lyrics:
Follow the tunnel into the portal
Lay all your burdens to rest
Drink from the fountain, death's holy water
Watch as you're put to the test

I make them panic, it's satanic
How I bend my body
Yeah, you can look, but you can't touch
I'm not just anybody
Caught in a haze and hypnotized
And you're too thirsty
Open your view and you will find, stop searching
Eyes on the prize, thought the cherry would be
Better than the pie, you like that, like that, that, like that
That's your demise, yeah
You hold me like you're rushing to my thighs
Too fast, too fast, fast, too fast

But your focus is empty
Tunnel vision, then dead me
Honeysuckle and fresh meat
But I'm more than that, more than that
Playing house to distract me
But you're no good at acting
Obvious what you're after
And I'm more than that, more than that
And I'm more than that, more than that

They always hustle for the pussy
So they'll never get it
I make them tumble down the hill
They climbed, I don't regret it
I saw that trick fall out your sleeve
And I'm so certain
You hum a tune I don't believe
And it ain't workin'
Eyes on the prize, thought the cherry would be
Better than the pie, you like that, like that, that, like that
That's your demise, yeah
You hold me like you're rushing to my thighs
Too fast, too fast, fast, too fast

But your focus is empty
Tunnel vision, then dead me
Honeysuckle and fresh meat
But I'm more than that, more than that
Playing house to distract me
But you're no good at acting
Obvious what you're after
And I'm more than that, more than that
And I'm more than that, more than that

Crossing my heart, I'd rather die (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Than be the needle in your eye (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Show me how far obsession goes (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Could've been more, now we'll never know

I know this song got leaked around a year ago but this is my first time listening to it because I know Mel didn't want us to hear it yet but for the people that have listened to it before and were excited when it was getting released, I can see why you guys were excited this song is a masterpiece.

[TheRealZubinInc.]

She went from crying over the boys to crushing their spines.

*I love it.*

[icecreamdepression]

"Thought the cherry would be better than the pie." This feels like healing from Cry Baby. It wasn't her fault and she is taking her power back in this album. Gives me chills <3

LYRICS

Follow the tunnel into the portal
Lay all your burdens to rest
Drink from the fountain, death's holy water
Watch as you're put to the test

I make them panic, it's satanic
How I bend my body
Yeah, you can look, but you can't touch
I'm not just anybody
Caught in a haze and hypnotized
And you're too thirsty
Open your view and you will find, stop searching

Eyes on the prize, thought the cherry would be
Better than the pie, you like that, like that, that, like that
That's your demise, yeah
You hold me like you're rushing to my thighs
Too fast, too fast, fast, too fast

But your focus is empty
Tunnel vision, then dead me
Honeysuckle and fresh meat
But I'm more than that, more than that
Playing house to distract me
But you're no good at acting
Obvious what you're after
And I'm more than that, more than that
And I'm more than that, more than that

They always hustle for the pussy
So they'll never get it
I make them tumble down the hill
They climbed, I don't regret it
I saw that trick fall out your sleeve
And I'm so certain
You hum a tune I don't believe
And it ain't workin'

Eyes on the prize, thought the cherry would be
Better than the pie, you like that, like that, that, like that
That's your demise, yeah
You hold me like you're rushing to my thighs
Too fast, too fast, fast, too fast

But your focus is empty
Tunnel vision, then dead me
Honeysuckle and fresh meat
But I'm more than that, more than that
Playing house to distract me
But you're no good at acting
Obvious what you're after
And I'm more than that, more than that
And I'm more than that, more than that

Crossing my heart, I'd rather die (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Than be the needle in your eye (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Show me how far obsession goes (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Could've been more, now we'll never know

I cannot stress enough of how much I love Mel’s songs 😭💗

I think TUNNEL VISION represents the way women are viewed. Melanie sings about how women are sexualized, also singing about how she won’t let herself be used for sex. Melanie believes that if you’re in a relationship with someone, they should genuinely like you in every way. She expresses that shes fine with having sex, but not if shes only being used for sex.

[CloudAuraAngel]

The way Melanie saved my life. Her music empowers me and I’m so happy to be a mel fan for 10 years now.

[AN_ARTIC_WOLFS_SPIRIT]

THE ALBUM IS OFFICIALLY OUT YALL MELANIE WE LOVE YOU, IVE BEEN THERE SINCE DAY ONE U HELPED ME THRU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU

[ivebenwong]

3:16 is probably the part i think about the most in this song. something about how this feels so dramatic. it feels as if you"re falling through a broken window in slow motion and seeing the glass shards flying past you everywhere.
It feels so satisfying

[defnotriileyc]

i just want to give melanie a huge hug for everything she’s gone through, especially all of the hate from changing. i don’t care if she’s famous, i just want her to feel loved :(

[softboinard]

the lyrics, the melody, and the BEAT is out of this world.

[yuhhinnamornin]

I'm so glad I don't listen to leaks because it's so much more rewarding or better in a sense to hear it from Melanie herself. It's so much better to wait and be patient. To hear it when it's actually meant to touch your ears. Every song is great Melanie, you did a gorgeous job on this album. Thank you for your music. 💌❤

[JayKiwx]

I keep coming back to this one, it's so catchy and the beat in so unique. Mel is INSANE

[xzeroart]

This song literally brings me back from the dead.

[Luhvlaraa]

This song is similar to The Contortionist but Melanie is saying to know your self-worth and empowerment. This song states how someone is confident in themselves and refuses to be objectified for someone else’s pleasure. The lyrics also suggest that you shouldn’t settle for anything less than you deserve. Melanie is such a genius with these meanings 💗🕯️🫶🏼

[Trippy_pay]

am i hearing a lil slowed down sample from “the bakery” in here??? melanie never disappoints! i’m also gonna need the entire album to be injected into my veins bc listening isn’t enough 😩💗

TUNNEL VISION
Wrote this song while in Hawaii in February 2021 with Kinetics & One Love. We were surrounded by coqui frogs singing to us, the sound of rain hitting the roof, and pure connection. I wanted to make a song to describe the stage of moving through a tunnel of familiar hymns and imagery to ease the transition into the other side while also writing something with multiple meaning that people can relate to in a more earthly way. This song was leaked through a drop box hack the same year, and it took everything within me to not trash it. I couldn't rewrite a better tunnel song so it stayed.

[Poisonedwlove]

THE LAST PART 🛐🛐🛐🛐
and I totally hate the fact that people think shes satanic because of the part "I make them panic, its satanic how I bend my body"
they just dont search the meaning of the song and judge like they're experts
I totally love melanie and she deserves my respect to her
💗
