DEATH Lyrics
[Intro]
Death is life is death is life is death is life is
[Verse 1]
They're carvin' my name in the grave again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died, but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
Lightin' all your candles to draw me in
Sayin' all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothin', so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plane
The other side, I'm not far
[Pre-Chorus]
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it
You're always on my mind, I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carryin' the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design
I'll be meetin' you here every time
[Chorus]
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the (I'm back)
[Post-Chorus]
(I'm back)
(I'm back)
(Death, death, death)
(I'm back)
(Death, death)
(I'm back)

[Verse 2]
They're sayin' my name in their prayers again
I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screamin' and pleadin', this separation ends
Doin' all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burnin' all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong
[Pre-Chorus]
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it
You're always on my mind, I cannot help it
I don't wanna be carryin' the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design
I'll be meetin' you here every time
[Chorus]
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death)
I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead
[Bridge]
Please don't ever worry
(Back from the dead, back from the dead)
(I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
I know it's morbid
(I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
But we all die one day
(I'm back from the dead, back from the dead)
[Chorus]
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)

was originally teased as a 12 -second snippet released exclusively to Spotify announcing the return of Melanie Martinez, after she began her musical hiatus after releasing her sophomore album
K-12". The song was released on March 17th, 2023. It was produced by CJ Baran, who also produced songs such as
Pity Party.
After an hour of the snippet being up on Spotify, Melanie posted a snippet of the intro on Instagram.
by Melanie Martinez is a powerful metaphor for the human experience of life, death, and rebirth. It is a haunting and introspective exploration of death and the afterlife. Melanie sings about a spirit who has returned from the dead and is struggling to connect with the living. Despite the efforts of those left behind to draw the spirit back in, the barriers are too strong to overcome. The slow, sultry guitar-based verses capture the introspective nature of the spirit
s struggle to connect with the living, while the explosive, full rock chorus represents the spirit
s intense desire to make its presence felt. The chorus
Back from the Dead
emphasizes the theme of resurrection, which encourages listeners to view death as a natural part of the larger cycle of life, and the idea that death is not the end. In the intro
death is life, and life is death
is repeated, because death is a constant loop. We are all born and then we all die.
The pre-chorus reflects a spirit
s longing to be close to those they left behind and the weight of carrying the burden of death, while the personification of death itself as having given the spirit closure suggests that death is not something to fear but rather a necessary part of the process.
The outro,
Please, don
t ever worry, I know it
s morbid, but we all die one day,
brings the song to a hopeful conclusion. Death is inevitable, but the spirit has returned to remind us that death is not the end and that there is comfort in the knowledge that we will be reunited with our loved ones in the afterlife.
The song is a poignant meditation on mortality, the afterlife, and the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Its powerful lyrics and haunting melodies create a beautiful and thought-provoking piece of music that encourages listeners to contemplate the nature of their existence and embrace the idea that death is not the end.

Ask a question *
What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer
One day, I sat in the portal room alone and started singing melodies. I heard a spirit with a completely different tone than mine repeat a melody I had sung out loud in the silence and it sent a chill down my body. I was really scared at first, then continued on, using that moment as confirmation from the other side. I laid down the chords; I added a simple drum loop in the chorus. That was later replaced by production from my favourite collaborator CJ Baran, as well as live drums from Ilan Rubin of Nine Inch Nails, who also put drums down for a couple of other songs.

How did the song perform commercially?
Genius Answer
During the tracking week ending April 1, 2023, the song debuted at #95 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song marks Martinez' first single from an album of original music to appear on the Hot 100 chart.

