"Melanie was better before" "Melanie was better after" hottest take: Melanie has always made good music and she'll continue to make good music, whether you like the music and still listen is up to you💕
It's so intriguing to know that Melanie not only writes songs but puts a piece of herself into each work and I'm thrilled with such joy knowing that this album is a masterpiece.
For those who follow Mel from the beginning, it's amazing to see her evolution ❤️🏠-->🍼-->🌧🧸🍰🚬🔥-->🚐🐺🍦🍭🍪-->🧼🛁🫧-->🚲🩹-->🎡🎠-->🥣🍭🔤🔫-->💉✂️-->🔪🛏👁🫙🍩-->🚍📚🛝💊🧪🍊🎂🏊🏻♀️🏢🧯-->🐰🍩🍽🪓🩸-->🐰🐱🎀💌-->🍄🪷🌱✨️🕳🧜🏼♀️🧙♀️🧝🏻♀️🕷🕸🪦👻🌳🕯🧚🏼♀️
I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet so I thought I’d point out that the ending of DEATH and the beginning of VOID match up seamlessly! There’s also the sound of a door opening at the end of DEATH and one of the lyrics in VOID mentions “looking for a doorway”, I’m starting to piece together what the narrative might be and I can’t wait for the album’s full release soon to figure it out :)
VOID This is the first song I fully produced on my own, also in the portal room. The first thing I put down was that bass guitar top line. It was an exact melody from a voice memo I had recorded a few days prior. The chorus melody and lyric came all at once just from looping the bass line. I put down a simple programmed drum loop that was later replaced/mixed in with live drums by Rhys Hastings. I remember screaming that chorus while crying, it felt like a weight I needed to get off of me. The weight of my anxiety, the weight of my brain, and it perfectly fit the second stage. A void. A dark place where you are left alone with your own thoughts for introspection, in order to find the light within yourself. - Melanie Martinez
I am a metal and a '80s rock guy. So this shocks most people but Melanie Martinez is the only thing that I listen to that's not metal or rock. Melanie holds a special place in my heart solely for the purpose that she's different from other pop artists. And I cannot stress the fact that I am a guy and any dudes that like Melanie Martinez should not hide it. EDIT: thx Sooooo much for all the likes, I appreciate all men (and women) that are representing Melanie.
"like a priest behind confession walls i judge myself" personally really hit me hard. i dont know why. ive always dealt with being judged and judging myself due to it, so it was a really heartbreaking lyric. ever since portals came out, its been my favorite lyric in any song of melanies yet.
I don't know why, but 'Like a priest behind confession walls I judge myself' is such a satisfying lyric to hear. It's not just addictive, it feels so unique and fresh to pop music and Melanie's music in particular. More mature, darker and more poetic. The lyric really gives you the feeling of pain that self-judgement causes. Church is often associated with public policy, so the priest can be a complex symbol. Like she's judging herself through society's expectations. Not every songwriter would add religious references to their lyrics. Melanie did it and did it beautifully💜
‘Like a priest behind confession walls I judge myself’, you confess your sins and express your feelings to a priest- she's feeling guilty about what she does and feels. I'm not sure what you were implying.
the lyrics are so relatable.. being in the void is painful, empty & lonely but it’s truly important for self reflection/self growth. external things/society ruins our soul but at the end of the day we are there to plant healthy seeds into our heart & soul so that we can continue to heal & grow in such a world. the album is dropping at such a right time as i’m transforming during this new era. thank you for letting us grow with you melanie 💚🧩🫀
same for real, i feel i am in the middle of a transformation and i cannot wait for this album to release. i love death and i loved this song and i am so excited
Melanie wrote, produced, and performed this completely by herself. That’s what you call TALENT!! And let’s not forget that this song is a BOP, which makes it all even more impressive🔥
I'm honestly still warming up to Portals, but this song hits so hard. Trying to figure yourself out and break away from the pressure of society does feel like trying to escape a void. I've judged myself so hard my entire life, hated my past selves for their ignorance and letting the flaws win, and i still don't know if i'll see tomorrow some days, but i'll keep trying to get out

This is my favorite song but the part that goes “My fickle insecurities And turn them into beauty” gave me chills it’s my favorite lyric ever love the song Mel
Notice how she has a lisp when saying fickle insecurities to point out that she was insecure about her iconic gap tooth at some point. Idk it feels so expressive.
She was born to be an artist. She just has that special quality. When I first saw her at the voice and the way Adam Levine looked at her, I felt the same as him. She is naturally talented.
I don't know why people keep saying she was better in her crybaby era, her music just gets better and I love this new character she created, it really fits her a lot more.
@@adriandatura thissss I hate how people assume someone is gonna be sad forever and won’t grow. Especially Melanie. I’m glad she’s found happiness love that for her

Some people will just never be happy, those people expect un reasonable expectations of artists as if they're not a person just like them. To them, nothing will ever be good enough, right now it's "oh I miss the old melanie, or I wish she made crybaby music". But if she stayed making crybaby style music those same exact people would say "oh everything melanie makes sounds the same, its getting old, she's not evolving and growing as an artist". I wish they'd just let her be, she's making great music for us and she's happy with what she's doing, it's a win win. If they were real fans they wouldn't want her to continue making music that makes her unhappy and bored just to appease fans. I happen to love what I've heard of portals, and she seems so happy. That's what matters.
this song explains how i see the world, cruel society, everyone judging at all times, feeling unhappy with yourself, it’s a void edit: back here streaming this on loop for a Christmas present for melanie 🩷
I dont think melanie knows how much they mean to us. ive been listening to her since i was five because of my sister and seeing her and their music grow & develop genuinely makes me so happy. they comfort me at hard times & overall mel's my safe place. i love u unconditionally mel. everyone,let's stream the shit out of her new music cause she put her heart into it!!
i like how you used both she and they pronouns, i still need to get used to it and seeing this helps me conceptualize how to use both frequently 😭 and i agree, mel is an inspiration for me too and her music helps me a lot.
Ok but the fact that Melanie herself self produced this is incredible !!! Those drums and that guitar sound is incredible!!!! Portals is almost here !🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️
In the void, in the void In the void, in the void In the void, in the void In the void, in the void In the void Baby, I'm spinning 'round the corner It's tasting kind of lonely and my mind wants to control me Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I got to escape the void There is no other choice, yeah Got to escape the void So strange, I'm trying to find a doorway My eyes are staring at me, and they seem so damn unhappy C-c-c-c-collect my fickle insecurities, and turn them into beauty Alchemize the dark within me-ee Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void
This song hits me so hard because I can relate to it, I have had suicidal thoughts and one of my ways of coping with is is to just lay down while listening to this song and let myself cry. And it makes me so sad that Melanie has gone through these things, and I’m so proud of her for expressing herself through her music, and she’s really helped me overcome things in my past. So what I just want to say is I love you Melanie.

