Nightcore - Dollhouse 

Me eating shredded cheese at 3am: *"dont let them see what goes down in the kicthen"*

McDonald's be like: "Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen"

_Everyone thinks that I'm perfect,_ _Please don't let them look through the computer history- //shot_

It's 2020 and I still don't know what the hell goes down in the god damn kitchen

MOM WAKE UP! YOUR SON'S SMOKING CANABIS! Mom: Oh hell naw he stole my weed.

Someone help me this song is like a drug.

McDonald's be like: Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen

2014: fast songs 2020: slowed songs 2024: slowed but then fast at the same time songs

''Picture picture, smile for the picture" ME: But I don't want a stupid Picture mom

8 years, I’m almost 22 and i still come back to this channel and the old music i used to listen too. Absolutely no regrets i still love these songs and I’m so glad they’re still uploaded. ❤

omg terrible memories of me and my friends performing a weird dance to this song at school and the teachers being weirded out 💀

It's basically describing an abusive family in the eyes of the daughter.

if you think about it, this is a very very sad song

"Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen".That's what McDonald's says...

My bro: MOM PLEASE WAKE UP DADS TRYING TO COOK BREAKFAST AND ELLA WON'T STOP LISTENING TO DOLLHOUSE NIGHTCORE

I’ve always wondered what my dolls did when I wasn’t playing with them...

it's weird how you listen to night core and you can't go back to listening to the original song without thinking of this

I'm never closing or TOUCHING my dollhouse AGAIN 😂😂😅😅

McDonald's golden rule: Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen.

Welcome back to your nightcore phase

holy shit that's rin?!?!? I didn't even notice ><

So, interesting story. I first heard this version before I heard the original, and since the video doesn't have any visuals, my interpretation of the lyrics was actually way different. Instead of the dolls singing to the little girl, I thought it was the other way around; and surprisingly the song still works this way. The little girl is mad at her family because they're constantly arguing (which is what goes down in the kitchen) about her father's infidelity and her brother's drug addiction; which causes her to try to escape from this by going somewhere quiet (the attic) and playing with her dolls. The song is her venting out to those dolls while pretending to be fine when her parents aknowledge her.

*I wonder what is going on down the kitchen* *HOLY CRAP IT'S MAH BROTHER HE'S IN THE KITCHEN EATING MAH CAKE*

I don't mind the ads, I don't mind the buffer, but when ads buffer, I suffer

Really listen to the lyrics...this is such a sad song

I like nightcore because it sounds beautiful, and the high pitch masks the relatable agony i feel towards the lyrics. because most songs contain words that will make me break down and cry for hours. Thank god i prefer nightcore for certain songs. It would be hell if i listened to them without nightcore.

love this song better than original and where my nightcore life began

We used to listen to this on repeat back in my old class We were like 8-10 years old And now I'm actually listening to the lyrics and wondering How did the teacher just let that happen 😂😂

best songs ever angel with a shotgun, dollhouse, take a hint

I like your version often more the original :)

This creepily captures my feelings when my parent was an alcoholic. My family was messed up and i had to care for my sibling, while being terrified my parent would not survive. I had to pretend i was totally fine, going to work, not being able to share this with anyone. It's creepy how accurate this song is. (my parent has recovered now, but this just takes me back).

I can proudly announce that this is the first Nightcore song I ever heard...

Listening to this song reminds me of Sally (creepypasta)

found this song yesterday I've listened too it like 15 times lol

“Don’t let them see what goes down in the kitchen.” My grades in school....? Or.....?

She's a great singer and writer. She deserve more fans right?!💜💕

First nightcore song. I love it.

OMGG THE INTRO

Oh jeez I'm on my Nightcore craze again.....

The original version was just as good, but the high pitch of Nightcore just really brings this song to life.

do you know that feeling, when you see a commeny in the comment section with a ton of likes and then you're there like "MAN I WISH I WROTE THAT COMMENT"😂

I finally found my Jam!! It was behind the milk in the fridge... The music was nice too

I like the deep meaning in this song. A either famous or political family most likely with a fame/and or money marriage and then the their son rebeling and doing all those thing while the daughter is just stuck. All of this going on behind scenes while duriing the scenes they're a perfect family.

This is how I found Melanie, thank you sincerely. -I'm Living Tonight

WHY I AM ALWAYS 1 YEAR LATE? Edit: 2 YEARS Another edit: 3 YEARS

almost a full three years since this was uploaded and I love that people are still actively commenting and liking it. too many nightcore songs get disregarded.

me be like: Dont let them see my search history

Everyone thinks that I'm perfect, Please don't let them look in my wattpad reading list

I really want to know what goes down in the kitchen.

Is it just me or does anyone else have a lot of Nightcore songs stuck in their head playing over and over?

This song has actually pretty deep meaning attached to it OAO

nightcore forever :3 my childhood escape

0_0 I will never play with dolls again.

I think this song have a deep hidden Message

I was singing this song and My dad walked in at 0:30. He yelled "WHAT?!?!?! HE IS 8!!!!" I started to laugh so hard that I started crying. I explained to my dad that I was just singing a song and The reason he couldn't hear the song is because I had my Bluetooth headphones on!

like 4 years ago, i was in 4th grade and this video introduced me to melanie martinez. now i’m i’m 9th grade, ive seen melanie live, listened to every song, and it’s introduced me to even more music i listen to today and it’s so nostalgic coming back here. thank you for introducing me to this, and by extension the music i’ve listened to since.