[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]
I'm spinnin
'round the corner
It's tasting kinda lonely
And my mind wants to control me
E-e-e-empty
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 down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holdin' a loaded 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
[Verse 2]
So strange
I'm tryna find a doorway
My eyes are starin' 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)

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer
] is very special to me because it is the first song I fully produced on my own.
has many layered meanings for me aside from it being generally about my anxiety, my tendency to overthink, and being overly critical of myself. It is also the second stage of the afterlife that I found was the most commonly described experience in hypnotherapy. It is about finding yourself in a dark place that feels like an endless abyss of self-criticism. There is not God, nor man there are able to judge you you are left alone with your harshest critic, yourself, and the only way out is to find The light within.
via TikTok
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 bassline. I put down a simple programmed drum loop that was later replaced and mixed in with live drums by Rhys Hastings.

EVIL Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You called the other day, I stayed away
I left your shit on read, four times today
And it felt like bliss, used to miss your kiss
Now I'm hop-skip jumpin' over narcissists
Throwing all your stuff into the abyss
Now the role is reversed and told you I'ma switch
How you like my spit?
That's for all the pits, that you left me in
See, the horns on my head they're from goddesses
Goddesses, on god
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I never knew what it meant
What it meant to be content with you
Everything I expressed, I professed
ver quite made it through
Said it's all in my h
ad, all in my head
Whenever I spoke my truth
No, I won't defend you to all my friends
This time, I refuse
[Chorus]
If you bite my hand again
I will never feed you, you can call me evil
Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend
I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited
Took me way too long to put this to bed
Lovin' you was lethal, guess that makes me evil, evil
[Post-Chorus]
Evil, evil, evil
[Verse 2]
Remember when you smiled right to my face?
As all my little tears of oxalate
They made a shape, revealed a snake
Now I'm stop-drop rollin' over all your jokes
Every time you tell a lie, I'm prayin' that you choke
Should've listened to the signs and the horoscopes
Hope you never cope, hope you slip on soap
Crack your head like an egg, wanna see the yolk
You were such a hoax

The song is about Melanie realizing the toxicity in a relationship of her past, and, how she is proud of leaving them.
has an instrumental that consists of a light-pop fused with synth rock elements
similar to the rest of the tracks on PORTALS.

Genius Answer
My favourite of the conflict songs. It flowed. It was a mental turning point, where I was finally able to articulate perfectly what I had dealt with in my last relationship. I wanted the lyrics to be the most savage
every time I wrote something, I was like,
No, it
s not mean enough.
s about dealing with a narcissist who ironically calls you evil because you
re able to see through them. I spent the entire day blowing out my vocals recording it.

WOMB Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah, ooh
Ah, ooh
[Verse 1]
A seed in mother and I chose that space for me
Little does she know it's free, ooh, yeah
I'm undercover, as they wait for joy, I cry
On a mission, learn and die, ooh, yeah
And I know my brother, he'll make the journey later on
Conversations in the cosmos, yeah
And it's all a game now, but once I'm in the world, it's lost
Memories gone to evolve, ooh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Mergin' cells and flesh
I'm baby-building all my insides right to see the future
Right before my eyes, I know
What's comin', what's comin'
[Chorus]
In the womb, get me out now, safe and I'm sound
Cut the cord, I'm comin'
Out the blue, belly water too, hot and cold
Through with it, oh, now she's birthin'
Feelin' alive the closer that I get to my life
I'm pushin' out the center, the core
I'm swimmin' through the flower no more, no more
[Verse 2]
All of the planning, yet I still feel unprepared
Kickin', screamin' 'cause I'm scared, ooh, yeah
And I know she suffers contractions of hell and death
Eyes are bloody, screamin' out, ooh, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Mergin' spirit, mind, and body
Buildin' all my insides right to see the future
Right before my eyes, I know
What's comin', what's comin'

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
WOMB is the final track of PORTALS.
Its position on the album is important; the album begins with DEATH and ends with the place that all living beings come from, the uterus, highlighting the never ending cycle of life, which is also the main theme of the album.
It is also a direct reference to K-12, the movie. In one of the scenes, Crybaby says
You start in the womb and you end in the tomb
The track is rumored to have been scrapped from her fourth extended play
After School
due to similarities to producer Blake Slatkin
s prod, and hoarder Skyupsahls placement of the track in his vault.