I’m in college and so stuck and lost in everything including a realationship, a house, broken family. This song to me is about being lost in the realm that is this world and society and trying to dig to find yourself again. I love this song it means so much to me

Okay idea, what if she says "Why hate who I was before?" Instead of "I hate who I was before?" I feel like that could be just as likely and might better reflect her growth? 🥺
I always felt some kind of connection with Melanie's songs but this Portals era has that something... like every song she has performed a days ago make my deepest emotions come out and feel so hard and real... After I sing and listen to her music everything feels so peaceful and clean even inside of me... Idk I can't even explain it, it's so magic. I'm so happy for her new project
i’ve been feeling the same way! i went to the listening event and i cried my heart out listening to the songs. she makes music to cleanse and heal the soul
i love her creativity and the fact that she is not afraid of showing it. she is a genius and as someone who's been watching her mvs for years, they really affect me. i even used to be scared by some of her really good mvs. it shows her intelligence and excellent imaginary
Lyrics: In the void, in the void In the void, in the void Baby, I'm spinning 'round the corner It's tasting kind of lonely and my mind wants to control me Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I got to escape the void There is no other choice, yeah Got to escape the void So strange, I'm trying to find a doorway My eyes are staring at me, and they seem so damn unhappy C-c-c-collect my fickle insecurities, and turn them into beauty Alchemize the dark within me-ee Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void
@@Ranasabia420 yes I really love this song, I’m pretty sure it’s about judging yourself or something like that, I love her bc she makes relatable songs 💗💗
void describes self-hatred and anxiety, she is empty, lonely, and unhappy. her mind is a void, which endlessly reminds her of her insecurities and problems. her mind wants to control and overtake her with these bad thoughts, which were placed into her mind by society's toxicity. by "escaping the void" she's changing and escaping her bad thoughts. before she can escape herself, she has to work through her problems/ insecurities. she may have insecurities and have a poor self-image, so she learns to see her insecurities as beautiful and transforms her darkness into positivity. positivity is an acquired mindset. if you see yourself as a beautiful and powerful being, that is what you will be. we are powerful and complex beings with the ability to be anything we put our mind to. your insecurities are beautiful inconveniences that make you unique.
I can't explain how proud I'm of her. I feel like we can all truly tell that she grew a lot as an artist. And this album has been everything that I've ever wanted from her. Every song has been so meaningful and poetic in their own way. And I really hope that she realizes how amazing this is and ignores all the people that are critical for no reason.
@@louieleon2988 I've heard almost all of them when she preformed live. I mean all the videos of her performing live are on UA-cam including snippets of the songs.
People be like "this is the best album of the year I have listened to every song" but they have only listened to two of the songs that have been released lmao.
The Gospel: (I am not a bot, I'm just someone who enjoys spreading the gospel. Much love to you all!) The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over His enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy. Peter says in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.” So Christ died not only to forgive sin, but also that it might die in the lives of His people. ~Quoting John Piper~ ALSO My friend put together a great PowerPoint about the Gospel and Jesus being the prophesied Messiah. I'd like to share if you're interested, just reply and I can send you the link. May Jesus Bless you!
i've been listening to mel since 2016 and i literally grew up with her & her music. it just feels so nice that after all those years i still listen to her music and support her on her journey 💗
That’s literally how I feel with Britney Spears 😭 I feel old but looking back at her music it hits so deeper. Melanie is the same in the sense she makes me 29 year old heart feel something again

I remember whispering some of these words to myself last summer, when I was losing my battle against depression. And here I am now, a winner, living a healthy life and listening to this song These seem to be words that travel from one rotting heart to another, the words that keep us standing on Earth when depression doesn't leave a hope. And the Queen was generous enough to let them out of herself with a wonder of a melody so we could see our inner strength and keep seeking for an escape May God bless Melanie, she is a winner against depression as well, and her heart is as strong as a young oak tree that bends but never breaks ❤ And may God bless you. Do escape the void, it is worth it
sometimes i find myself falling back to the void but at least it’s not worse just like before, hoping to our full recovery ❤❤ hugs to each of you all 🙏🏻
Melanie, your nymph character is adorable, while also having a striking beauty to her. I love how you designed her, and i'm looking forward to more of your songs. they're getting me through tough times in school, and i'm glad i get to grow up in a generation where your music is highly apprecciated and enjoyed, so thank you Mel, for everything.
Melanie, I just want to say how much of a beautiful song this is. Over the past year, i've really been struggling with an ED and depression and this song really shows me how far i've come. thank you so much for being vulnerable and creating a safe for millions of people through your music. Sending love from New Zealand
Thankyou for sharing your story, I'm so sorry for you've been going through an ed and struggling, but proud of you for coming so far, even though you're an internet stranger, I believe in you! stay strong ❤ love from Australia 🇦🇺 Also, I agree by the way, this song is so vulnerable and beautiful yet tragic and heartbreaking, I can definitely relate to it as well
Ya know, after reading this comment, I realized I'm going through the same exact things and the entire song just changed for me. You know a song hits deep when you just start to break down. 🥲
this song means so much to me, i’m so proud that melanie wrote and published it herself, i see myself in this entirely and i’ve never been more glad a song has been released
MELANIE YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN QUEEN! CONSTANTLY RAISING THE BAR HIGH AND DOING IT FLAWLESSLY! YOU'RE A TRUE GEM OF OUR GENERATION AND YOUR ARTISTRY IS JUST UNMATCHED AND INSPIRING. AND THE FACT THAT MOTHER WROTE, PRODUCED AND PERFORMED THIS TRACK ALL BY HERSELF.. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PREACH ♡
she sings,she acts,she writes her own music and lyrics,she gave us new character and new story behind it,only thing i can say ab Melanie is that she is PURE PERFECTION AND WE NEED TO SUPPORT HER AND HER ART AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO YALL STREAM PORTALS SO HARD TO SHOW MELANIE THAT WE LOVE HER!!!🌬🕯🤍💐
As someone who went through major depressive disorder and kept myself cooped up in my room for 4 years this song is my favorite on the album. It speaks to me to my core. I am so glad I am out of that void I was in.
I heard she was going to do a film for this album and I think she even replied about it on someone’s tiktok video plus, portals is a massive success so I’m 100% her record label will push the film to happen
@@user-tv3lb8kc9p its not happening insiders said :( melanie delayed it as atlantic wont fund it at the moment (even tho its her best selling albums), so shes making a mv for every song
Melanie has grown so much as an artist and has such a strong artistic vision with her music. I’ve never felt so mentally connected to music. I’m so ecstatic for this album to be released, thank you for being unapologetic you 💕
The fact that this is the most popular song on the album and still only peaked at like 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 disappoints me, but at the same time, I'm glad to see there are still millions of people listening to Melanie Martinez!

