"to take my love away, when i come back around will i know what to say?"
chihiros parents, as many know, were 'taken away' from her and turned into pigs by a bathhouse for spirits owner named yubaba and she has to work at the bathhouse in the spirit world to get them back ...
3 disclaimers before you continue 🪡
i have watched this movie since i was very young so i had a good idea and concept so please dont try and argue with me lmao but im open to different interpretations
spoilers to spirited away ahead ! read with caution
enjoy and repost plz ❥
"said you wont forget my name
not today, maybe tomorrow"
yubaba, the owner of the bathhouse in the spirit world, changed chihiros name to sen as a way of controlling her so she start to forget herself and her name and what her goal was, so yubaba will keep ...
... and she basically signs her life away as well to yubaba. so in a sense [to take my love away,] could be interpreted as her love (parents) being taken away and when she sees them again, what she'll say to them if they even remember what happened
"saw your seat at the counter when i looked away
saw you turn around but it wasnt your face"
another exact refrence to chihiros parents getting turned into pigs by yubaba. chihiros parents got turned into pigs by sitting down at a bar fillied with food that belonged to the ...
"you told me it was war, said you'd show me whats in store
i hope its not for sure can you open up the door?"
yubaba warns her continuously about how work at the bathhouse was treacherous and too hard for a weak human. which could be a refrence to [you told me it was war,] ...
... her permanently as a worker in the bathhouse with no way to get home and also to use her parents as food
so this could be an interpretation of chihiro not knowing she will slowly forget her name
"But theres a part of me that recognizes you, do you feel it too?"
chihiro and haku had met before chihiro ended up in the spirit world, and haku told her how he'd know her at the start of the movie since she was young but she couldnt exactly remember haku or where she had ...
... spirits but they ate it without knowing and chihiro warned them not too. so she went off and explored instead but when the spirits started coming out at night, she went back to get them but it was too late. [saw you turn around but it wasnt your face] her seeing them as pigs
another possible refrence to this line in the song is the war/fued between zeniba (yubabas sister) and haku (yubabas henchman) and chihiro witnessing haku go through challanges and attacks and her wanting to know why/more [you told me it was war . . .]
end of thread 🫧🌱
if you made it this far, i appreciate you a lot! sorry it was so long, had a long to say and lots of pictures to show!
ive loved studio ghibli forever and this was super important to me and you know that if you know me
if we arent moots nd u read, follow !
... but haku told chihiro she needed to work to get her parents back so she ignores yubabas warning and demands a job that she was not cut out for to get her parents back which could be a refrence to [i hope its not for sure can you open up the door]
"wringing my hands in my lap,
and they tell me its all been a trap
and you told me you dont think you'd make it back
i said 'no dont say that'"
chihiro learned about haku being able to turn into a dragon
and when haku had his fued with zeniba, yubabas sister, haku gets ...
@kennyrosenova
i wouldnt use the word "slutty", since shes a minor and also its just very wrong
but youre right wearing a straight up bra, instead of like a sports one for a listening party is kinda craze
"i was waitin' in the garden, contemplatin', beg your pardon"
billie did change this up a bit when refrencing spirited away, haku didnt find her in the garden however but he did take her to it and took her to the pig pen to try and find her parents, when chihiro realized she ...
couldnt recognize them she ran back to the garden outside the pig pen and haku found her there and gave her food and she cried about how she was starting to forget herself but haku gave her something to remember. [beg your pardon] she was shocked about how she had forgotten ...
met him before but the second she saw him again she felt drawn to him and continued to ask about him by other people (lynn, zeniba, kamajii) to figure out more about him.
@darlingnotagain
its soo annoying like yes ive liked her since around 2019/2020 but not everyone was old enough to have that kind of media back then! like younger fans who are just starting to get media and stuff to start stanning people are just as big fans as we are
go check up on your loved ones <3
rather its your mom, dad, sister, brother, grandpa, grandma, anyone
let them know you love them, please
you never know when its your last minute with them
ive been seeing a lot of chihiro explaining threads that are leaving out a lot of shit and ive watched the movie so many times and have for many years, should i make a thread that i think will actually make a lot more sense ??
@billiesbtch2
yk ur nose nd mouth r connected right its not that big of a deal if she rather do that then wipe it with her hand, tired of u guys being just as bad as they are and making fun for her being human
do better
[and they tell me its all been a trap] could be about zeniba using haku and manipulating him to do her dirty work OR yubaba tricking chihiro about the test she gives her in order to get her parents back but chihiro knew it somehow and figured it out.
[wringing my hands in my lap] could be a refrence to her trying to clean the blood off of haku or just her stressing out OR to her grabbing haku while yubabas 3 heads try and push him down to the incinerator in yubabas room.
injured terribly by zenibas paper birds and flys into a window in the bathhouse that chihiro was by and she sees him injured and angry and when he flies out still injured, she decides to climb out the window and follow him to yubabas room in the bathhouse to try and save him ...
