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

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

For those who follow Mel from the beginning, it's amazing to see her evolution ❤️🏠-->🍼-->🌧🧸🍰🚬🔥-->🚐🐺🍦🍭🍪-->🧼🛁🫧-->🚲🩹-->🎡🎠-->🥣🍭🔤🔫-->💉✂️-->🔪🛏👁🫙🍩-->🚍📚🛝💊🧪🍊🎂🏊🏻‍♀️🏢🧯-->🐰🍩🍽🪓🩸-->🐰🐱🎀💌-->🍄🪷🌱✨️🕳🧜🏼‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧝🏻‍♀️🕷🕸🪦👻🌳🕯🧚🏼‍♀️

"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💕

AAAAAA YES YES YES IM SO EXCITED TO LISTEN PROPERLY

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.

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

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE VOID WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

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'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

"VOID" is now eligibile for GOLD in the US for selling 500K units in the country! It's also Melanie's fastest song of her career to reach the mark for gold eligibility! Congratulations Melanie 📀🧚🏼‍♀️

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.

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 :)

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

this song explains how i see the world, cruel society, everyone judging at all times, feeling unhappy with yourself, it’s a void

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

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 💚🧩🫀

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.

"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.

ever since I listened to dollhouse when I was a kid I have been gravitated towards melanie, to me she's the definition of an artist, she inspires me so much and truly no one else is doing it like melanie is in her genre, the amount of creativity and the fact that all three albums stand on thier own yet link together at the same time will always amaze me 🤍🕯

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

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.

Melanie, i don't think you'll see this, but you've helped me get through a lot of things, like anxiety and depression. this song is beautiful. not even words can describe how much i love you. you've worked your ass off just to entertain us with actual good music with meanings that really are serious, and need to be taken seriously. everytime i feel down i listen to you, and immediately it brightens up my mood. i've been following you for a while, and seeing you evolve as people do, i find amazing. and i can see you're happy with who you are now and i won't judge you for that, like people have been doing who claim themselves as “real fans”. change is good and the change you made is more than just good. you're a really unique artist and it makes you special. you deserve the spotlight, Mel. I LOVE YOU!! 💕🤍

lyrics

I always have this feeling of emptiness, it's like a nightmare and I judge myself for the way I think, the way I look, etc., this makes me feel like I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Ok this song i stand now

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.

Alchemizing the darkness with in me and turning it into beauty hits so hard

I went to an adult prom (I’m 50) and my friends daughter (20?) and I just started singing this together after discussing music. It was awesome! Music really connects people! And I FELT COOL AGAIN! I was cool! 😂❤🎉

Melanie never dissapoints with her jaw dropping, breathtaking, incredible, and more words I can’t describe how amazing her music is

STREAM VOID TODAY GUYS (24 DEC) AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MELANIE! SHE DESERVES THE BEST💞💞💞

STREAM VOID ON CHRISTMAS EVE

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💜

I love this song but melanie should’ve released it on Thursday night for billboard hot 100 😭

STREAM PORTALS RN, VOID MV TODAY!❤🎉

I feel like I can relate to the song "VOID" because I experience anxiety over people in public, I hate who I am IRL because of how I'm seen as "perfect" and "pretty" of my clothes and things my relatives think about me don't reflect which person I want to be. I just want to feel confident by being myself. This song is amazing Mel and you do good with meanings that help inspire people. I love you 💖

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

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!!!🌬🕯🤍💐

Girl I love the vibe you keep doing you

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

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

This is one of her best songs ever made. PERIODT

Heard this on the radio and made my dad blast it. Best car ride of my life.

Love Mel's new music, love her new look, I just love this woman so much

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 💗

Her vocals are amazing, and you can tell she's really experimenting the type of music she makes (instruments, vocals, etc)

The lyrics to this song are reaching the darkest depths of my soul like no other. What an amazing comeback, I love the symbolism behind this era. Thank you for inspiring us to break through the cocoon and live life anew. Transformation is not a pain free process, but when you're reaching for the butterfly stage the feeling is incomparable. If you're reading this, just know... You're closer than you think. 🦋

People should stop making fun of her she can be what she wants

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!❤❤❤

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

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

MERRY CHRISTMAST MELANIE

LET’S SING TOGETHER❤ 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 [Chorus] 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 [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 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 [Chorus] 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 [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 [Chorus] 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 ❤❤❤

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 💕

I saw her in north Carolina and I absolutely loved it!!! She is so incredible! WE LOVE YOU MEL!!!

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

VOID MUSIC VIDEO IS OUTTT NEEOOOWWWW

I really hope she turns this into a movie. Like so desperately want to watch it as a movie

My girlfriend randomly played this song in the car and I fucking love it.

Literally the best song I’ve ever heard your so GOOD at making songs I love your music :)

Almost a year of VOID 🧚🏼‍♀️💗

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.

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.

it’s been 7 months already?!?

Lyrics ٩( ᐛ )و: [Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [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 [Chorus] I gotta escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn off 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 gotta escape the void There is no other choice, yeah Gotta 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-ee (Ah) [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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Chorus] 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 loaded gun The void Lyrics by: Genius

I’m obsessed with how much effort and detail she puts into her visuals. I love this new era

Her creativity in her music is just so amazing! 😩❤️❤️