Be safe and keep streaming~~~ 🥺
When I say I'm AMAZED I mean it. I love everything about this song, the emotions expressed, all the feelings we can relate to at some point, it's so real, so deep and yet so enjoyable as a song, even my mum likes it and that's a big deal, she normally likes Hungarian folk music. Melanie's literally just pure talent, I love her with my whole heart.
I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS NEW STYLE MELANIE! as a melanie fan since 2015, this is unusual, but in an AMAZING WAY!! i’ve been getting into grunge/rock music and i would have never expected melanie to make a song close to similar to that. CANT WAIT FOR PORTALS!❤❤❤
@@michael-mn7ok lmao what? Her music is better than ever. She’s actually living up to her dark side in this new style, not just playing dress up… it’s definitely an edgier less mainstream sound so I wouldn’t expect someone with pedestrian tastes to appreciate it as much but it’s 1000% more complex and interesting.
@@michael-mn7ok what are you even talking about? Portals is getting more hype than k-12 and crybaby ever had. You can be mad that it’s not the same as her past projects, but that doesn’t mean she’s falling off. Respect the changes that happen, and don’t fuck with them just because you don’t like it.

idk what people are talking about saying “her new style is weird!”, like spoiler alert, people change. but honestly, mels new style is so unique and the music style is so much different from the crybaby and k-12 era, which really makes her new music very fun to listen to.
@@Creepy_Patience2010 not really, crybaby in my opinion was her peak. honestly melanie didnt really have a terrible downfall like most music artists. i like her new style, but i really loved crybaby.
Plus people act like this is how she looks in her day to day life when she's running errands (not that that's a bad thing. It would be a very out there look for Walmart, but it's her choice at the end of the day). This costuming is supposed to be over the top and make her look like a fantasy creature. It's not supposed to look "normal".
Lyrics : amazing Music : lovely Song : heavenly gorgeous Background wallpaper : so attractive And you are so great MELANIE MARTINEZ 💖💖 You never disappoint us 💖💖💖 Thank you so much for your love 💖💖💖💖

Melanie, I can’t tell you how much your music means to me. Cry Baby helped me deal with difficulties I was dealing with not just in my home life, but in my outside life as well and it helped me get through so many obstacles. K-12 helped me deal with the things that were happening at school and taught me what it means to be comfortable with myself. And I can tell that this album is definitely going to be different than your other albums, but it is a GOOD different. I love this song so much and I know a lot of others do as well. Thank you for helping me through all of those hard times and I am so excited to see what’s next in this new era. Love you Mel ❤ Edit: thx for all the likes
I knew this year was gonna be a good year for transformation. I’ve been spending the past few months exploring myself. Looking at myself from the outside in, and healing from a horrible situation while still in it. I was my only escape and best friend. Now I’m out of it, the same month this album is dropping:). You’ve helped me so much, I realized things about myself and life, that were only solidified by your music. You were my reminder that there’s an outside world, that there’s people like me, like you, that exist. And that the life I wanted was still possible. You’ve been helping me heal, and I’ve basically been listening to your music like it’s my religion. I can’t explain enough how SPOT ON your songs have been when trying to heal my life. And even this song, “why should I hate who I was”, that stuck with me so much. And it’s genuinely something I’ve been reminding myself of, but there’s always a small struggle. Listening to you everyday reminds me to keep up with my progress, your lyrics remind me why I’m healing and why it’s a great decision to stick to. Even with the line where society is injecting you with muck. I’m not lying when I say I discovered that about myself as well. Last year I took 🍄 and realized that it’s possible to be so much happier. That there’s nothing wrong with me for not feeling like I fit In. Bc I stand out. I understand things deeply, and I’m more empathetic than your average person. (There’s nothing wrong w anyone if they aren’t.) As a result I could feel the shell of muck crumbling from around my being. I realized that who I was was a result of others. They left me with emotional reminder of what they put me through, and I just let it build up like gum on a pole. Life is beautiful but so many people aren’t able to appreciate it, because we’re all so angry, sad or stressed. They can hardly see life past their hardships. It makes me cry knowing how happy it’s possible to be, because so many people haven’t felt that since they were children. And other people didn’t even get that much. You’ve inspired me to spread love, to stop being so negative, to realize that everyone has their own minds/lives. I spent so much time around negative people tht I became tht way. I thought it was cool to talk shit and corny to be empathetic. I cared what they thought I thought, my brain was no longer really mine. But I know now that that’s a bitter way of thinking, and I genuinely can’t imagine being that way again. If there’s a positive way to go about something, then do it. It won’t hurt anyone. Even if your efforts aren’t appreciated, you can still relax at the end of each day knowing that you tried your best to make a good impact. I was so scared of being judged that I became the most judgmental, but now I realize that judgmental people’s opinions don’t matter. They’re nothing more than opinions, and I know that I am not doing anything wrong.
@@fosminclorin haha not relying. I only took it a couple times, and it just helped my mind open up a bit more. And that experience along with constant reminders in her music have kept me more or less in that space. I’ve done it only a few times between 2021 and now. And the best way I can describe it is like my brain felt like a giant flower opening up, and after a few times I’m pretty much completely bloomed. And it’s getting easier and easier to not let the world get to me, once I was able to grasp this new perspective (new to me). Not saying that you should just go and start taking things in search of an answer. I found my new path on accident.
2:26 i can't even describe how much i love this part of the song especially when she said "and turn them into beauty" like i can't stop listening that parttt her voice sounds majestic 🤌💖 (remind me pleasee)

