{Some Of} The Best Melanie Martinez Lyrics

Melanie Martinez has been seemingly popular the past two years, and there is a reason why: she's clever, witty, wise beyond her years, and completely creative. Her songs are catchy and at times, dance-able - but what about the lyrics? Those definitely shouldn't be looked over, because most of {if not, ALL} of Melanie's songs are well written and straight from the heart in all it's rawness and authenticity. From lyrics about feeling like an alien in the world, to shy love songs, Melanie is a breath of quirky fresh air that we can all still relate to in so many ways. Here are some of my favorite lyrics from her songs:




"You've been riding two wheelers all your life, it's not like I'm asking to be your wife. I wanna make you mine, but that's hard to say. Is this coming off in a cheesy way?" -Training Wheels

This song is one of my favorites from Melanie, because it's a love song expressed in a really sweet and unique kind of way. This is one of the most hopeless romantic songs. The lyrics above are gentle and naive, and is basically someone just saying "I like you. I just like you, and I want to be around you because it makes me the happiest", but that's not always easy.



"Everyone thinks that we're perfect. Please don't let them look through the curtains" -Dollhouse

It's pretty self explanatory, and I love it. Not everything is what it seems, and not everyone is as perfect as they look - there is a story behind the smiles and the laughter, and so many work so hard at keeping that "perfect image".




"Chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I,
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel" - Carousel

I resonate with these lyrics right now. It's a love song about someone who has fallen for another person, but the romance and/or the relationship feels so unattainable. However, you can't help but continue to chase after the person. You're stuck on the ride of your life still thinking about them constantly, even after knowing how far away this person seems.



"You're one of a kind and no one understands, but those cry baby tears keep coming back again" -Crybaby

I think these lyrics describe a someone who is very empathetic and sensitive, and often feels like nobody understands them because they are so emotional at times.



"The normal's, they make me afraid. The crazies, they make me feel sane". -Mad Hatter

This is someone who feels like they don't necessarily fit in with the rest of society, or the "normal" crowd. They feel the happiest when they are surrounded by outsiders like them, who are looked at as "weird". It can be lonely at times, but being around those who eccentric like you, is comforting.




"Kids are still depressed when you dress them up, and syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup" -Sippy Cup

No matter how hard you try to cover up a mistake or how unhappy you are, nothing is going to change in the end unless you change yourself or the whole situation. No make up in the world will make you prettier if you are really a mean person, and "syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup", is a metaphor for the entirety for the song - because at the end of the day, that's what it all comes down to.




"I'm tired of being careful, tiptoe, trying to keep the water warm - let me under your skin" -Soap

This song is about wanting to let your feelings run wild, but not wanting to scare the object of affection away. The lyrics describe someone keeping a calm distance not to ruin their chances with someone they admire, but in all honesty, they just want to submerse themselves in this person and fall in deep. "Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap" is to say "I shouldn't have said too much. I shouldn't have said how I feel about you".



"Maybe it's a cruel joke on me. Whatever, whatever. Just means there's way more cake for me. Forever, forever" -Pity Party

These lyrics also resonate with me, because I've dealt with my own kind of toxicity with friends. I think these words are important and clever, because it's saying "So what if these people don't want to be in my life. They weren't my friends to begin with. Might as well have some fun on my own". It's teaching people that it's OK to be alone sometimes and to not always be surrounded by people - especially if they are fake and unreliable.




"You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry. If you dangle that diploma and I dead, you, don't be surprised" -Alphabet Boy

This lyrics bluntly say "try and make me feel stupid all you want, I know that you're a pretentious loser and I'm still fabulous".

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
