Concert synopsis[]
Melanie opens each show with a distorted voice monologue coming from Cry Baby while in the womb.
"Can I stay here? In my safety? And warmth? Do I really have to go out? Into that sadistic world again? To be chewed up and spit out? I kick and I scream. Borrowing time. Knowing. I must be born."
More to be added
A slowed down version of "The Principal" starts to play as an interlude. The screen shows a wall with portraits of children holding signs supporting Palestine. The signs say respectively:
- "END THE OCCUPATION"
- "FREE PALESTINE"
- "END THE GENOCIDE"
- "RESISTANCE IS LOVE"
- "FUCK COLONIZATION"
- "YOUR SILENCE WON'T PROTECT YOU"
After the song "EVIL", Melanie opens the last song "WOMB" with the same distorted monologue as the one she opens the show.
"Can I stay here? In my safety? And warmth? Do I really have to go out? Into that sadistic world again? To be chewed up and spit out? I kick and I scream. Borrowing time. Knowing. I must be born."
More to be added
Melanie gives a speech, screams "Free Palestine" and then leaves the stage.
After that the stage starts to blow up and the screen starts to break, then the same bear from "Play Date" appears holding a heart saying "GTFO" while "Angels Song" is playing in the background, ending the concert.
