LYRICS

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
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
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 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

"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💕

[wherearetheavacados]

Notice how the flowers bloom and then shrink, disappear. But they grow back, and the cycle repeats. Like the cycle of death/life.

[forest_has_entered_the_chat]

YES YES YES IM SO EXCITED TO LISTEN PROPERLY

[aaronmckinneyart]

It makes my heart warm to see how many languages are commenting that shows how iconic she is everywhere

[moonlight-kbut]

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.

[ipurpleyou_jin]

For those who follow Mel from the beginning, it's amazing to see her evolution

[chaoticauraa]

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

[HystericOfficial]

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 much for all the likes, I appreciate all men (and women) that are representing Melanie.

[burossamu]

"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.

[BabooshkaGalaxy]

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💜

[blueside]

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 💚🧩🫀

[piotrkatan]

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🔥

[SunflowerAspenPlays]

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 <3

[Verse 1]
Baby, I'm spinning ’round the corner

Ah-ah-ah-empty, there's rotten things left in me
Injected by society, no one here but me to judge me

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

Loved her Cry Baby aesthetics, and they will always be iconic
But it feels so damn good hearing her doing a new style like this omg
