Dollhouse (Canción)

## Dollhouse

**"Dollhouse"** es el sencillo debut de Melanie Martinez. El video musical fue publicado el 9 de febrero de 2014, y la canción estuvo disponible para descarga digital al día siguiente, el 10 de febrero. Luego apareció en Dollhouse EP como la canción de apertura. También aparece como la segunda canción en el álbum debut de Melanie, Cry Baby, así como en su segundo EP, Pity Party.

## Temática

**"Dollhouse"** trata sobre la familia del alter ego de Melanie. La madre del alter ego se revela como alcohólica debido a la infidelidad de su esposo, y su hermano fuma cannabis y sustancias ilegales. El alter ego, llamado Cry Baby, es la única que reconoce lo horrible de su situación. Cry Baby desea que la gente comprenda su realidad. En el video musical, Cry Baby y su familia se visualizan como muñecas, como metáfora de la familia de Cry Baby tratando de parecer perfecta en público.

Esta canción también puede ser utilizada para describir cómo las personas ven a las celebridades. En una entrevista, Melanie dijo: "La gente las coloca en cajas de cristal y piensa que son perfectas, y cuando sucede algo que muestra que son humanas, a la gente no le gusta eso".

## Letras

Hey girl, open the walls

Play with your dolls

We'll be a perfect family

When you walk away is when we really play

You don't hear me when I say

"Mom, please wake up

Dad's with a slut

And your son is smoking cannabis"

No one never listens

This wallpaper glistens

Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen

Places, places

Get in your places

Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

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

D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E

I see things that nobody else sees

Hey girl, look at my mom

She's got it going on

Ha, you're blinded by her jewelry

When you turn your back

She pulls out a flask

And forgets his infidelity

Uh-oh, she's coming to the attic, plastic

Go back to being plastic

No one never listens

This wallpaper glistens

One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen

Places, places

Get in your places

Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

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

D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E

I see things that nobody else sees

Hey girl (hey girl)

Hey girl, open your walls

Play with your dolls

We'll be a perfect family

Places, places

Get in your places

Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

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

D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E

I see things that nobody else sees
