    this video took me to another dimension ❤‍🔥and this song will be on repeat all weekend thank u
  • Storm
    I am in love with the “DEATH DEATH” in the background it’s so ragged and rough and it gives me chills. And the pre chorus too “I DONT WANNA BE CARRYING THE WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS” in love. In. Love.
  • Elli playz
    the quote “please don’t ever worry, i know it’s morbid, but we all die one day!” gives me chills and a feeling i can’t explain
  • Jakob Whale
    Her pronunciation of words is so satisfying to listen to. Her music makes me feel like the biggest language, lyric geek lol she's so particular with everything she does!
  • 💗devin💗
    In my opinion Melanie Martinez is one of if not the most misunderstood and mistreated artists of our time
  • Jester Nemeño
    Really love the fact that she's not scared to explore other aesthetic and type of music. Growing up with Melanie and her art is such a great flex. ✿。•̀✧*☆◕

    I listened to the whole alblum to cope with my grandmothers funeral and it helped so much that I replay it when I feel like crying.
  • Fun fact: this being the first song in portals, it begins with saying “death is life” and at the end of “womb” , the last song in portals, it says that as well. It’s like how she said in k-12, you start in the womb and end in the Tomb. She is symbolizing how death and life is a never ending cycle since she is immortal.

    I LOVE U SO MUCH MELANIE, THANK U FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF ALBUM
  • Lyrics:

    They're carving my name in the grave, again
    The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
    My body has died but I'm still alive
    Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
    Lightin' my candles to draw me in
    Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time
    Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
    And meet me here across the plain
    The other side of my foreign land
    You aren't around, I sink into the ground
    I try to pretend I'm closer to you
    Never understand it, you're always on my mind
    I cannot help it
    I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
    Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
    Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
    Back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the (I'm back)
    They're saying my name in their prayers again
    I flicker the lights so they understand
    I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
    We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends
    Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in
    Burning all your sage to connect our line
    I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
    I try to talk, the barriers are too strong
    When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
    I try to pretend I'm closer to you
    Never understand it, you're always on my mind
    I cannot help it
    I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
    Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
    Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time
    Back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death)
    I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead
    Please, don't ever worry
    I know it's morbid, but we all die one day
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
    I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)
  • showtime
    this is relatable cause she went missing for 2 years and she improved since and now she came up with this amazing song
  • Rebootedpoppy
    GRATEFUL TO BE BORN AT THE SAME TIME AS MELANIE AND ENJOY HER ART 💝🎀🕷️
  • Tuski♡
    Can we all agree that Melanies voice sounds so angelic???
  • Está canción pega bastante fuerte cuando sabes su significado ❤
    Realmente amo las canciones de mel
    Al escuchar la última parte me da escalofríos amo bastante la sensación
  • If you pay attention @4:16 you’ll notice she’s put 9 swords in crybaby. This could be seen as a reference to the 9 of swords tarot card which represents fear, anxiety, and things that keep you up at night. 9 of swords reversed represents overcoming darkness and once again seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I love it when artists incorporate hidden Easter eggs in their music videos. Good album all together.

    I love this new era. The old songs were amazing, I loved them all. However, they were all childhood related. Melanie was proving closure to her childhood trauma, hence K-12. In this era, she has been able to move on, embracing herself as she is now. I love it.
  • Angelitta
    I'm going to be honest, Melanie's new aesthetic frickin' scares me... but I am happy to see her growing! And yes I am absolutely horrified at what I just watched and I loved it! Amazing as always Mel! I am glad you "came back from the death" :D !!!
  • STEEZY
    This is terrifying... i love it 😩
  • Elyullie
    I used to be a fan, after hearing this album, I’m a whole new air conditioner
