#MelanieMartinez #PORTALS
I don’t understand why this is everyone’s least favorite. People keep skipping it, but I feel like this is one of Melanie’s most heartbreaking and open songs. I feel like crying every time I listen to it, and you can feel the sadness in her voice. This is so beautiful.
I feel like it only hits people that have been through similar things. When I listened I almost cried because it hit right in my heart with my own experiences.
Wow, even if it’s my least favorite song I still listen to it
This one doesn't have the most views, but Powder has the least amount of views as of now. At least on KZhead, it isn't the least listened to.
Everytime I listen to it I feel like bursting into tears, not only because it’s so relatable but also because it’s just so beautiful and such a sad song. I hate that people don’t see that and just skip it.
@@emoarrrow i love powder sm
This has to be the saddest/one of the saddest songs Melanie has ever created. I'm so happy that this song wasn't scrapped too, it's so good and it doesn't deserve to be thrown in the pile of her other unreleased songs.
Even tho I am listening to the lyrics what do the lyrics mean ?
Omg this whole album is soooooo good aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@@zairefranklin122 my interpretation of the lyrics are: she's being used by fake, manipulative people around her, they're literally leeching from her and she's aware of it. She tries to hide from them but they still find her and take everything away from her anyway.
@@ObeyLucifer oh 🥲
IKR 😞 SHE HAS SO MANY GOOD UNRELEASED SONGS THEY DESERVE TO BE ON HER ALBUMS😭😭
Gosh, I’ve listened to Melanie since I was 12, I’m now 21. Her voice has always sent chills down my spine. Her voice is so unique. It’s so beautiful.
I just turned 12 and i listened to her when i was around 8 (ikr so young 😂) and i agree i love her voice she makes me want to learn how to sing because of how beautiful she sings ❤❤
i’ve been listening to her since 4th grade and i’m junior in highschool now😭😭 i love her so fucking much
Have I been living under a rock? 😅 I just found her 😅
@@adamrives6353 sorry, but yes lol
@@withered-noki Nah all of us became new and dicovered her
LEECHES is so underrated. A lot of people simply don’t understand what it’s about or how meaningful it is. Melanie wrote the song about toxic people in LA and Hollywood. A lot of popular artists (who usually live in one if those places) feed off other peoples pain. They can be greedy, only caring about themselves and the money their making. Melanie compares them to leeches, clinching onto people and sucking their blood. Although I cannot relate to this song, I’m very happy that Mel sang about this topic 🤍🌬️
Leeches ❤ Leeches surrounded Conscience is throbbin' They can't sleep at night Hold their pillows tight Caught in the river Of tears that I cried Bountiful harvest They flock to my garden Push their way inside I go run and hide They lift all the covers, pull me Into their sight Slimy and superficial Strainin' their artificial Yappin' to seem official Makin' it beneficial to their cause How much blood can you draw with your claws From a flesh that's not yours? My hands aren't yours and Gnaw on my bones, no marrow left To keep you enthralled I guess that is the luck of the draw, oh-oh-oh Let all their friends in The enemy's present They don't think too hard 'Bout your fragile heart They eat off the table that you set So you starve Stop all your breathing No, don't let them see you They'll find any way Just to make you stay Right where they want you In their piss-covered games Slimy and superficial Strainin' their artificial Yappin' to seem official Makin' it beneficial to their cause How much blood can you draw with your claws From a flesh that's not yours? My hands aren't yours and Gnaw on my bones, no marrow left To keep you enthralled I guess that is the luck of the draw, oh-oh-oh

It’s truly inspiring

Fr I love her sm
wait what happened
Melanie is an honest human. Her music speaks to her experiences and we have a lot to relate to this. Period. Melanie thank you for your dark bringing us light
𝐹𝑟 💀
The fact that in the end I paused the song because I thought it was my parents yelling🧍♀️ This song is heartbreaking, I love it so much, Mel did an amazing job with this album
Yeah I did that too.
I'm loving this new era. I feel like she's really pushing her art while still tying it into her whole storyline ❣
The mix of arts is so fabulous & captivating
THE HAUNTING VOCALS, THE INSTRUMENTATION, THE SFX... SHE SERVED A COMPLETE MASTERPIECE
LITTERALLY THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OUT OF THE WHOLE ALBUM AUGHHH 😩
like always!
It doesn’t deserve the hate 😭
I love how this song is 3:21. Its an angel number meaning encouragement and support. Melanie's spirits are supporting her even in her sad times like in this song.
OMG THAT’S SO COOL 😭
Angel number: 333 Not 3:21 Plus devils number: 666