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer
I knew I wanted the album to end on the title
. This was one of the earliest songs, written in 2020. I had a session one day with Omer Fedi, and he started playing these guitar chords that were so beautiful, I asked him to play it on loop while I stared at the corner of the room, quickly writing lyrics. CJ and I had Rhys come in and record live drums around two years later to complete it. This song is written from the perspective of entering a new lifetime
the nerves and excitement that arises when you
re about to let your human experience on earth move your progression forward.

NYMPHOLOGY Lyrics
[Part 1: NYMPHOLOGY]
[Verse 1]
Call me your nymph
Praise me for martyr, praise me for sin
Call me your muse
A sprite or an elf you cry to then use
[Pre-Chorus]
I will not suffer, ah-ah
Cry under covers, ah-ah
I'm not your mother, ah-ah
[Chorus]
It's nymphology, not psychology
Be the manic pixie dream girl that you fucking ought to be
Damaged oddity bought by Sotheby's
Auctioned to a selfish man who thinks that he's the prophecy
[Post-Chorus]
You can't even spell but you're an "expert" in nymphology
N-Y-M-P-H-O-L-O-G-Y, that's nymphology
[Verse 2]
I'm not fiction, I'm not fae
I won't lick your wounds today
But I'll throw you in the ring
Gift you with my suffering
I'm not crazy, I'm not wild
You're just stupid, little child
Get your image off my back
I'll give you a heart attack
[Pre-Chorus]
I will not suffer, ah-ah
Cry under covers, ah-ah
I'm not your mother, ah-ah

You can't even spell but you're an "expert" in nymphology
N-Y-M-P-H-O-L-O-G-Y, that's nymphology
[Bridge]
Don't treat me that way, yeah
You're actin' like a wannabe
I won't be ashamed, yeah
For lovin' you so honestly
You're in a spell and it worked
And I'm returnin' the hurt
I'm kicking your ass out
Flutter my wings while I pout
Push your penis into your mouth
I'll make you choke on your doubt
Cut you off, watch you die
Just a fairy with a knife
[Chorus]
It's nymphology, not psychology
Be the manic pixie dream girl that you fucking ought to be
Damaged oddity bought by Sotheby's
Auctioned to a selfish man who thinks that he's the prophecy
[Post-Chorus]
Call me your nymph
You can't even spell but you're an "expert" in nymphology
Call me your muse
N-Y-M-P-H-O-L-O-G-Y, that's nymphology
[Part 2: AMULET]
[Verse]
Diamonds and rubies, the star in all the movies
Wears me out, big pockets
I am her favorite locket, keeps them droolin'
The semi-precious stones ain't as cold and they're curious
Where did I get refined, get my cuts, and my polishes?
I am too many karats for your budget, ask the jeweler
Your boyfriend tried me on, wore me out, made him cooler
Like Moldavite or Emeralds from Colombian Andes
It will be the brightest, the brightest green you've ever seen
Ancient and it's protective, an expensive rarity
So rare, it is offensive, I think you will agree

NYMPHOLOGY,
Melanie boasts her identity as a nymph, which is a divine female spirit from ancient Greek mythology. As a nymph, Melanie rejects being objectified and instead demands respect. The track also claims its spot as the eleventh track in her third studio album PORTALS.
On March 31, 2023, Melanie did a track by track explaination on her Instagram Stories, where she explained how the song
s concept came about:
Wrote this song with CJ and Nick Long. It was a really fun session. We made a bunch of different vibes and this one stuck out to us the most. I wanted it to be bratty and a commentary piece on the box a lot of men put femme presenting people in when they call us names like
manic pixie dream girl.
Being forced to play the role of mom and healer, while they gaslight you and call you crazy the minute you communicate how you feel. And the ending interlude of this song is actually called
Amulet.
My partner Verde was cleaning out his computer and an instrumental randomly started playing and my ears perked up. It was a track he had produced years ago that was just sitting there collecting digital dust. I immediately wrote over it, but writing a full song for it was difficult. I loved it so much and had no idea what to do with it. One day in the studio I randomly was like hmm maybe
Amulet
can be an interlude after a song, and as fate had it the very the last note of
NYMPHOLOGY
is the very first note of
Amulet.
A perfect puzzle piece.
On March 18, 2023, the song was first teased during Melanie
s set on Lollapalooza Argentina, as she sang the song
s outro prior

