The way she portrayed the suicidal thoughts, the feeling of being trapped, being bound, being lost in all your thoughts, the overthinking… anxiety is so hard to deal with and she managed to represent it so well! Love her.
When first watching this, I thought it was a weird way to visually represent the meaning behind void, rebirth by escaping depression and anxiety and an old version of yourself, but when you rewatch it you notice all the little hidden details and symbolism that Melanie uses to express herself. In the first scene, Crybaby, or Melanie, pushes herself out of a heart, and becomes a new creature, both showing the rebirth of Crybaby as a new creature, and how Melanie is letting go of an old version of herself. She then enters a door while looking behind her, making sure she's not being followed, and runs into the Void where she is chased by herself, or at least creatures that look similar to her. She then goes into another room where I can only assume she's watching herself incubate, and appears to be judging herself before she's even a new person. The creatures then hatch and just menacingly watch as she crawls away and falls into a new room full of bugs. In the room there is what looks like a window where you can see a bright star, and because we know Melanie likes to put tarot card references in her music videos, when you look up what the star means it says that upright it can mean faith and hope, but reversed can mean insecurity, discouragement, and faithlessness. The bugs in the room represent her insecurities and she takes a sword to one of the bugs and it flowers grow out of the bugs wound, which could represent the card being turned upright by letting go of insecurities and discouragement, and having faith and hope for a new beginning. She then falls through a tunnel, and somehow has a g-n, a sh00t5 herself and moths come out of her, and moths can represent change, transformation, endings, and death. She then falls out of a tower and the video end, but the tower is symbolic as well, the Tower Tarot Card upright represents disruption, change of life, and awakening, showing that she has completely left her old self behind, and is ready for a new life. That's just what I could interpret from the music video, but art is for the viewers to interpret however they'd like to, so I'd like to hear what other people think!