2020 *_:))_* Good Bye 2019 2018 2017 ❤

Hmmm nightcore gets more views than a lot of rap! LMAO awesome.

ITS A BAUTIFUL MUSIC !

Me: HEY MOM!! Please wake up...you son is smoking cannibus.... Mom: *GASP* Mom: THAT WAS MY WEED!!!!

Where all my crybaby friends are? 💞🍼

Nightcore makes everything better

I find this as a perfect song for Five Nights At Freddys! Like the story would be like: "Places, places get in your places" Can be when the night is over and they are going back to their original spot. "I see things that nobody else sees" Is the night guard talking about his hallucinations. "Open the walls, play with your Dolls" Can be when they are opening the place and use the animatronics. "When you walk away, is when we really play" Can be when the place turns to night, they start moving. "Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen" is where Golden Freddy hides. "Everyone thinks that were perfect" All the kids think that the animatronics are innocent and harmless. "Please don't let them look through the curtains" Foxy, hiding behind stage after the bite of 87. "well be a perfect family" When they stuff the night guard in the suit and makes him 'join them'.

Came back 6 years later and still knew the lyrics

7.6k people liked it so much they turned their device upside down and liked it again

This is how i found out about melanie. I was listening to a playlist of a bunch of nightcore songs that nightcore reality did and this one came up. (btw this happened when i was in 5th grade im in 7th now) and i really liked it, so the next day i went to school and in class i was singing it, and my friend next to me was like, "Hey, you like melanie martinez?" I said "Hmm? i dont know, i just know this song, is that the person who made it?" and she said yeah. I then told her that i really loved that song, so she suggested me to listen to sippy cup next and i did. From that point on i started to not just like melanie and her music, but the love it! i looked up her album listened to it, and look melanie up and learned more about her. Today i am like one of her biggest fans, i know all her songs, basically ever unrealsed song, and i went to her concert in October. I cried my heart out just knowing that i actually got to see and hear her live. I love melanie soooo much, and looking back at this is just so weird lol. I went from knowing nothing to everything.

My friend tried to prank text me with the lyrics I didn't fall for it and started texting back the lyrics to her. She got mad lol. Sorry Michelle

All aboard the nostalgia train

The worst part is when it's almost describing _you._

Nightmare of all guys who work in McDonalds: One day they'll see, what goes down in the kitchen Edit: Thx for so many likes! ^-^ ♡

When you think about it this song is about a schizophrenic girl with a cheating father, alcoholic mother, and a drug abusing brother. The family acts perfect for the crowd but in reality it's all going to hell. Her parents are constantly fighting, her brother takes drugs to avoid it, and she is seeing things that she likes to call dolls.

Ah First nightcore song I've ever listened to Like if you feel nostalgic

"one day they'll know what goes down in the kitchen" MC Donald's biggest nightmare

Melanie Martinez + Nightcore = What I live for

I just noticed what nightcore's are and now I'm obsessed with them!!!!

I listen to a lot of nightcore, but also never look at credits. Then a few months ago my friend was trying to get me into Melanie Martinez and I was like "Wait, I know this. . . "

*picture,picture smile for the picture.Pose with your brother,won't you be a good sister? Everyone thinks that we're perfect. Please don't let them look through the curtains. D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E. I see things that nobody else sees*

The dolls are a metaphor for the family. The dollhouse is the family's house. When the girl looks away, they start playing for real, which is a metaphor for showing their true faces: the son was smoking cannabis, the father was sleeping with someone else instead of their mother, and the mother was alcoholic, I believe, since 'mom, wake up, dad's with a slut' but she doesn't react. The family also treats the girl like none of this is happening, since: 'Pictures, pictures, smile for the pictures, pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?' The girl sees things that nobody else sees (what her family does), and the kitchen is basically the house/family/etc.

what does go down in the kitchen?

THIS VIDEO MADE ME GET INTO MELANIE MARTINEZ I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT😭🩷

This is my interpretation of the song. It's like Toy Story if it was dark, morbid movie. The little boy/girl comes out & plays with their toys in this situation with dolls. The boy/girl start to create this ideal family where everything is "perfect." To put this part in real life prespective: It's like those people & families who act really proper on the outside. They have this "perfect" image that people admire because of how great & ordered they make it seem like their lives are going, as if they encounter no problems. Getting back into the Toy Story aspect of this; "When you leave that's when we REALLY play." The boy/girl stops playing with their dolls & so the objects transform/come to life and starts doing things that the child wouldn't approve of. For instance Buzz lightyear starts doing drugs and Ken sleeps with other girls besides Barbie which in turn, turns Barbie into an alcoholic. It's a facade. In the public eye the family seems appealing but once they're behind closed doors they get into all sorts of detrimental things. More so I think it's to communicate how we shouldn't envy other people's lives. People do so on a daily basis & off of limited observation come to terms that someone else has it better than them and how they would switch lives in an instant if they could. I think this song is telling us to be careful and weary of becoming too envious of things we don't fully understand. I feel like the person who is singing, is singing from the child's POV. The child sees what's going on & is unhappy so she begins to build her/his idea of a "perfect" family which inclines them to play with their dolls to get a gripe of something they don't have. 

*Potato looks through the curtains* *Potato grabs gun* *Potato Is no more.*

I was wondering if I can use this song for my school's Halloween dance?