MOON CYCLE Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Why you always act so serious?"
I said, "Baby boy, you know I'm on my period," yuh
He bit the cherry down, he
s delirious
Seein' red figures in his mirrors and
Actin' like a real tough, furious
Blood swimming, turn him amphibious
He says he doesn
t care, that he's into this
It happens every time a new season hits
[Chorus]
Skin ready for my heavy daily creme
I keep it handy, womb shedding
Any lessons, making room for blessings
Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate
It's so scary how my aura got him howling at my moon cycle, baby
[Verse 2]
Now he kissin' on the ground that I walk on
Tryna get another taste, but I'm all cramped up
Pain lik
a blade on the front lawn
But I don't give a fuck 'caus
I'm so strong
t gotta act I
m Ethereous
I could win a fight on my period
Matter of fact, right now, I could build a pyramid
You messin' with my cycle, that is dangerous
[Chorus]
Skin ready for my heavy daily creme
I keep it handy, womb shedding
Any lessons, making room for blessings
Juice melting like raspberry, pomegranate
s so scary how my aura got him howling at my moon cycle, baby
[Outro]

MOON CYCLE
is a song by singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez. It is featured on her third album, PORTALS, as the tenth track.
MOON CYCLE
was firstly released as a snippet, and was soon performed on March 18, 2022. It released alongside the album on March 31, 2023.
MOON CYCLE
deals with the stereotypes of women during their menstruation. Popular media portrays women to be weak on their menstruation, but Melanie proves them otherwise. The lyrics
Why you always act so serious?/I said, 'Baby boy, you know I
m on my period,
could be in reference to her ex-boyfriend
s song
revival
, where he makes stereotypical and misogynistic about women on their periods.

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer
I wrote this song in the portal room alone over a guitar loop by Pearl Lion. On each of my albums, I like to include at least one
song about something many people deal with, but no one talks about in music: I wanted to write a fun, light-hearted song about being a person who experiences menstruation, how blood represents vitality and life. I wanted the chorus to be pretty and to use analogies for bleeding that were sweet. The rumbling sounds that lead into the song are my actual period cramps, recorded on my phone. With the conflict of patriarchal society brainwashing straight cis men to believe they should have any kind of say over other people
s bodies, I wanted to make the song extra uncomfy for them by going on to describe a man who lives for period sex.

BATTLE OF THE LARYNX Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Falling asleep by the arcade
Liquor it jumps off your tongue
You used all your words for a quick game
Blew it all before you won
I speak in cursive, I'm poignant, assertive
There's musical chairs in my teeth
Poke me to battle, I'll jump on the saddle
I'll smile as you fall to your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor
[Chorus]
How stupid, selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
I'll wreck you if you chase me
But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
[Verse 2]
Call all your guys in the dive bar
They'll give you the validation
Your daddy could never bestow you
While bloody, they'll tell you you've won
[Pre-Chorus]
And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor
[Chorus]
How stupid, selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
I'll wreck you if you chase me
But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight

Genius Answer
This was the last song that was written and added to the album. I wrote this one to be about two different conflict styles: one person who yells a bunch of nothing really loudly to try and intimidate, and the other who can calmly and concisely use their words and wit to prove their point.