Melanie you mean so much too me, you've helped me through hard times and I thank you for that and for your music! Your an amazing person Love you Melanie!!!❤
This music video was like her spirit escaping her body to be free from all her insecurities. It’s like her body is the castle and the void at the same time. I loved the creativity and how happy and free she is ✌🏽😙❤️ love you Mel
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, James 2:24,26 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
This is coming from an occasional viewer of Melanie, From vocals, to visuals, the CGI, the planned way this music video went, and the subliminal messages that are displayed, honestly phenomenal, intriguing and disturbing, this is art at its purest form.
void is the most unique song i’ve ever heard in my life. evil and death are up there too. portals had to be the best album of 2023, even if it’s not mainstream. the production was genius and each song was so unique and well portrayed. melanie has literally stepped into a new version of themself and i’m living for it. it’s all so beautifully done. 🤍🕯️🪱
Portals is literally the greatest masterpiece of 2023.like ,hear to The contortionist and Tunnel vision.The aesthetique it created,the visual effects in music videos, the message the whole album brings about Life,Death and Reeincarnation ❤
@@mypeeisred24not that other guy but some good fxking arstists are Poppy and Bring Me the Horizon. They are like starter packs. You'll find more artists by time if u r willing to explore :)
Crybaby didn’t die, she went through the Portal and her physical body dies and her soul reincarnated into a celestial being. This being is assumed to be the beginning stages of an angel, given Melanie's monologue opening during the PORTALS Tour
Peak artistry. Like she made me cry. Her mind is so deranged in the most beautiful ways. She is a dichotomy of beauty and symbolisms nothing describes how closely she connects with me and all her other fans.
@@lucastewkesbury1906 completely agreed, never have I heard a more unique song and seen such an emotional interpretation of the meaning behind the song!
Mel never disappoints 🩷 they always do wonderful on their acting, singing dancing, timing, editing and etc. They work so hard!! They always give us a dark or important moral through their music. Thx so much, Mel! You've been a wonder to us all, and a magnificent therapist 🫶🏽🫶🏽
This song actually helped me so much, I just really wanna thank you Melanie for the lyrics, the effort and the love you put in your music, every music. I love ALL of your albums and songs, but the Void is different, it's really special for me. Thank you so much Melanie for everithing, can't wait for your next album!!! (hope u replay, but there are thousands of comments so I think it's impossible, ❤ you)
it's so clear why this took so long to perfect. these effects are absolutely breathtaking. it's so cool to be able to peek into your mind with these visuals and music videos. thank you for sharing your dream w us 🫶🏽🪷🌀
ive always loved melanies music videos because i feel like she truly knows how to talk about things like jealously, manipulation, anger, rebirth, anxiety, depression, etc, and her music videos just explain it in such a fascinating way and in such a captivating way, this music video is INCREDIBLE!!! Love you mel💕!!
I just took my daughter to see her in Connecticut and then again at Radio City the following night and I’m so happy she’s getting the recognition she deserves. The fact that she’s getting some airplay on the radio is long overdue.
If you notice, Melanie gave Void more budget because it is her favorite song and for example the one about tunnel vision, you can see that it is very edited and also a light shower.
I am grateful for this new album, not only do we get to see such an amazing artist grow...But we grow with her. Some of us have been with her since crybaby, and a lot of us stayed the same since k-12 but with portals...We all have been growing. Going through each and every Melanie Martinez song is such a emotional roller coaster. One that I think all of us can enjoy. I remember listening to my first melanie martinez song in 2nd grade. I am now in highschool. Melanie Martinez had been my coping mechanism in a dysfunctional family. My family had often fed into my insecurities, so in order to mute them out I would listen to Melanie. To me, the Void hits all of those wounds in such a beautiful way. I have listened to every song out in this album...And it is truly amazing. Thank you Melanie Martinez for raising me when nobody else did... For me...K-12 made me realize how bad my eating disorder was, with the song known as "Orange Juice" when I listened to that song I remember breaking down sobbing...Not only did it help me through my eating disorder but it also helped me through my insecurities when I was beginning my teenage years. Dollhouse was the first ever song I listened to from Melanie, and it is the most heart wrenching one for me to look back on. Since it reminds me of what I came from. To most people these are all just songs, but to me this is something deeper, because in all honesty...I would not be here if I hadn't stumbled upon "Dollhouse" that day. Melanie truly deserves #5 music trending...In fact I think it should be higher.
The way she grew from The Voice,Dollhouse EP,Crybaby,Crybaby’s Extra clutter EP,K-12,After School EP and Portals now is just so beautiful we love The Creature ❤️🍄✨
Melanie is actually a creative genius. Her songs and the videos tell a story and I love it. Not a lot of artists do that anymore. I love Melanie’s work so much.
I have anxiety myself & have been suffering from it the past 4 years pretty hard. The Portals Album & especially this song is helping me so much to cope with things. Melanie and her music/art have a special place in my heart. If you see this, keep on going Mel!🧚🏻♀️