This is exactly how I feel about my anxiety. I always feel like Melanie's lyrics are written for me. It's such a special connection, her art speaks to me. Glad to accompany her journey, been here for 8+ years! LOVE MEL 💗💗💗
Hearing the snippet was so euphoric I replayed it once a day so now hearing the entire thing is amazing I knew it'd be my favorite it's to relatable. I appreciate the creation that went into this.

this is such a beautiful song. I love how people can come together and love melanie’s music. She really is very different from other artist. I want so many people to hear her voice, her message🫶🏾.
LYRICS 🥳: In the void, in the void Baby, I'm spinning 'round the corner It's tasting kind of lonely and my mind wants to control me Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I got to escape the void There is no other choice, yeah Got to escape the void So strange, I'm trying to find a doorway My eyes are staring at me, and they seem so damn unhappy C-c-c-collect my fickle insecurities, and turn them into beauty Alchemize the dark within me-ee Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I got to escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loading gun, the void
Loving the singles of this album and having extreme excitement for the whole album. I’m glad she doesn’t have so many effects on her voice in this song like Death (I understand it was meant to sound echoey/distorted) and we can hear her true voice. Melanie is so talented and a quadruple threat. She can sing, dance, act, and write/direct/produce. Not to mention play instruments. This girl is a STAR ⭐️
There’s so many comments so I don’t think many will see this but this is the most relatable song out of the album for me. I used to have insanely bad anxiety when I started secondary school and it felt like I was in a black tiny room all by myself with no doors or windows. The line my eyes are staring at me and they seem so damn unhappy is incredibly relatable because I used to think my anxiety was apart of who I was fully (it’s still there but yk) and I lost so much weight because my anxiety causes me to hate food. I’m doing better now if anyone has read all of this.
I also relate to this song, and I can relate to you too, because I’ve been going through mental and a little bit of verbal abuse in real life since 2020, and I also go through trauma as well, and I’ve been going through all of that almost every day, and because of it, it makes me have negative emotions, but this song describes my feelings, because I feel like my life is hell and I feel like I’m in a dark void, that’s how my life feels like, and this song is comfort for me, I listen to it whenever I feel upset, and I also sing it to myself whenever I am upset, and it’s so comforting whenever I do that, so yeah, you’re not alone, we all go through things in life
the “my fickle insecurities” said in a lisp hinting that her teeth were a big insecurity for her, i LOVE!!! she puts so much thought into her works and ugh i love her so much. had this song on repeat ever since it came out
I didn't put this together. Thank you for helping me enjoy this more
I thought I was the only one who thought that
Genius
I have a lisp too but not a gap so I really loved this little detail in it 😭😭😭
I didn’t connect that at first but you just blew my mind and now Melanie really is the realest queen out here 💜💜👏🏻

I'm spinning ’round the corner
It's tasting kind of lonely
And my mind wants to control me
E-e-e-empty
There's rotten things left in me
Injected by society
No one here but me to judge me
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won’t live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I gotta escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loading gun
The void
Like a priest behind confession walls I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody, like a body that has died, and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I gotta escape the void
There is no other choice, yeah
Gotta escape the void
So strange
I'm tryna find a doorway
My eyes are staring at me
And they seem so damn unhappy
C-c-c-collect
My fickle insecurities
And turn them into beauty
Alchemize the dark within me-ee
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I gotta escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah

@MarieisaniceguyAHH I can’t wait to see what’s next 😊
I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet so I thought I’d point out that the ending of DEATH and the beginning of VOID match up seamlessly! There’s also the sound of a door opening at the end of DEATH and one of the lyrics in VOID mentions “looking for a doorway”, I’m starting to piece together what the narrative might be and I can’t wait for the album’s full release soon to figure it out :)
Sameee
The fact that melanie martinez, is almost giving out a clue/hint almost as we are searching for easter eggs. Ready to be solved ASAP! 😋
ITS TOMORROW
I NOTICED THAT TOO
I noticed that! They are right text to each other in my playlist and I was like "why do they both end in start with train noises?"
VOID
This is the first song I fully produced on my own, also in the portal room. The first thing I put down was that bass guitar top line. It was an exact melody from a voice memo I had recorded a few days prior. The chorus melody and lyric came all at once just from looping the bass line. I put down a simple programmed drum loop that was later replaced/mixed in with live drums by Rhys Hastings. I remember screaming that chorus while crying, it felt like a weight I needed to get off of me. The weight of my anxiety, the weight of my brain, and it perfectly fit the second stage. A void. A dark place where you are left alone with your own thoughts for introspection, in order to find the light within yourself. - Melanie Martinez
The fact that she fully produced this song without any help is amazing.
And this is one of the best she has ever done, I listen to it non-stop
You're so talented!
🤦♂️
@@jkbpwlc ?
I am a metal and a '80s rock guy. So this shocks most people but Melanie Martinez is the only thing that I listen to that's not metal or rock. Melanie holds a special place in my heart solely for the purpose that she's different from other pop artists.
And I cannot stress the fact that I am a guy and any dudes that like Melanie Martinez should not hide it.
EDIT: thx Sooooo much for all the likes, I appreciate all men (and women) that are representing Melanie.
Hell yeah! I’m glad another guy likes Melanie too!
@@thebrokencon9704 Respect bro.
I listen to 80s rock and some pop but marina and Melanie are the only modern music I like
Melanie loved Beatles which means that she loved Rock ganre. I-I thought that you guys would know it, but it's okay!
@💗devin💗 Melanie is everything for me. She never disappointed me! I am glad to meet a person like YOU
"like a priest behind confession walls i judge myself" personally really hit me hard. i dont know why. ive always dealt with being judged and judging myself due to it, so it was a really heartbreaking lyric. ever since portals came out, its been my favorite lyric in any song of melanies yet.
I don't know why, but 'Like a priest behind confession walls I judge myself' is such a satisfying lyric to hear. It's not just addictive, it feels so unique and fresh to pop music and Melanie's music in particular. More mature, darker and more poetic. The lyric really gives you the feeling of pain that self-judgement causes. Church is often associated with public policy, so the priest can be a complex symbol. Like she's judging herself through society's expectations. Not every songwriter would add religious references to their lyrics. Melanie did it and did it beautifully💜
“so strange” is so satisfying to me idk why 😭
‘Like a priest behind confession walls I judge myself’, you confess your sins and express your feelings to a priest- she's feeling guilty about what she does and feels. I'm not sure what you were implying.
Trueeee
Everyone has different ideas of what the song could mean
i agree bc im always so excited to say that line when it plays😋😋
the lyrics are so relatable..
being in the void is painful, empty & lonely but it’s truly important for self reflection/self growth. external things/society ruins our soul but at the end of the day we are there to plant healthy seeds into our heart & soul so that we can continue to heal & grow in such a world.
the album is dropping at such a right time as i’m transforming during this new era. thank you for letting us grow with you melanie 💚🧩🫀
same for real, i feel i am in the middle of a transformation and i cannot wait for this album to release. i love death and i loved this song and i am so excited
Mel never disappoints, I absolutely adore the message behind this song
@@b.bird. yes
Melanie wrote, produced, and performed this completely by herself.
That’s what you call TALENT!! And let’s not forget that this song is a BOP, which makes it all even more impressive🔥
what a bop means?
@@bancayanboza6451 Really catchy, a great song.
I'm honestly still warming up to Portals, but this song hits so hard. Trying to figure yourself out and break away from the pressure of society does feel like trying to escape a void. I've judged myself so hard my entire life, hated my past selves for their ignorance and letting the flaws win, and i still don't know if i'll see tomorrow some days, but i'll keep trying to get out

In the void, in the void

In the void, in the void
In the void
[Verse 1]
Baby, I'm spinning ’round the corner
It's tasting kind of lonely and my mind wants to control me
Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me
Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me
[Pre-Chorus]
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won’t live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell

I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loaded gun, the void
[Post-Chorus]
Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I got to escape the void
There is no other choice, yeah
Got to escape the void
[Verse 2]
So strange, I'm trying to find a doorway
My eyes are staring at me, and they seem so damn unhappy
C-c-c-c-collect my fickle insecurities, and turn them into beauty
Alchemize the dark within me-ee

I want to say one of her TikTok captions said "why hate who I was"
Edit: it does sound like the Last time she says it it's "I"
@@mew2latias was the caption on screen or one of those in the corner, cause sometimes they are auto generated
@@mew2latias "I hate who I was before" fits more with the song since almost all of it is about insecurities and negative thinking
i think it's "loaded gun" instead of "loading gun"
you are an angel❤
This is my favorite song but the part that goes “My fickle insecurities And turn them into beauty” gave me chills it’s my favorite lyric ever love the song Mel
Notice how she has a lisp when saying fickle insecurities to point out that she was insecure about her iconic gap tooth at some point. Idk it feels so expressive.
Her vocals are amazing, and you can tell she's really experimenting the type of music she makes (instruments, vocals, etc)
Did u have the sound off?
It’s an AI voice. If you listen closely it doesn’t sound right.
@@bloodythorns9016 It's called autotune, vocal manipulation, editing, plugins you get the point
She was born to be an artist. She just has that special quality. When I first saw her at the voice and the way Adam Levine looked at her, I felt the same as him. She is naturally talented.
MJ is better
@@aydon2g We don’t compare artists.
@@aydon2g cringe kid that compares artists thinks he’s sigma and likes anime hmm where have I heard that before LMAOOOO💀💀
im sorry, i love her songs but no one is born with natrual talent
@aydon2g566 it's never right to compare people. I don't know who that is, but I'm sure they are both amazing people
I don't know why people keep saying she was better in her crybaby era, her music just gets better and I love this new character she created, it really fits her a lot more.
@@adriandatura thissss I hate how people assume someone is gonna be sad forever and won’t grow. Especially Melanie. I’m glad she’s found happiness love that for her

I can't wait for her name reveal and for tunnel vision to drop
Some people will just never be happy, those people expect un reasonable expectations of artists as if they're not a person just like them. To them, nothing will ever be good enough, right now it's "oh I miss the old melanie, or I wish she made crybaby music". But if she stayed making crybaby style music those same exact people would say "oh everything melanie makes sounds the same, its getting old, she's not evolving and growing as an artist". I wish they'd just let her be, she's making great music for us and she's happy with what she's doing, it's a win win. If they were real fans they wouldn't want her to continue making music that makes her unhappy and bored just to appease fans. I happen to love what I've heard of portals, and she seems so happy. That's what matters.
İ love this era so much ❤
this song explains how i see the world, cruel society, everyone judging at all times, feeling unhappy with yourself, it’s a void edit: back here streaming this on loop for a Christmas present for melanie 🩷
I dont think melanie knows how much they mean to us.
ive been listening to her since i was five because of my sister and seeing her and their music grow & develop genuinely makes me so happy. they comfort me at hard times & overall mel's my safe place.
i love u unconditionally mel. everyone,let's stream the shit out of her new music cause she put her heart into it!!
i like how you used both she and they pronouns, i still need to get used to it and seeing this helps me conceptualize how to use both frequently 😭 and i agree, mel is an inspiration for me too and her music helps me a lot.
Ok but the fact that Melanie herself self produced this is incredible !!! Those drums and that guitar sound is incredible!!!! Portals is almost here !🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️🪷🧚♀️

This song hits me so hard because I can relate to it, I have had suicidal thoughts and one of my ways of coping with is is to just lay down while listening to this song and let myself cry. And it makes me so sad that Melanie has gone through these things, and I’m so proud of her for expressing herself through her music, and she’s really helped me overcome things in my past. So what I just want to say is I love you Melanie.

