Melanie Martinez: Sippy Cup Meaning

Sippy Cup Lyrics

[Chorus]
Blood still stains when the sheets are washed
Sex don't sleep when the lights are off
Kids are still depressed when you dress them up
And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup

He's still dead when you're done with the bottle
...

   So clearly anyway you present something its not different from they way it truly is. Like if you wash a sheet that had blood on it still shows just not clearly. If you put nice clothes on kids it still doesn't matter if they are depressed and sad and syrup is not any different in a sippy cup.

   I think the message of this is very simple. No matter how something is presented, its nature remains the same. Blood will still stain even if it is washed away. If you make someoone depressed look presentable, it won't changed that they are depressed. If you put syrup in a sippy cup, it desn't change what it is.

   This is really hard to tell because there can be so many different things. What I think is that someone is having a really big struggle in their life, they are an alcoholic, doing drugs ("if they give you a new pill then you will buy it"), struggling with an eating disorder ("you got weights in your pockets when you go to the doctor"), and just a bunch of other horrible things.

   Crybaby's mom is a huge alcoholic which causes her to act over the top. The father thinks that Crybaby's mom doesn't know so he thinks he'll get over things. Crybaby's mom still doesn't know but she had to much alcohol, and she killed him and her mistress. Crybaby's brother is still sleeping but Crybaby knows something is wrong. Crybaby knows what happened and the mother poisoned her. So the meaning is similar to Dollhouse, so Crybaby's family puts the mask on for the public eye but people just think them as Angels straight from heaven. But Crybaby's mom gets out of her comfort zone so their going over the top.

   The song Sippy Cup is based on Cry Babys mother after finding her husband cheating, so she traps him and the woman and kills them. Harsh right? Then Cry Baby finds out but her mother puts her in bed and feeds her a so called syrup/drug. This way she won't remember.

   I think this song is about someone covering a intense situation up (well at least trying to) and give the child a "mixture" refered to as syrup in a sippy cup so the kid won't snitch.

   I think this song means that people try to see things differently when they know they are doing something wrong. "Syrup is still syrup in a Sippycup" refers to that you can't pretend that your doing something good when you know you are doing something wrong. In this song, they go through a series of lines comparing things like, "kids are still depressed when you dress them up" as in, you can't pretend things are all okay when they're not.

   I think the parents where acholics and omne night the mom got drunk and started too kill her children Melanie comes in and sees the dead bodies and instead of killling her the Mom drugs her up so she forgets and is fake for the rest of her life because the drugs didn't do the job and she's afraid of her mom
   
   
   
   
   That's a pretty dumb interpretation but the best I could do

    I think this song is about the girls and boys messing around with each other but it gets intense. But the line "syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup" means that the mom put a drug that is liquid and gave it to cry baby because cry baby wont remember what happened that night and kids didnt want to be friends with cry baby because of the sippy cup.

    I think the song is trying to send a message to boys and girls who want to be fake to impress someone. Being yourself impresses more than your Parents and siblings! Syrup is still the same in a sippy cup. And it impresses a lot of people! (lol no). You don't have to be fake for someone to find you attractive. Who cares what people think!!?

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    I think the meaning is Little girls and teens wanting to look more pretty. So they get surgery to make them pretty. Like how it says "syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup" It's saying be yourself. Syrup is still the same if you put it in the container. It stays itself. Being fake is changing who you are!!

    I think the song is about how everyone being fake and trying to hide and cover everything bad up. Like how it says that "Blood still stains when the sheets are washed" and "You call that A*** your own, we call that silicone." Means that people are trying to be fake, That's my terrible interpretation.