this is about suicide and going to hell the void and trying to escape . .. she even is dressed and chased by demonic entities . Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell Look at the mess I've done, there is nowhere to run, yeah Holdin' a loaded gun, the void ,Bloody, like a body that has died, and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines , Tryna turn down the voices, the void ate me spoiler alert , you cant escape hell , recieve Jesus as your savior ,He saved me from killing myself , he healed my body and my mind , and now i am filled with joy and peace , and able to hold down a job , life is way better with Jesus !
Melanie is a creative alien goddess with 4 eyes. Every concept of her songs is just incredible. Loving how she experiment with different genres and styles. 💗
Void is a song that really speaks to me. Although it seems I have escaped depression fast (Only having it for two years). I am still terrified of it coming back. I don't want to become self destructive and unhappy again. Melanie, you have always helped me through my rough times, making me feel like I amount to something, and helping me realize this too shall pass. First starting with Crybaby, Then High School sweethearts, and now VOID. I hope you keep writing Melanie. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. 💗🕳️🧚♀️
@SecretUzum you missed the whole concept of art if you think artists are supposed to directly explain shit to you 😭 please don’t tell me you think THEE melanie martinez went “i want heart cause it look cool.” it’s painfully obvious imagery that i guess y’all just never put together…
I love how expressive her body language is in this. It might look silly,but it's very mesmerising and helpful,since you cant exactly tell what they're feeling based on her facial expression (because of the mask).
Yes! I love the visual expression at the part where she’s falling and she has the gun to her head, she doesn’t shoot but butterflies come out the back of her head, I read a thing saying butterflies represent anxiety and thoughts of death and then after all the butterflies escape she starts drowning in them which represents drowning in your bad thoughts, after she’s escaped the butterflies she can finally escape the void. ❤
@@aenilieswell the cgi in it, like with the giant heart, the giant eye, and the giant worm is actually really good. it’s fairly realistic if you don’t look at the aspect that none of it is *genuinely* real.
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL THE CHOREOGRAPHY, THE SONG, AND THE EFFECTS, BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS (MEL NEEDS TO WIN A GRAMMY) PD: THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LIKES 💗💗
It's amazing how Melanie manages to convey so many profound things to a video that no one else could ever do the same, the insecurity, the fear and anxiety, the guilt and depression. All of Melanie's music videos have different meanings, which each person understands in a different way. Melanie Martinez is a VERY alternative and intelligent artist.
THIS IS THE BEST MV THAT I HAVE SEEN IN AWHILE!! HER AESTHETIC, CGI, CREATIVITY, DANCES, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!! SHE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! THIS GIRL WAS MADE TO MAKE HISTORY!!!!!!
A small detail I noticed is that when the Creature is being chased by the big eye, the pupil of it keeps getting big then small over and over again. According to google “When we are stressed, the sympathetic spurs initiated with ‘struggle or escape’ stimulus dilate the pupil” Which makes perfect sense since Mel is trying to escape the void. The amount of effort and detail that Mel puts into her work is just amazing. Amazing work Melanie! This is just absolutely beautiful!💗💗💗
as someone with anxiety, your songs have genuinly been one of the main reasons that kept me from harming myself. the line "look at the mess ive done, there is nowhere to run. holding a loaded gun." always makes me cry. ive never attempted suicide, but ive considered it many times. im doing so much better now. thank you so much for your music. ❤
MOTHER YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN, CONSTANTLY RAISING THE BAR HIGH FOR OTHER ARTIST AND DOING IT FLAWLESSLY!! NOT ONLY DID SHE WRITE AND PRODUCE THE SONG HERSELF BUT ALSO DIRECTED AND DESIGNED THIS MV, NO1 IS DOING IT LIKE HER.. NO ONE! HER ARTISTIC VISION IS UNMATCHED ♡
This album really means a lot to me. It came to me at a time when I needed the most help and was so deeply hurt inside and struggling so much (yes I got help) but it just really feels so relatable and magical at the same time. It’s helped me with my mental health in ways I could never imagine and this album has been such a good escape as it’s so visual and the storytelling is so beautiful the songs are so powerful and meaningful. I’m just obsessed with it so much
As someone with extreme paranoia, overthinking and anxiety alongside social anxiety.. This song genuinely means so fucking much. I love you Melanie. I love you so fucking much
“I hated who I was before” I literally can’t, I was going through a period of my life where I hated my personality and was really depressed, I swear this song literally speaks to me, I hated myself so much and now I love myself. I am in tears every time I hear this song
@@Jesusismysavior0145 That's a lyric people on tiktok decided to run with. The official lyric is in the portals pamphlet. And she's also sung VOID acoustic before on SiriusXM it's "I". It's just breathy in the official audio* so it sounds like why.
