Dollhouse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey girl, open the walls
Play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family
When you walk away is when we really play
You don't hear me when I say
"Mom, please wake up
Dad's with a slut
And your son is smoking cannabis"

[Pre-Chorus]
No one ever listens
This wallpaper glistens
Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen

[Chorus]
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains

[Post-Chorus]
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E, I see things that nobody else sees

[Verse 2]
Hey girl, look at my mom
She's got it going on
Ha, you're blinded by her jewelry
When you turn your back
She pulls out a flask
And forgets his infidelity
Uh oh, she's coming to the attic, plastic
Go back to being plastic

[Pre-Chorus]
No one ever listens
This wallpaper glistens
One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen

[Chorus]
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains

[Post-Chorus]
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E, I see things that nobody else sees

[Breakdown]
Hey girl (Hey girl)
Hey girl, open your walls
Play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family

[Chorus]
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains

[Post-Chorus]
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E, I see things that nobody else sees

This song really helped me through a breakdown. It sucks that everyone's always saying, "Your parents are perfect, " "You're so lucky, " "Think of the kids with abusive parents, " but they don't know them like I do. Sometimes our parents can hurt us so much without even trying. Especially when they shelter you for so long that when they can't anymore, reality hits you like a truck.

"I just want to go home, but home doesn't even feel like home anymore. You ruined it."

-Octavia to Stolas (Helluva boss)

[AtrinaLotfalian]

“I see thing that nobody else sees” hits hard 🔥

[That_MCRnerd]

My life was exactly like this for 5 years. Me and my mom/sisters finally moved out of that situation. Now we are happy and are finally free. Sometimes I go back to this song and it makes me think about it. I’m just so relieved.

[michellesalvatore]

When ur family care about whar people think more than they care about u

[Eggsy]

Without music life would be a mistake ❤️

[mawuvv]

The first ever song by her that I listened to and became one of my favourites to then learn it’s about dysfunctional families and realising why I liked it so much is that I related to my life.

[Shallow_hearted]

2yrs later and still listening to this?
👇🏿

[Angel-gedz]

MY BIGGEST FLEX IS I CAN PLAY THIS WITH HIGH VOLUME INFRONT OF MY FAMILY LOL

[mira-tmxd]

no way this song kinda describes my life. no one thinks im perfect but they think ive got a normal happy wonderful life. they havent seen thru the curtains yet

[Aubreighsedits]

The lines in the lyrics that relate to me:

“Mom please wake up dads with a S**T and ur son is smoking cannabis”



“Put on ur doll faces”


“Everyone thinks that we’re perfect”


“Picture picture smile for the picture pose with ur brother wont u be a good sister”


“I see things that nobody else sees”

[IndiaRosa-]

Smile girl be happy.
Cook
Clean
Wear a dress
Hide your tears
Don't show your emotions
Fix your makeup
Be nice
Be polite
Lie
Be the mom
You asked for it.

CAN'T YOU SEE I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT!
I WAS 9 YEARS OLD.

[landon_river]

“Wear you dress.”
“Throw on your pearls.”
“Sit with the girls.”
“Don’t act like the boys.”
“Be straight.”
“Don’t question who you are.”
“Be like .”

Anyone else feel like they’ve been told this over and over again, even without words?

[maddie_]

i used to love this song because i thought it was about creepy dolls, now i understand the true meaning and i love it even more.

[Itshannahh]

"Everyone thinks that we're perfect, please don't let them look through the curtains"

Damn bro, I really felt that💔

[cloudy]

This song reminds me of social pedagogy where i study about society problems like: selfharm, smoking, drugs, bullying, drinking alcohol and so more... Now were learning about types of families and one type is reminding me of this song. Cuz it's literally same situation in reality like Melanie sings about it.

[fandxmiee]

"Hey girl, open the walls"
"Play with your dolls"
"We'll be a perfect family"
"When you walk away is when we really play"

[js]

"Have children."
"Get married."
"You just need to find someone you love. You'll change your mind when you're older."
"Be the rolemodel."
"Be the older sibling. Be responsible."
"Cook, clean, you're the girl, after all."

[gottalove.kaylee]

This song described my childhood for real, i have always loved it and will continue to love it.
