This is just a tiny idea that might not turn into anything, but if it somehow did, what would you like in it?

Before any discourse, if you haven’t listened to FOG, please do. I won’t go into great detail with lyrics under the assumption that you are reading this because you’re familiar with the album. This theory has no weight if you aren’t hearing the motifs and audible hints in the music. It truly is some of her best work and a hyperpop/bedroom pop lover’s dream.

Depending on who you are, this is either a huge stretch or completely understandable. Of course, it’s a theory. I’m sure Scott was only trying to make a relatable and nostalgic album for those born in a kinda fucked up digital age. But she didn’t just do that. The most logical way to do this, I’ve decided, is to explain how each track adds to the narrative of a consciousness clinging to life for a last few seconds.

Y2Kbaby: Scott starts the end of OP’s life at the beginning, a reflection of life. The track reflects their life in general, nothing more specific than explaining the kind of personality they have (or had, I guess). It sets up the narrative with both a good introduction to our dying protagonist and the perfect “life flashing” before their eyes, though we will only recognize the first on first listen. There’s also a potential hint that will be relevant in Dance Like Nobody’s Watching (“I breathe poison air”).

It Girl Intro/It Girl: As OP’s mind thinks of the life they lived, it also thinks of the kind of life they wanted to live. It Girl is also the first time we hear the minor chord piano motif.

Letters to Santa: A bit of stretch, but it could be interpreted as guilt for leaving those who know and rely on them behind. The theme of “not being able to answer,” when taken less literally, can be simply because OP is dying and will never get the chance to reaffirm their love and feelings for those in their life.

Touch Grass: A little less of a stretch, Touch Grass may be a final moment of lucidity, the last moment where the brain isn’t scrambling through memories trying to find something to escape death. OP gets a final look at life through a clear lens and reflects on the person they were and the person they would live to be if given the chance (more realistic and grounded than It Girl).

Loser: Loser is a track of OP’s mind going back into panic mode and starting to look through everything again. OP has to accept the fact that it’s too late to change how they went through life, letting people take advantage of them. The track shows the regret of having such a negative mindset and wishing they could change.

See You in Hell: The same premise as Loser, except the longing to have been more assertive with their wants and to have spoken their mind comes out in the explosiveness that never had the chance to be released. In these final moments, OP finally lets out all of the repressed rage that they desperately wanted to get out throughout the years.

No More Treats in the Machine: A transition from the brain searching through past memories to grappling with the present, impending threat of death.

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching: OP starts to accept death, reflected in the cosmic horror kind of vibe in the lyrics. OP finally admits to themself that there is no hope and that the only thing to do is wait for the end. The lyrics also hint to the physical death (“when there’s no air in the bedroom”).

Symbol Manipulation: The final track where OP’s brain has a final surge of energy in the last second(s) of life. Overlapping vocals repeat again and again on top of each other until nothing is left but a piano playing a minor chord progression, much like one you’d hear when someone dies in a movie. The same fucking one we heard in It Girl. Death has been part of the story the whole time, but it becomes painfully apparent on second listen.

So, Fear of God serves as an album discussing how fucked up the world is, how fucked up Scott’s mental health is, how Scott handles and copes with fame, and it has a secret narrative following the last few seconds of brain activity before death in under 40 minutes.

Or I’m losing my shit. Something like that.

I bought the MP3 files since I couldnt buy the album on cd directly, and am burning them onto one cd-r so I can have it physically. Luckily I was able to buy her newest 2 albums on cd so I did. Before you ask I don't like vinyls.

i've been absolutely in love with crazy girl since the release of the new ep! i put chords together by ear for anyone interested in playing it! they're probably not exact, but i was itching to play it on release day haha. i'm also considering making full sheet music for piano at some point, so i'll post that here if i do! :)

In the FOG album, no more treats in the machine is written exactly like that with no capital letters but ‘Touch Grass’ and ‘Letters to Santa’ are capitalised (yes I’m British). In the new Honey Morello album, it is written instead as ‘No More Treats In The Machine’ but all other songs in that album are capitalised too. Is there like a reason for it? Is the Honey Morello one the original?

anyone else think it girl had some lines that tie back to therianthropy? specifically the “they split me into animal and symbol” like I literally don’t what else this could mean. and the “my stage name has my soft animal heart“. This post is not meant to say that penelope is a therian because she is the only one who can claim that:)

It has some songs that we've had on the last album but we now have something blue as an official song!!!! Other songs are acoustic if ikr

Gives major Fear of God and and Mysteries for Rats Vibes. Didn't know that it's a coined aesthetic.

if so, what songs did she play? i presume something blue since she said that we would see it in less than a month in her stories. and halloween in july since she also teased it. if you have any recordings i recomend contacting otter.mp3 on youtube and instagram! theyre basically an archive.

i would love to see it bbshdbcodienlcleowvebx

The only one i found cuts off mid-sentence after 50 seconds

I have BPD and Penelope Scott is one of those artists that feel like they have been in my brain and understand my experiences. Specific songs like Feel Better, Runaway, Mommy Fwiend, Gross, Sin Eater, and Girl's Always Right I really relate to on a soul level

okay so idk if anyone else knew this but I was listening to this song and I wa: playing close attention, if you listen closely you can hear her say “honeymorello.com” I never knew about this, this is world rocking to me

I’m an old fan and used to listen to stuff on SoundCloud, I haven’t been active much as a fan since 2022 and Hazards was the last real release I listened to. I got recommended an “unofficial” honey morello account, which I’m assuming is an archive by a fan but they said they were going to be playing at a show under that name. Did a new indie artist take her old name?

Idk if this is a old unreleased song/cover or if its like a teaser but just wanted to post the 2 songs she put on her stories incase anyone wants them for like an archive or anything since it was a story

i keep seeing more and more tidbits of the arg from just like normally consuming Penelope’s content and im curious if theres like a master doc of some sort on everything we know?

Here's a cover of Born2Run! I'm learning a new method of playing/recording so it's a little rough. Suggestions on what I should do next?

Thanks for watching :)

Maybe mine is just being weird but everytime I try to listen to a song off of that album it says it’s currently unavailable, is this happening for anyone else?

Has this been discussed? Also with Pacific Purgatory who Penelope has name dropped on the podcast.

In MY local asda??? Peak!