3:48 i love how she represented the falling down the tunnel signifying FALLING SO DEEP INTO THE DEPPRESSION AND LONLIENESS YOU GIVE INTO THE BAD THOUGHTS AND END UP COMMITING IT ...
This video just encapsulates the raw feelings of anxiety and desperately trying to escape the lens of the microscope we put ourselves under. I have been guilty of judging myself more harshly than others, always afraid what others think of me or fear of failure keeping me from expressing myself and my gifts. It’s something I’ve been running from my whole life. This video is amazing ❤
@@mrmimefan99really? Taylor is a great lyricist but i wouldnt deny Melanie's creativity. Shes extremely creative and whimsical. Edit: (Only reason i mentioned Taylor is because Melanie lost the award to her.)
it's genuinely amazing to me how the same artist that expressed my darkest shadows in crybaby with 3ating disorders and relationships issues when i was in middle school is the same one who put out portals. i feel like i grew with crybaby slowly, the transition from crybaby to k-12 and then this is perfect and the timing is sooooo right. it's like there's no song i never "related" to at one point. I had my dark night of the soul and then started to heal and practice spirituality and then for you to put out such a beautiful album talking about the same thing feels so surreal. i love you and what you’ve done for all of us!! you’re an incredible artists and you align with my life path so so so divinely
YES OMG WE LOVE VOID AND YOU SO MUCH MEL!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONTINUING TO MAKE AMAZING MUSIC AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR CHARACTER OR BODY WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU MEL ❤️❤️❤️ WE LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR CRYBABY/EARTHLING HEARTS!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
PORTALS means a lot to me. It's the album that I've been needing the last years (my favorite album from this year), music talking about anxiety, life and death, all of that with that amazing fantasy aesthetic that I've loved since I was a kid. I honestly love all the songs and all of them makes you think about complicated issues that need more repercussion. Thank you Melanie for this masterpiece
I love this music video, and I relate to this song so much! I also wanna say that I love most of her albums, I like crybaby, k-12, after school ep, AND portals, a lot of people don’t like her new album, but people have a different opinion. I just love Melanie!💖
I have loved this song for a while. Lost my son, he was 30, in May, and I haven't done well at figuring out how to deal with it. I decided to watch this video, and it is perfect. She has the best explanation I have heard. Her song, her video are actually a perfect fit. Reminds me of MTV videos back in the 80's where we used to say "Wow". Excellent
I don't have kids and I'm too young for that, but every time I see that someone has lost their children or parents (at an early age) I'm terribly sorry and tears come to my eyes :( I can only guess how much it hurts, but still, I'm very sorry that it happened to you, I hope you found your solace in something... 💔
Somehow, I continue to be impressed by your talent and creativity. You continue to blow my mind with each project you release. I’m so proud to call myself a die-hard fan of yours. Truly beautiful and amazing.
She has represented anxiety so well: how you are your own worst critic and enemy, how you feel trapped and your own mind doesn't let you live, how toxic towards yourself it can be... Thank you Melanie for this. You're a true artist and an inspiration. Thank you for helping people like me who battle anxiety every day. Love you always
As someone with social anxiety I agree, this seriously represents it so well and Melanie has not only made a song that inspires but also one that can provide comfort on another level.
Lyrics: (In the void) (In the void) (In the void) (In the void) Baby I'm spinning 'round the corner It's tasting kind of lonely And my mind wants to control me Ah-ah-ah-empty There's rotten things left in me Injected by society No one here but me to judge me Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I gotta escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loaded gun The void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody, like a body that has died, and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I gotta escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Got to escape the void So strange I'm trying to find a doorway My eyes are staring at me And they seem so damn unhappy C-c-c-collect My fickle insecurities And turn them into beauty Alchemize the dark within me Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow I hate who I was before I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow Someone tell me if this is Hell I gotta escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loaded gun The void Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself Kneeling on a metal grater Bloody, like a body that has died and it's myself Tangled in my own intestines I gotta escape that void There is no other choice, yeah Tryna turn down the voices The void ate me Look at the mess I've done There is nowhere to run, yeah Holding a loaded gun The void
@@vicmartinsrsorry that they could’ve either just had an opinion or haven’t seen everyone you’ve seen Like okay your opinion if you think we are delusional but this kind of opinion isn’t one warranted for that comment
The way she explained the feeling of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts has made me realize that I’m not alone and many people have there issues. Thank you Melanie Martinez, you have healed and saved so many lives by the lyrics you created. And thank you for your amazing music. We all love you🫶

