The meaning or theme:

In an interview with Apple Music, Melanie revealed the theme of the song:

On each of my albums I like to include at least one "taboo" song about something many people deal with but no one talks about in music. I wanted to write a fun, lighthearted, song about being a person who experiences menstruation. How blood represents vitality and life. I wanted the chorus to be pretty and to use analogies for bleeding that were sweet. "Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate it's so scary, how my aura got him howling at my moon cycle baby." The rumbling sounds that lead into the song are my actual period cramps I recorded on my phone. With the conflict of patriarchal society brainwashing straight cis men to believe they should have any kind of say over other people's bodies, and also the general kind of ick that they get from the discussion of menstruation, I wanted to make the song extra uncomfy for them by going on to describe a man who lives for period sex! --- Melanie Martinez

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Why you always act so serious?
I said "Baby boy, you know I'm on my period", yuh
He bit the cherry down, he's delirious
Seeing red figures in his mirrors
And acting like a real tough, furious
Blood swimming turned him amphibious
He says he doesn't care, that he's into this
It happens every time the new season hits

[Chorus]
Skin ready for my heavy daily creme
I keep it handy, womb shedding
Any lessons, making room for blessings
Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate
It's so scary how my aura got him howling
At my moon cycle, baby

[Verse 2]
Now he kissing on the ground that I walk on
Tryna get another taste, but I'm all cramped up
Pain like a blade on the front lawn
But I don't give a fuck, 'cause I'm so strong
I don't gotta act, I'm ethereous
I could win a fight on my period
Matter fact, right now, I could build a pyramid
You messin' with my cycle, that is dangerous

[Chorus]
Skin ready for my heavy daily creme
I keep it handy, womb shedding
Any lessons, making room for blessings
Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate
It's so scary how my aura got him howling
At my moon cycle, baby

[Outro]
Moon cycle, baby
Moon cycle, baby
Moon cycle, baby
Moon cycle, baby