After I sing and listen to her music everything feels so peaceful and clean even inside of me... Idk I can't even explain it, it's so magic.

Wow I feel like it’s gotten deeper and deeper like her concept is art
@@Ranasabia420 yes I really love this song, I’m pretty sure it’s about judging yourself or something like that, I love her bc she makes relatable songs 💗💗
void describes self-hatred and anxiety, she is empty, lonely, and unhappy. her mind is a void, which endlessly reminds her of her insecurities and problems. her mind wants to control and overtake her with these bad thoughts, which were placed into her mind by society's toxicity. by
"escaping the void" she's changing and escaping her bad thoughts. before she can escape herself, she has to work through her problems/ insecurities. she may have insecurities and have a poor self-image, so she learns to see her insecurities as beautiful and transforms her darkness into positivity. positivity is an acquired mindset. if you see yourself as a beautiful and powerful being, that is what you will be. we are powerful and complex beings with the ability to be anything we put our mind to. your insecurities are beautiful inconveniences that make you unique.
This is a really good description of it
I can't explain how proud I'm of her. I feel like we can all truly tell that she grew a lot as an artist. And this album has been everything that I've ever wanted from her. Every song has been so meaningful and poetic in their own way. And I really hope that she realizes how amazing this is and ignores all the people that are critical for no reason.
Isn’t this only the second song off the album she has released?
@@louieleon2988 I've heard almost all of them when she preformed live. I mean all the videos of her performing live are on UA-cam including snippets of the songs.
People be like "this is the best album of the year I have listened to every song" but they have only listened to two of the songs that have been released lmao.
@@deadilydaji There are tones of leaks of the songs on UA-cam. Not my fault you didn't hear them.
@@FeralDolls sorry some of us want to respect mel 😒
I've been singing this from the top of my lungs for 16 hours. I adored her work since 2016 and I love absolutely everything about this album
The Gospel:
(I am not a bot, I'm just someone who enjoys spreading the gospel. Much love to you all!)
The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over His enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.
Peter says in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.”
So Christ died not only to forgive sin, but also that it might die in the lives of His people.
~Quoting John Piper~

I remember whispering some of these words to myself last summer, when I was losing my battle against depression. And here I am now, a winner, living a healthy life and listening to this song
These seem to be words that travel from one rotting heart to another, the words that keep us standing on Earth when depression doesn't leave a hope. And the Queen was generous enough to let them out of herself with a wonder of a melody so we could see our inner strength and keep seeking for an escape
May God bless Melanie, she is a winner against depression as well, and her heart is as strong as a young oak tree that bends but never breaks ❤
And may God bless you. Do escape the void, it is worth it
that's really strong of u hope I can archive that too one day :)
Damn mines keep coming back and going away it mad annoying 😭 I hope I can beat it like y’all soon
sometimes i find myself falling back to the void but at least it’s not worse just like before, hoping to our full recovery ❤❤ hugs to each of you all 🙏🏻
REALL
so true, i would have never imagined to be the way im now years ago.
Melanie, your nymph character is adorable, while also having a striking beauty to her. I love how you designed her, and i'm looking forward to more of your songs. they're getting me through tough times in school, and i'm glad i get to grow up in a generation where your music is highly apprecciated and enjoyed, so thank you Mel, for everything.
Melanie, I just want to say how much of a beautiful song this is. Over the past year, i've really been struggling with an ED and depression and this song really shows me how far i've come. thank you so much for being vulnerable and creating a safe for millions of people through your music. Sending love from New Zealand
Sending you my love from USA 💞
Thankyou for sharing your story, I'm so sorry for you've been going through an ed and struggling, but proud of you for coming so far, even though you're an internet stranger, I believe in you!
stay strong ❤ love from Australia 🇦🇺
Also, I agree by the way, this song is so vulnerable and beautiful yet tragic and heartbreaking, I can definitely relate to it as well
Ya know, after reading this comment, I realized I'm going through the same exact things and the entire song just changed for me. You know a song hits deep when you just start to break down. 🥲
Finally a comment that is english-
I'm proud of you! Sending love from Italy
this song means so much to me, i’m so proud that melanie wrote and published it herself, i see myself in this entirely and i’ve never been more glad a song has been released
MELANIE YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN QUEEN! CONSTANTLY RAISING THE BAR HIGH AND DOING IT FLAWLESSLY! YOU'RE A TRUE GEM OF OUR GENERATION AND YOUR ARTISTRY IS JUST UNMATCHED AND INSPIRING. AND THE FACT THAT MOTHER WROTE, PRODUCED AND PERFORMED THIS TRACK ALL BY HERSELF.. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PREACH ♡
she sings,she acts,she writes her own music and lyrics,she gave us new character and new story behind it,only thing i can say ab Melanie is that she is PURE PERFECTION AND WE NEED TO SUPPORT HER AND HER ART AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO YALL STREAM PORTALS SO HARD TO SHOW MELANIE THAT WE LOVE HER!!!🌬🕯🤍💐
As someone who went through major depressive disorder and kept myself cooped up in my room for 4 years this song is my favorite on the album. It speaks to me to my core. I am so glad I am out of that void I was in.
I'm so proud of you, too. That's the hardest place someone can be, and you made it. I hope you enjoy the freedom you made :)
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING OMORI REFERENCE?!?!
For me it’s been three but I never told myself I’m depressed just introverted but I definitely have anxiety and this song relates to that so much
did u accidenttally kill ur sister before that 4 years? with a blonde boy?
That's basically my situation now :(
Melanie never dissapoints with her jaw dropping, breathtaking, incredible, and more words I can’t describe how amazing her music is
I really hope she turns this into a movie. Like so desperately want to watch it as a movie
I heard she was going to do a film for this album and I think she even replied about it on someone’s tiktok video plus, portals is a massive success so I’m 100% her record label will push the film to happen
I'd like to see how this ties up with the other series we saw
@@user-tv3lb8kc9p YEESSSSSSSSSSSSS ! ! ! !
@@user-tv3lb8kc9p its not happening insiders said :( melanie delayed it as atlantic wont fund it at the moment (even tho its her best selling albums), so shes making a mv for every song
she said she was so fingers crossed
Alchemizing the darkness with in me and turning it into beauty hits so hard
I’m obsessed with how much effort and detail she puts into her visuals. I love this new era
omg an english comment
Melanie has grown so much as an artist and has such a strong artistic vision with her music. I’ve never felt so mentally connected to music. I’m so ecstatic for this album to be released, thank you for being unapologetic you 💕
Thank you queen for making this masterpiece a second single you’re so real for this
The fact that this is the most popular song on the album and still only peaked at like 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 disappoints me, but at the same time, I'm glad to see there are still millions of people listening to Melanie Martinez!