Melanie you mean so much too me, you've helped me through hard times and I thank you for that and for your music! Your an amazing person Love you Melanie!!!❤
Frrr melanie is the bestt❤❤
This music video was like her spirit escaping her body to be free from all her insecurities. It’s like her body is the castle and the void at the same time. I loved the creativity and how happy and free she is ✌🏽😙❤️ love you Mel
is my whopper whopper ai song good?
Yes

I ser the castle more as Her head but yeah kind of
Hebrews
12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Acts
3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
James 2:24,26
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
John
3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
This is coming from an occasional viewer of Melanie, From vocals, to visuals, the CGI, the planned way this music video went, and the subliminal messages that are displayed, honestly phenomenal, intriguing and disturbing, this is art at its purest form.

void is the most unique song i’ve ever heard in my life.
evil and death are up there too. portals had to be the best album of 2023, even if it’s not mainstream. the production was genius and each song was so unique and well portrayed. melanie has literally stepped into a new version of themself and i’m living for it. it’s all so beautifully done. 🤍🕯️🪱
Portals is literally the greatest masterpiece of 2023.like ,hear to The contortionist and Tunnel vision.The aesthetique it created,the visual effects in music videos, the message the whole album brings about Life,Death and Reeincarnation ❤
Maybe listen to more music?
@@DorfelsnorfGive me some better recommendations, then.
@@mypeeisred24not that other guy but some good fxking arstists are Poppy and Bring Me the Horizon. They are like starter packs. You'll find more artists by time if u r willing to explore :)
@@KaleDai26 I like rock and hip hop, with bits of phonk. Thanks though, my original comment wasn’t that deep.
Melanie thank you so much for expressing your feelings by bringing this amazing art to the public! We love you so much
Watching Melanie grow from Crybaby, to K-12, and now Portals, is amazing.
Don’t forget after school!

Crybaby didn’t die, she went through the Portal and her physical body dies and her soul reincarnated into a celestial being. This being is assumed to be the beginning stages of an angel, given Melanie's monologue opening during the PORTALS Tour
Yeah 🎉

Yuh i hope there would be an next album based on this theory
"My body has died but I'm still alive"
@@Cxxkielovesruinenei think she said she might end the trilogy at portals sadly😢
Peak artistry. Like she made me cry. Her mind is so deranged in the most beautiful ways. She is a dichotomy of beauty and symbolisms nothing describes how closely she connects with me and all her other fans.

her imagination. The portrayal of anxiety is so admirable. Really beautiful video. I can see myself listening to it in 5 years time. Good job.
She tripped my brain apart and destroyed my imagination this is SO GOOD I LOVE IT 🎉
true

it's so clear why this took so long to perfect. these effects are absolutely breathtaking. it's so cool to be able to peek into your mind with these visuals and music videos. thank you for sharing your dream w us 🫶🏽🪷🌀
Ikr like the GIANT EYE???? All the moths and clones- it’s amazing!
dont be sussy
4:09 is my fav part cuz it looks like she's being just surrounded, overwhelmed by all her intestines (aka literally a part of her)
ive always loved melanies music videos because i feel like she truly knows how to talk about things like jealously, manipulation, anger, rebirth, anxiety, depression, etc, and her music videos just explain it in such a fascinating way and in such a captivating way, this music video is INCREDIBLE!!! Love you mel💕!!
fr! she isnt afraid of tackling sensitive subjects and does it in a way that is so beautiful and spreads awareness on it!
She’s amazing! As someone who deals with anxiety her music is actually really calming!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE VISUALS?!?!!? LIKE THE QUALITY IS AMAZING- SHE WAS AMAZING LIVE-