THE CONTORTIONIST Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twisted all my limbs for you
Two of them in knots, and two of them in loops
Ribbons tied around like a noose
Wonder if I'll ever get it loose
I don't wanna bruise for you
Holding back my words until my face is blue (Huh)
I don't really care about your crew
You can tell 'em what you wanted to
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bones are crushing, bones are crushing) Pushin' me
(Body's touching, body's touching) Lovin' me
(Blood is pumping, blood is pumping) Pullin' me
(Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing) Fuckin' me
(Bones are crushing, bones are crushing) Crushin' me
(Body's touching, body's touching) Touchin' me
[Chorus]
I'm done, I'm done
Done doing backbends
I break and I snap, it's no fun, no fun
Pushed myself into a box while you held out a gun
I'm done, uh-ah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm done, I'm done, uh-ah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
[Verse 2]
Twistin' all my bones like screws
Stretchin' my self-worth, just like you usually do
Caught you like the cold or a flu (Achoo)
Praying that I'll someday be immune
Got me like a bad tattoo (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Always under skin, even when it gets removed (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Never got a chance to undo (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Positions that you forced my way into (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bones are crushing, bones are crushing) Pushin' me
(Body's touching, body's touching) Lovin' me
(Blood is pumping, blood is pumping) Pullin' me
(Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing) Fuckin' me

SPIDER WEB Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I move like a moth or a butterfly
Craving a change in the wind
I swirl by all the insects and all the flies
Watching the cycle they're in
[Pre-Chorus]
Better off dead than wastin' my hours
Flying where I shouldn't be
Flexing like pricks with their stolen power
They're just who the spider will eat
[Chorus]
Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no on
can leave once th
y merge
Oh, no one can leave once they merge
[Verse 2]
I'm hiding myself from the enemy
I wish to not be perceived
Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility
I'm feeling too scared to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Better off dead than stuck in a maze
The center may seem like a gift
Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life
And you'll wish that you never did
[Chorus]
Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs
To build a web that'll spread through the world
Feeding off our highs and lows
And curious to see us struggle
No one can leave once they merge

s chokehold on society. I wrote this one on my guitar in the portal room, recorded a voice memo of it and sent it to CJ. He created an incredible instrumental track for it that same day and even created the perfect drop using his own mouth sounds that gave it that extra spidery feel.

LIGHT SHOWER Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You are the light, I've been searchin' for forever
Feels like, man, I've really never felt the rain
Buried in the desert, didn't think I'd push through the dirt
You just cleansed me like a waterfall, you came
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm screamin' like a kettle on a stove
You cranked the heat up, I was cold
My past grew mold around my heart
And all my anger, sadness, regret, disappeared, it's madness
I'm not used to all this wat
r, love, it's true
[Chorus]
But you make m
want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're the shower of light I devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me
[Verse 2]
I was surprised to see heaven in your eyes
I never once was treated right, you're what I'm missing in my life
As bright as the sun, give me your vitamin D
Let's run into another dimension
You make me feel like I'm on drugs
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm screamin' like a kettle on a stove
You crank the heat up, I was cold
My past grew mold around my heart
And all my anger, sadness, regret disappeared, it's madness
I'm not used to all this water, love, it's true
[Chorus]
But you make me want to
Plan out my last days on earth, eating you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The tips of your teeth fit perfect in me
You're the shower of light I devour any day of the week
Baby, cleanse me

Genius Answer
There is a place in the afterlife people under hypnosis describe as a soul cleansing, a place where gem-coloured rays of light shine through every inch of your soul, cleansing your spirit of the trauma it had experienced during your last lifetime. I remember reading about this sitting on the roof of my garage. A few weeks later I sat in my bathtub with my guitar and stayed up all night writing a love song about this light. It was also the very first song I ever wrote for this album.

E Lyrics
[Refrain]
The blue stars running down my forehead
Cold wings flutter when they're moving
Mushrooms everywhere I
m turning
Laced with love, intensive grooving
They said, they said
[Verse 1]
I know how to make you go crazy every day
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah (Ah)
Tease your mind and trick you, you really wanna stay
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah (Ah)
