Melanie Martinez - Dollhouse (Lyrics)

"I just want to go home, but home doesn't even feel like home anymore. You ruined it." -Octavia to Stolas (Helluva boss)

Anyone in 2024??

Hits different when the song isn't just a song, it's your life.

Honestly this song hits so hard. Never understood why my mom would cry in her room alone because I grew up without a father. Later learned he left her after hearing she was expecting me, leaving her with little money. She got a new boyfriend around almost 4 years ago now. Didn’t think much of the fights at first, but they became so frequent I began to expect the fights and cry when they raised their voices at each other. Over time however I began to react little or not at all to their fights, even thought they could get extremely cruel with each other. There have been 2-3 times where these fights have caused me panic attacks, and recently they had two major fights that caused extreme mental damage on me. There were threats, insults, emotional damage, and breaking objects. I got so worried I gathered multiple items in my room to use as protection incase I needed to go downstairs in interfere (reminder both fights were at night while I was trying to sleep, both in school nights). They have since apologized to each other but i feel so uncomfortable when they are around one another. Every time I’m attempting to sleep, if they turn on a show with adult having conversations, especially a woman and a man arguing, I begin to tremble. I’m not going to go into details with the “brothers smoking cannabis” but I have someone in my life who does this I consider myself close to. I never get a good sleep because of the fighting, because I now expect them to fight at that time of the night. Honestly wish I could have just grown up a bit happier because it’s beginning to affect my grades in school, which my mother would be upset about.

“One day they’ll see what goes on in the kitchen” Mc Donald’s: wait wha-

this song ruled the world for a while

I love this song because so many families seem perfect but when you look inside of almost every family you’d see shocking things that you would never expect. Families are almost like little cults... you can’t leave and you’re basically sworn to secrecy about anything that’s not picture perfect that happens.

This song is relatable :'). Everyone loves my mom and thinks she's such an amazing person. They think that they're so lucky to have a friend like her. People meet her and love her, thinking she's so great. One of her friends even got emotional about her. If only they knew the abuse she put me through, then they wouldn't love her so much.

My family: She's a sweet angel! My headphones: R U SURE ABOUT THAT

When a song becomes your reality....

I love how almost all her songs have that pause when it’s almost at the end and then that intense background music when it’s done with the vocals.❤ Melanie is the queen!

“Your so lucky your family is so nice and your mom is the sweetest ever” “Your blinded by her jewelry “ “Everyone thinks that we are perfect “ “ I see things that nobody else sees”

When ur family care about whar people think more than they care about u

" when you turn your back, she pulls out a flask" Todoroki: confused screaming

ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HER SINGING THE OPPOSITE NOTES IN THE BACKGROUND ABSOLUTE GOLD

This song hits different when you have both of you parents still married and people think yall have the perfect family when in reality our family is falling apart.

no way this song kinda describes my life. no one thinks im perfect but they think ive got a normal happy wonderful life. they havent seen thru the curtains yet

MY BIGGEST FLEX IS I CAN PLAY THIS WITH HIGH VOLUME INFRONT OF MY FAMILY LOL

My life was exactly like this for 5 years. Me and my mom/sisters finally moved out of that situation. Now we are happy and are finally free. Sometimes I go back to this song and it makes me think about it. I’m just so relieved.

“Wear you dress.” “Throw on your pearls.” “Sit with the girls.” “Don’t act like the boys.” “Be straight.” “Don’t question who you are.” “Be like .” Anyone else feel like they’ve been told this over and over again, even without words?