its mtv vmas girl for "visual effects"
I heard this song on the radio yesterday and me and my sisters just stared at each other. We're so proud of Melanie!
Inspired by Melanie! 💘 ruclips.net/video/URTIIp7jlCM/видео.html
I just took my daughter to see her in Connecticut and then again at Radio City the following night and I’m so happy she’s getting the recognition she deserves. The fact that she’s getting some airplay on the radio is long overdue.
HOW DO YALL GTE MEL ON RADIO 😭😭
@@Samiii_672 I wish I knew I can’t find her at all
I heard VOID on Y101 and when I tell you I ran to tell my mom I RAN to tell my mom

That's so true damn
@@uv9dh fr

If you notice, Melanie gave Void more budget because it is her favorite song and for example the one about tunnel vision, you can see that it is very edited and also a light shower.
Omg slay, btw ur pfp is so real
It’s my favorite song of PORTALS before I watch those music video !! I love the way she expresses the feeling and emotion, Very touching.🧚🏻🩷
Light shower is very well made I think. Her snail CGI looks very very good in my opinion.
@@ghabrielmoore7357yes but this song has so much light shower is just a snail walking cycle with a light
I don't find tunnel vision that edited! Infact, it is very good to me. So far it is my favourite music video of portals
SZA allegedly sampling or using the same beat on her new album brought me back here. 👀🔥
I am grateful for this new album, not only do we get to see such an amazing artist grow...But we grow with her. Some of us have been with her since crybaby, and a lot of us stayed the same since k-12 but with portals...We all have been growing. Going through each and every Melanie Martinez song is such a emotional roller coaster. One that I think all of us can enjoy. I remember listening to my first melanie martinez song in 2nd grade. I am now in highschool. Melanie Martinez had been my coping mechanism in a dysfunctional family. My family had often fed into my insecurities, so in order to mute them out I would listen to Melanie. To me, the Void hits all of those wounds in such a beautiful way. I have listened to every song out in this album...And it is truly amazing. Thank you Melanie Martinez for raising me when nobody else did...
For me...K-12 made me realize how bad my eating disorder was, with the song known as "Orange Juice" when I listened to that song I remember breaking down sobbing...Not only did it help me through my eating disorder but it also helped me through my insecurities when I was beginning my teenage years. Dollhouse was the first ever song I listened to from Melanie, and it is the most heart wrenching one for me to look back on. Since it reminds me of what I came from. To most people these are all just songs, but to me this is something deeper, because in all honesty...I would not be here if I hadn't stumbled upon "Dollhouse" that day.
Melanie truly deserves #5 music trending...In fact I think it should be higher.
The way she grew from The Voice,Dollhouse EP,Crybaby,Crybaby’s Extra clutter EP,K-12,After School EP and Portals now is just so beautiful we love The Creature ❤️🍄✨

She is so intriguing 🥰🧚
@@pde8444cry baby died and this is her after coming back to life
A lot of artists actually do it, you guys just give too much attention to mainstream artists instead of upcoming or independent label artists.
I have anxiety myself & have been suffering from it the past 4 years pretty hard. The Portals Album & especially this song is helping me so much to cope with things. Melanie and her music/art have a special place in my heart. If you see this, keep on going Mel!🧚🏻♀️
Such a masterpiece!! The visualizations of representing anxiety and self-criticism was put together perfectly!! I love it! 😭💖💖
no its about suicide , and going to the void , aka hell , and not able to escape .
this is about suicide and going to hell the void and trying to escape . .. she even is dressed and chased by demonic entities .
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
Look at the mess I've done, there is nowhere to run, yeah
Holdin' a loaded gun,
the void ,Bloody, like a body that has died, and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines ,
Tryna turn down the voices, the void ate me
spoiler alert , you cant escape hell , recieve Jesus as your savior ,He saved me from killing myself , he healed my body and my mind , and now i am filled with joy and peace , and able to hold down a job , life is way better with Jesus !
Melanie is a creative alien goddess with 4 eyes. Every concept of her songs is just incredible. Loving how she experiment with different genres and styles. 💗
fairy
@@venusflytrap_. This new world crybaby's in is from another planet therefore she's an alien

