For those of you who don't know! The larynx is basically what holds the voice box! So for me she meant someone is using their voice to battle with others... like an argument/battle with the larynx!
BATTLE OF THE LARYNX is the eighth song on Melanie's new album called "PORTALS", and it was officially released on March 31st 2023. The song is about choosing not to engage in petty conflicts and valuing one's own voice and opinions. The teaser had a caption called "POV you're a dude on psychedelics and I'm the ex that won't stop haunting you through Fungi". This further confirms the theories that mushrooms, fungi, and psychedelics will be a consistent theme throughout PORTALS.
LYRICS BATTLE OF THE LARYNX~~~~~~ Falling asleep at the arcade Liquory chumps of your tongue You used all your words for a quick game Blew it all before you won I speak in cursive, I'm poignant, dessertive 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 And they talk without thinking They bark while they're shaking With teeth that are round and dull And they yell while they're chasing While I'm steady pacing My syllables hit the floor 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 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've won And they talk without thinking They bark while they're shaking With teeth that are round and dull And they yell while they're chasing While I'm steady pacing My syllables hit the floor 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 And they talk without thinking They bark while they're shaking With teeth that are round and dull And they yell while they're chasing While I'm steady pacing My syllables hit the floor 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