In the void, in the void, in the void, in the void
[Verse 1]
Baby, I'm spinning 'round a corner
It's tasting kinda lonely
And my mind wants to control me
Ah-ah-ah-empty
There's rotten things left in me
Injected by society
No one here but me to judge me
[Pre-Chorus]
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell

I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices, the void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah

Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines

Got to escape the void
[Verse 2]
So strange, I'm tryna find a doorway
My eyes are staring at me
And they seem so damn unhappy
C-C-C-Collect
My fickle insecurities
And turn them into beauty
Alchemize the dark within me-eee

When I say I'm AMAZED I mean it. I love everything about this song, the emotions expressed, all the feelings we can relate to at some point, it's so real, so deep and yet so enjoyable as a song, even my mum likes it and that's a big deal, she normally likes Hungarian folk music.
Melanie's literally just pure talent, I love her with my whole heart.
OMG FINALLY AN ENGLISH COMMENT
@@surpiseparade FR LOLOLOLL
I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS NEW STYLE MELANIE! as a melanie fan since 2015, this is unusual, but in an AMAZING WAY!! i’ve been getting into grunge/rock music and i would have never expected melanie to make a song close to similar to that. CANT WAIT FOR PORTALS!❤❤❤
It’s new but that won’t stop me, 🕺💃🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗
@@desiredaura3665 validddd
She’s falling off 😢
@@michael-mn7ok lmao what? Her music is better than ever. She’s actually living up to her dark side in this new style, not just playing dress up… it’s definitely an edgier less mainstream sound so I wouldn’t expect someone with pedestrian tastes to appreciate it as much but it’s 1000% more complex and interesting.
@@michael-mn7ok what are you even talking about? Portals is getting more hype than k-12 and crybaby ever had. You can be mad that it’s not the same as her past projects, but that doesn’t mean she’s falling off. Respect the changes that happen, and don’t fuck with them just because you don’t like it.
She's my comfort person, singer, soul, character

This album is a whole metaphysical journey and you are taking us with you along it. I’m literally blessed by this new theme, so spiritual and deep. Love you 🔮❤️
2:30 "and turn them into beauty" THE VOCALS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO ARE SO GOOD BUT THE WAY SHE SAID THAT WAS JUST SO 😣❤️🔥
FRR its probably one of my fav parts of the song
ONGG ITS SO GOOD
FRFR LIKE MY EARS R BLESSED
This is just herself as a creature instead of a human and I personally love all of her albums crybaby, k-12, afterschool and portals equally.

I’m greatful for ppl like you❤
what if it said why hate who i was before?
(in the pre-chorus)
that would put a whole different vibe to this song
(my opinion)
@@fckmylife4093 im pretty sure bc i hear why more than i
@@fckmylife4093 I think I’d cringe is it said that🤣 I do hate who I was before so that’s more relevant to most people
@@fckmylife4093 No it says “I” it was proven. I think that’s what I was told
idk what people are talking about saying “her new style is weird!”, like spoiler alert, people change. but honestly, mels new style is so unique and the music style is so much different from the crybaby and k-12 era, which really makes her new music very fun to listen to.
I personally don't HATE this new style, but all the same I MISS crybaby Melanie... is it wrong to miss crybaby?
@@Creepy_Patience2010 not really, crybaby in my opinion was her peak. honestly melanie didnt really have a terrible downfall like most music artists. i like her new style, but i really loved crybaby.
I love her album but her mask scares me
Plus people act like this is how she looks in her day to day life when she's running errands (not that that's a bad thing. It would be a very out there look for Walmart, but it's her choice at the end of the day). This costuming is supposed to be over the top and make her look like a fantasy creature. It's not supposed to look "normal".