Void is a song that really speaks to me. Although it seems I have escaped depression fast (Only having it for two years). I am still terrified of it coming back. I don't want to become self destructive and unhappy again. Melanie, you have always helped me through my rough times, making me feel like I amount to something, and helping me realize this too shall pass. First starting with Crybaby, Then High School sweethearts, and now VOID. I hope you keep writing Melanie. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. 💗🕳️🧚♀️
This is so powerful wow, so glad you're feeling better in yourself
i wish you the best 🫶🏻
thank you so much for this comment. I never really understood this song but I still absolutely loved it, but now I realise how deep it is. thank you
1:04 little body big heart I’m js knowing abt this
Wait that’s actually cool
She thought of everything!! (now she just needs to know about it)
@SecretUzum you missed the whole concept of art if you think artists are supposed to directly explain shit to you 😭 please don’t tell me you think THEE melanie martinez went “i want heart cause it look cool.” it’s painfully obvious imagery that i guess y’all just never put together…
@@BitterSavorybro i was joking LMAO??
@SecretUzum 😇
I love how expressive her body language is in this. It might look silly,but it's very mesmerising and helpful,since you cant exactly tell what they're feeling based on her facial expression (because of the mask).
❤10000,000000,00000,00000,0000$🎉🎉 TV Man😊😊
Her dancing is perfect in this👌🏼 beautifully portrays how some of those emotions you’re feeling look on the outside
Youre right… good analysis tho!
Yes! I love the visual expression at the part where she’s falling and she has the gun to her head, she doesn’t shoot but butterflies come out the back of her head, I read a thing saying butterflies represent anxiety and thoughts of death and then after all the butterflies escape she starts drowning in them which represents drowning in your bad thoughts, after she’s escaped the butterflies she can finally escape the void. ❤
Are we not gonna talk about how she went through this the hard work in this is just omg she made a music video into a whole movie it is so realistic
I know right
@@Red_moon12NPC
i wouldn't say it's realistic. although it's still nice
@@aenilieswell the cgi in it, like with the giant heart, the giant eye, and the giant worm is actually really good. it’s fairly realistic if you don’t look at the aspect that none of it is *genuinely* real.

It's amazing how Melanie manages to convey so many profound things to a video that no one else could ever do the same, the insecurity, the fear and anxiety, the guilt and depression. All of Melanie's music videos have different meanings, which each person understands in a different way. Melanie Martinez is a VERY alternative and intelligent artist.

THIS IS THE BEST MV THAT I HAVE SEEN IN AWHILE!! HER AESTHETIC, CGI, CREATIVITY, DANCES, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!! SHE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! THIS GIRL WAS MADE TO MAKE HISTORY!!!!!!
PERIOD. Your right
A small detail I noticed is that when the Creature is being chased by the big eye, the pupil of it keeps getting big then small over and over again. According to google “When we are stressed, the sympathetic spurs initiated with ‘struggle or escape’ stimulus dilate the pupil”
Which makes perfect sense since Mel is trying to escape the void.
The amount of effort and detail that Mel puts into her work is just amazing.
Amazing work Melanie! This is just absolutely beautiful!💗💗💗
oo
I haven't noticed that ty :)
aha
Mel is a genius bc she puts refresences to past songs or future ones [ily Mel
as someone with anxiety, your songs have genuinly been one of the main reasons that kept me from harming myself. the line "look at the mess ive done, there is nowhere to run. holding a loaded gun." always makes me cry. ive never attempted suicide, but ive considered it many times. im doing so much better now. thank you so much for your music. ❤

As someone with extreme paranoia, overthinking and anxiety alongside social anxiety.. This song genuinely means so fucking much. I love you Melanie. I love you so fucking much
“I hated who I was before” I literally can’t, I was going through a period of my life where I hated my personality and was really depressed, I swear this song literally speaks to me, I hated myself so much and now I love myself. I am in tears every time I hear this song

