VOID is the second song on Melanie's new album called "PORTALS", and it was officially released on March 29th 2023. From what we heard from the snippets and her performance of void in Lollapalooza 2023, it is most likely talking about the cruelty of her intrusive thoughts, making her go insane, and make insane decisions. It talks about how she cannot seem to escape the void of her negative thoughts and feelings. Some of the lyrics talk about self-harm, trying to reduce the emotional pain she is feeling inside.
And also discusses the second stage of the afterlife. Being forced to be alone with your own worst critic in Melanie’s words: yourself. Got to push through that darkness.
🍄🕸 ~ 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, in the void, the void, the void, void, void... Baby, i'm spinnin' 'round the corner It's tasting kinda 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 gotta escape the 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 Kneelin' 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 tryin' to 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 (ah) 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 the 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 Kneelin' 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 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 ~ Enjoy ~
This song makes me cry… because it makes me realize that I hate myself… and that I wanna die… all because my family treated me awfully… called me selfish a brat a bitch a failure and useless… they used my trust against me… I thought they were supposed to love me.. I’m fucking 11… really?.. I hate my life..
neither. It might be considered *daycore* but it for sure isn't a "daycare" or "nightcore" as it isn't a place for kids to spend the day at and it isn't sped up.