Finally a comment in English!!!!
Let’s not
Melanie, I can’t tell you how much your music means to me. Cry Baby helped me deal with difficulties I was dealing with not just in my home life, but in my outside life as well and it helped me get through so many obstacles. K-12 helped me deal with the things that were happening at school and taught me what it means to be comfortable with myself. And I can tell that this album is definitely going to be different than your other albums, but it is a GOOD different. I love this song so much and I know a lot of others do as well. Thank you for helping me through all of those hard times and I am so excited to see what’s next in this new era. Love you Mel ❤
Edit: thx for all the likes
I’m the exact same with her music! ❤
This sounds like true alternative music I'll listen to this album!
Love Mel's new music, love her new look, I just love this woman so much
I knew this year was gonna be a good year for transformation. I’ve been spending the past few months exploring myself. Looking at myself from the outside in, and healing from a horrible situation while still in it. I was my only escape and best friend. Now I’m out of it, the same month this album is dropping:). You’ve helped me so much, I realized things about myself and life, that were only solidified by your music. You were my reminder that there’s an outside world, that there’s people like me, like you, that exist. And that the life I wanted was still possible. You’ve been helping me heal, and I’ve basically been listening to your music like it’s my religion. I can’t explain enough how SPOT ON your songs have been when trying to heal my life. And even this song, “why should I hate who I was”, that stuck with me so much. And it’s genuinely something I’ve been reminding myself of, but there’s always a small struggle. Listening to you everyday reminds me to keep up with my progress, your lyrics remind me why I’m healing and why it’s a great decision to stick to. Even with the line where society is injecting you with muck. I’m not lying when I say I discovered that about myself as well. Last year I took 🍄 and realized that it’s possible to be so much happier. That there’s nothing wrong with me for not feeling like I fit In. Bc I stand out. I understand things deeply, and I’m more empathetic than your average person. (There’s nothing wrong w anyone if they aren’t.) As a result I could feel the shell of muck crumbling from around my being. I realized that who I was was a result of others. They left me with emotional reminder of what they put me through, and I just let it build up like gum on a pole.
Life is beautiful but so many people aren’t able to appreciate it, because we’re all so angry, sad or stressed. They can hardly see life past their hardships. It makes me cry knowing how happy it’s possible to be, because so many people haven’t felt that since they were children. And other people didn’t even get that much. You’ve inspired me to spread love, to stop being so negative, to realize that everyone has their own minds/lives. I spent so much time around negative people tht I became tht way. I thought it was cool to talk shit and corny to be empathetic. I cared what they thought I thought, my brain was no longer really mine. But I know now that that’s a bitter way of thinking, and I genuinely can’t imagine being that way again. If there’s a positive way to go about something, then do it. It won’t hurt anyone. Even if your efforts aren’t appreciated, you can still relax at the end of each day knowing that you tried your best to make a good impact. I was so scared of being judged that I became the most judgmental, but now I realize that judgmental people’s opinions don’t matter. They’re nothing more than opinions, and I know that I am not doing anything wrong.
Wow
So relying on drugs is the solution? Honestly, I don't have the energy to fight society, so fair enough.
@@fosminclorin haha not relying. I only took it a couple times, and it just helped my mind open up a bit more. And that experience along with constant reminders in her music have kept me more or less in that space. I’ve done it only a few times between 2021 and now. And the best way I can describe it is like my brain felt like a giant flower opening up, and after a few times I’m pretty much completely bloomed. And it’s getting easier and easier to not let the world get to me, once I was able to grasp this new perspective (new to me). Not saying that you should just go and start taking things in search of an answer. I found my new path on accident.
2:26 i can't even describe how much i love this part of the song especially when she said "and turn them into beauty" like i can't stop listening that parttt her voice sounds majestic 🤌💖

This is exactly how I feel about my anxiety. I always feel like Melanie's lyrics are written for me. It's such a special connection, her art speaks to me. Glad to accompany her journey, been here for 8+ years! LOVE MEL 💗💗💗
Anxiety can make you feel like ur dying, mel describes it perfectly, so chilling.......
Hearing the snippet was so euphoric I replayed it once a day so now hearing the entire thing is amazing I knew it'd be my favorite it's to relatable. I appreciate the creation that went into this. I've been a fan since dollhouse and birthing addicts. Mel was my first & only concert I've been to. This album out of them all is honestly my favorite. I love that She's expressing and experimenting with herself
I will always support this.

And moon cycle it’s a catchy song and I love her new style it’s cute
Frrr only 2 days
Melanie has never disappointed with any of her releases. I'm in love
I love this song but melanie should’ve released it on Thursday night for billboard hot 100 😭
oh dont u worry it will get there
i don’t think she cares about the charting position
Honey she don’t give a damn about those music charts she doesn’t even post anything about “death” debuting on the bb100.
It's actually just got Thursday here in Asia.
I know this 100% her choice but somehow I cant help but thinking this is … bad
Maybe that’s why she’s unique
i love that static/ambient sound clip that plays during the verses. adds a whole other dimension/feeling to it.

Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loading gun, the void
❤️

Lyrics 💖💖
Baby, I'm spinning ’round the corner
It's tasting kind of lonely and my mind wants to control me
Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me
Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
Why hate who I was before?
I fear I won’t live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loading gun, the void
Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I got to escape the void
There is no other choice, yeah
Got to escape the void
So strange, I'm trying to find a doorway
My eyes are staring at me, and they seem so damn unhappy
C-c-c-c-collect my fickle insecurities, and turn them into beauty
Alchemize the dark within me-ee
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
Why hate who I was before?
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loading gun, the void
Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loading gun, the void
Thank you thank you thank you ❤

LYRICS 🥳:
In the void, in the void
Baby, I'm spinning 'round the corner
It's tasting kind of lonely and my mind wants to control me
Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me
Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I got to escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loading gun, the void
Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I got to escape the void
There is no other choice, yeah
Got to escape the void

Obrigada, amigo. Você é um amigo ❤️
Man i love Melanie Martinez so much, this is just another level of beautiful. Her new character is just so cool
Loving the singles of this album and having extreme excitement for the whole album. I’m glad she doesn’t have so many effects on her voice in this song like Death (I understand it was meant to sound echoey/distorted) and we can hear her true voice. Melanie is so talented and a quadruple threat. She can sing, dance, act, and write/direct/produce. Not to mention play instruments. This girl is a STAR ⭐️

I completely get it. The void is scary yet healing, I am in my own void right now
There’s so many comments so I don’t think many will see this but this is the most relatable song out of the album for me. I used to have insanely bad anxiety when I started secondary school and it felt like I was in a black tiny room all by myself with no doors or windows. The line my eyes are staring at me and they seem so damn unhappy is incredibly relatable because I used to think my anxiety was apart of who I was fully (it’s still there but yk) and I lost so much weight because my anxiety causes me to hate food. I’m doing better now if anyone has read all of this.
i’m glad you’re doing better!! ❤
@@twinkcentrall thank you so much I am 🫶
I also relate to this song, and I can relate to you too, because I’ve been going through mental and a little bit of verbal abuse in real life since 2020, and I also go through trauma as well, and I’ve been going through all of that almost every day, and because of it, it makes me have negative emotions, but this song describes my feelings, because I feel like my life is hell and I feel like I’m in a dark void, that’s how my life feels like, and this song is comfort for me, I listen to it whenever I feel upset, and I also sing it to myself whenever I am upset, and it’s so comforting whenever I do that, so yeah, you’re not alone, we all go through things in life
this is all so relatable!
I'm glad that you are doing better and I hope you continue to do better with every and every single day ❤ don't let the VOID eat you ❤
