you love and it pushes it further from reach.

Class fight is where to girls are fighting over a boy and the other girl is winning and crybaby feels she doesn’t ever get what she want and she doesn’t wanna stand this so she want to fight the girl “go for the throat” is her father telling her not to give Crybaby win ofc and she get in trouble in the end.

I think Class Fight is about girls fighting over boys, and how the girl can get jealous easily. It’s also kind of saying that when a boy is with another girl, the person the boy is with is more likely to get mad at the girl than the boy himself, even if it is the boy’s fault and not the girl’s.
In K-12, Brandon was the boy Kelly and Crybaby were fighting over. Brandon was originally with Kelly and Crybaby had a crush on him, so whenever Crybaby was with Brandon, Kelly got jealous.
The chorus is when Crybaby calls her mother and asks about the situation between her, Kelly and Brandon. Her mother says to not hurt anyone and leave them be but her father said to ‘go for the throat’ as Crybaby did later. This is odd, because in Sippy Cup, her mother killed the dad and his mistress. So the father could be a figment of Crybaby’s imagination. Her mother could also be part of her imagination because her mum is an alcoholic, so she could be passed out.
The first part displays how Kelly is with Brandon and Crybaby is jealous and wants to be in Kelly’s position. In the second part, the verses can be taken from Kelly’s perspective. ‘Her face was f**ked up and my hands were bloody,’ that could relate to the part where Kelly cut Crybaby’s arm. ‘We were in the playground things were getting muddy.’ Their fight was getting worse as Crybaby strangled Kelly with her braids. ‘The teacher broke us up after I broke her.’ This can be taken by either of them, Crybaby because she strangled Kelly and then the teacher ended the fight or it can be from Kelly, because she broke skin and cut Crybaby.
This is my interpretation, sorry if I got anything wrong! -
i think that the line "mommy why do i feel sad, should i give him away or feel this bad?" is crybaby imagining shes talking to her mother because she was drunk and passed out most of crybabys childhood. i also think the line "no no no dont you choke" is what she imagined her mother saying and "daddy chimed in go for the throat" is crybaby imagining what her father would say if he were alive. (the masculine and feminine energys)

It’s about Crybaby not getting the boy she wants in school because Kelly (the popular girl and bully) is more attractive for some reason.
Crybaby THINKS of what her mum and dad would say to her, she doesn’t really call them or go to her house for advice, it’s a sleep away school. Maybe she did really call them, but a phone thingy wouldn’t pop out of nowhere, so Idk, it’s what I think. Because the dad would probably say “Go for the throat” when a wrestling match would be on TV.
So, the next day, Crybaby is in the playground and Kelly notices her or something, and they fight. Somewhere at the end, Crybaby uses her powers to levitate her and Kelly. She then strangles Kelly with her REALLY long plaits to show her who’s boss.
Brandon (the guy she loved) called her a monster and hated her for that. “And my own true love called me a monster.”
A teacher notices and splits them up (I think) and they go to the principal’s office.
Have a nice day/night! -
In school often fights breakout Melanie is part of LGBT so she might of had bullys in school many kids in schools target LGBT people

she has a crush on a boy but the other girl is popular so he likes her instead. she was mad at the girl for stealing him. she asks her parents what she should do but as we've seen from "dollhouse" they aren't sound in mind. she did what they said and hurt the girl but since the boy liked the girl, he called Crybaby a monster. now she doesn't know what to do with herself
