So in her new song Aquamarine, she decides to take the opportunity to discuss a variety of complex matters. Firstly the lyrics “The world is my oyster baby come touch the pearl the world is my oyster and I’m the only girl” exposes the cruel nature of the modern day pearl industry. She’s saying that if overconsumption of pearls continues, then she’ll be “the only girl” wearing pearls because the oysters producing pearls may become extinct. This sentiment of overconsumption is echoed in the lyrics “give me more” and the fact this lyric is repeated highlights how not only do regular people want more, but so do companies.

Next, the lyric “I’m dancing in my own reflection” is Addison trying to warn us about climate change because she’s dancing in the reflection of water from extreme floods. This is further emphasised by the fact that she is “swimming in the sea with the salt in [her] hair”. The fact that she’s “kissed by the sun” is her firstly warning her listeners of the dangers of the sun especially when combined with “I’m the ray of light” is her warning us of the dangers of global warming.

Third, “I’ll take you with me high, high, high, high” is her discussing how climate change has affected avian migratory patterns.

“I’m not hiding anymore” “I won’t hide” and “I’m free” is her telling us that she’s no longer afraid to speak out about the injustices that Mother Nature experiences at the hands of humans.

She chooses to personify herself and take on the role of these different types of disasters because it helps create a more intimate connection between us, the listeners of Addison’s message, and climate change.

Finally, she chooses to impart some of her knowledge onto us and implies that not only is it necessary to be educated on climate change and nature, but also that we need to be educated in maths. “I’m transforming and realigning” is her teaching us about matrices. She’s teaching us that it’s ok to make mistakes in maths and for example, if the matrix transformation you applied to a point in 2D space hasn’t given the desired result (maybe you wanted to rotate the point about the origin for example), then you can transform the point again in order to realign it and try again. The reason it’s necessary for her to flex her mathematical wisdom is so that we are more likely to pay attention to her message because we will then perceive her as sage.