Awwwwww I’m sorry that you used to hate yourself

it's genuinely amazing to me how the same artist that expressed my darkest shadows in crybaby with 3ating disorders and relationships issues when i was in middle school is the same one who put out portals. i feel like i grew with crybaby slowly, the transition from crybaby to k-12 and then this is perfect and the timing is sooooo right. it's like there's no song i never
"related" to at one point. I had my dark night of the soul and then started to heal and practice spirituality and then for you to put out such a beautiful album talking about the same thing feels so surreal. i love you and what you’ve done for all of us!! you’re an incredible artists and you align with my life path so so so divinely

THAT WAS SO GOOD SHES SO CREATIVE I LOVE UTTTTY SMSMSMMS
PORTALS means a lot to me. It's the album that I've been needing the last years (my favorite album from this year), music talking about anxiety, life and death, all of that with that amazing fantasy aesthetic that I've loved since I was a kid. I honestly love all the songs and all of them makes you think about complicated issues that need more repercussion. Thank you Melanie for this masterpiece
I just realised the worm is her insercites and the flowers are her beauty which is her way of "Under the uglyness is beauty"
I love this music video, and I relate to this song so much! I also wanna say that I love most of her albums, I like crybaby, k-12, after school ep, AND portals, a lot of people don’t like her new album, but people have a different opinion. I just love Melanie!💖
I have loved this song for a while. Lost my son, he was 30, in May, and I haven't done well at figuring out how to deal with it. I decided to watch this video, and it is perfect. She has the best explanation I have heard. Her song, her video are actually a perfect fit. Reminds me of MTV videos back in the 80's where we used to say "Wow". Excellent
And yes she would get the trophy. Peace all
I’m so sorry for your loss, you have my deepest condolences 💐 ❤
I don't have kids and I'm too young for that, but every time I see that someone has lost their children or parents (at an early age) I'm terribly sorry and tears come to my eyes :( I can only guess how much it hurts, but still, I'm very sorry that it happened to you, I hope you found your solace in something... 💔

THISSSS!
She has represented anxiety so well: how you are your own worst critic and enemy, how you feel trapped and your own mind doesn't let you live, how toxic towards yourself it can be...
Thank you Melanie for this. You're a true artist and an inspiration. Thank you for helping people like me who battle anxiety every day.
Love you always
As someone with social anxiety I agree, this seriously represents it so well and Melanie has not only made a song that inspires but also one that can provide comfort on another level.
"I hate who I was before"
I love her now and I love the old Melanie🤍🖤
What matters is her own opinion, maybe it's because of trauma or something like that, we can't judge. As much as I also like the old era.
There's no way this is one years old I'm going to cry
IKRRRR?? FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY!! TIMELESS MASTERPIECE

Lyrics:
(In the void)
(In the void)
(In the void)
(In the void)
Baby
I'm spinning 'round the corner
It's tasting kind of lonely
And my mind wants to control me
Ah-ah-ah-empty
There's rotten things left in me
Injected by society
No one here but me to judge me
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I gotta escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loaded gun
The void
Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody, like a body that has died, and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I gotta escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Got to escape the void
So strange
I'm trying to find a doorway
My eyes are staring at me
And they seem so damn unhappy
C-c-c-collect
My fickle insecurities
And turn them into beauty
Alchemize the dark within me
Pipe down with the noise, I cannot bear my sorrow
I hate who I was before
I fear I won't live to see the day tomorrow
Someone tell me if this is Hell
I gotta escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loaded gun
The void
Like a priest behind confession walls, I judge myself
Kneeling on a metal grater
Bloody, like a body that has died and it's myself
Tangled in my own intestines
I gotta escape that void
There is no other choice, yeah
Tryna turn down the voices
The void ate me
Look at the mess I've done
There is nowhere to run, yeah
Holding a loaded gun
The void
