manic pixie dream

MANIC PIXIE DREAM is an indie pop break-up single that comments on the manic pixie dream trope. The character, usually feminine, is shown through the gaze of the, often male or masculine, main character. The character, often creative and neurodivergent, lives within the mind and perception of the other person, creating an unrealistic, shallow, and incomplete character.

The song explores this trope's real life impact and pushes for the listener to feel unburdened by the judgments, assumptions, and projections of others. While you can accept that you are made of thousands of personalities perceived by the people you meet in life, you are only completely known by yourself. Acknowledged by far fewer is the reality that we too project our own bias onto our relationships and the people we meet, narrating from our own nuanced perspective. To accept this and to choose to lead from a place of kindness, humor, and empathetic curiosity is to free yourself from being bound by one person’s or society’s categorizations. This includes the assumptions you have of yourself. You are a main character in your own right. ☽˚。⋆.
