The secret of success

The judges and spectators of the "Voice" were able to appreciate her appearance, voice and artistic presentation. That was enough for the contestant to get quite far in the project.

The real test for artists begins after the end of the show, when the artificially created hype subsides. Mediocre artists are quickly forgotten, but Melanie Martinez managed to get to the top of the music top charts outside of the television project. The singer began to perform exclusively with compositions of her own composition. Listeners fell in love with Melanie Martinez for the harmonious combination of light sound with sad, and sometimes deep content.

Verse 1:

Hey baby, open the house

Play with dolls.

We will be a great family.

When you go out

We play big…

Can't you hear me when I say:

“Mom, wake up!

Father with prostitute, And your son smokes weed"

Bridge:

No one is listening.

The wallpaper shines…

Don't let anyone know what's going on in the kitchen.

Chorus:

Seats, keep your seats.

Put on the dress and put on the doll face!

They think we're perfect.

Please don't let them see through the curtains.

Photo - smile for a photo.

Posing with your brother, don't you want to be a good sister?

They think we're perfect.

Please don't let them see through the curtains.

Ku-kol-ny do-mic.

I see what no one else sees.

Ku-kol-ny do-mic.

I see what no one else sees.

Verse 2:

Hey baby, look at my mother.

She has everything…

Ha! You were blinded by her jewelry.

When you turn your back, And she will get a flask, To forget about his betrayal.

Oh, she goes to the attic, artificial, To return artificial.

Bridge:

No one is listening.

The wallpaper shines…

One day they'll find out what's going on in the kitchen.

Chorus (same).

Chorus:

We go round and round like merry-go-round horses.

Will I catch love? I can never convey, I know…

Chasing you is like a fairy tale, but I

Feeling glued to a carousel.

Verse 1:

Come, come, come, everyone!

You must be very tall

To ride and ride this carnival!

Oh come take my hand

And ran through the playland –

So high, too high here at the carnival!

Bridge:

And it's all fun and exciting

Until someone falls in love

But you already bought a ticket, And there is no way back.

Chorus (same)

Verse 2:

My horse is too slow

We are constantly so close

Almost, almost, we're a freakshow!

As soon as I'm around, You seem to disappear.

Where are you going? Dear youfreakshow!

Bridge and chorus (same).

New bridge:

Why did you steal my cotton candy heart?

You threw it in that damn coin slot

And now I'm glued, glued, Twisting, spinning, spinning.

Chorus (same).