wow... i'm not even kidding, this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I've been listening to this on repeat, blasting it in my ears, for ages.
same... this is so powerful, you can feel how exhausted, how sad she feels on this one. That's what I love about this album, every song is so damn emotional.
Yea
SAMEEE MY EARS WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS SONG
THE BACKGROUND SOUNDS, HER VOICE, THE LYRICS… SHE DID IT 💋💋💋
Yeah 💋
This song is a catalyst for all the pain and suffering she’s experienced. It acts as a method of cleansing, an outlet for her past negative experiences.
I love her
Not to be that person, but I don't think that's the correct use of the word "catalyst."
@@dinohall2595 I'm sorry that my small grammatical error caused you this much distress. I hope that you can find a way to recover from such a traumatic encounter.
@@davidriehle6658 Ah yes, the most mature way to respond to a gentle, nonthreatening correction aimed at helping you avoid the same mistake in the future.
@@dinohall2595 it was a joke lol im not mad
Heavily underrated. This song made my partner cry. He was confused at first and then you could see the realization. Now he sings this with me whenever it comes on and we tear up everytime. If we look at each other, forget it; waterfall of tears. THIS SONG IS RAW AND REAL!
i'm sorry
Wait what is the song about?
@@currentlyhidinginurwallz ????
@@currentlyhidinginurwallz (I don't speak for Melanie Martinez) with the ending audio of distant and muffled yelling; I hear abuse, narcissistic behavior and belittlement. I think of it as being stuck in a dangerous and dark relationship with anyone.

Such an underrated song on the album, straight chills

OMG YES
my heart dropped for a second reading that "475y ago"
Fr this album is so good
OMG MEEE SAME AJSJSJJAJAJS
those end noises at the end of the track with the yelling of the man and the banging are haunting. when i first heard it i thought it was my own parent yelling. it’s such a perfect touch to this song, it made me cry because i related to it sm
I thought those were my parents too
Someone said it was Oliver Tree
It was Oliver tree
My little sister told me about the ending audio to this song, it's I guess Oliver Tree abusing Mel as to why we don't really see her face anymore due to her having to get plastic surgery? If that happens to be the thing then he's one sick individual 🤦🏽
OMG somebody finally explains to me what those noises are, as it does not sound pleasant. 😢 Love you Mel! ❤
I don't get why so many people don't like this song or think it's boring, I think it's such a beautiful song, sometimes it makes me cry. Definitely one of my favorites on this album. 🩷✨️
I just know this song is gonna be underrated af, it sounds so incredible, the instrumental and singing is so dark along with the lyircs and sounds like something straight out of royalty. What an incredible track.
I agree
yessss!! this song is one of my favs and i can tell it’s gonna be soo underrated or overlooked just bc it’s ‘slow’
Real
It’s always the slow songs that end up underrated unfortunately
Truth ❤

Thank you sweety
Tysm❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU
Ty!
tyyyy
the ending literally gave me a rush of panic before i realized it was just the song. it hurts knowing others go through this pain. i wish i could take everyones pain away :/
Don't panic it's battle of larynx 😊
Yup
Same I hate the sound of people yelling and I hear it almost every day if it's my parents fighting or if it's them yelling at me but I love battle of the larynx
I feel horrible cause I know as a 14 yo exactly what she’s talking about, and it sucks cause most of us don’t get justice, the fact she can make it into a song is sad cause this is probably the way she copes, and as someone who understands I’m here for it cause this is the most underrated song she’s had so far in my perspective, I love you Mel, I swear I understand
I think only people who have gone through similar situations like you and I can really feel this song on a different level… :(
It's about fake friends I think
@@Mushroom_frenzyits about oliver tree
@@BRENDA..1564 no it's not. Not everything is about Oliver 💀
@@BRENDA..1564 definitely not
This is really sad :( i feel bad for everything mel had to go through. This song is so hauntingly beautiful, it literally sends shivers down my spine. Lets all show our support to melanie, guys! 💗🍄
What exactly is this song about? What did she go through?
How do you all know what this song mean i cant understand it tho 😅😅
@@randomdude4212 its about the people in LA with evil intentions
@@BandaidBunni yeah she said it in an interview.
me too 🙁
These songs just don't disappoint! She really puts her heart and soul into these songs and I'm glad she does!!! She really is an inspiration to many and I hope she keeps being an insparation!
This song makes me feel a certain way. It feels like the weight in my heart is being lifted and I get "good song tingles" Like flowers are growing from my chest and I'm being lifted. Thank you Melanie.
It's beautiful. Personally I feel like I'm turning into liquid with next "oh-oh-oh.."❤
Yep…I skipped it every time but, now I’m in tears on how beautiful it is. Omg, I’m literally non stop crying..
i have to say…at first this didn’t catch my eye upon first listen. listening to it a couple more times made me realize just how beautiful this song actually is…
same here
Everyone saying this is a skip will eventually love this song, I’m predicting it
they eat off the table that you set so you starve❤️🩹
Yeah, me too. I really thought this song was a skip because I never heard the middle part. It’s a beautiful song. I would put it in top 2. The first part isn’t downbeat and like the rest of the song, that’s would got me set down. One I gave it a full listen it was a really good song. At first, I just listened to the original, and the ‘best’ ones, like ‘Death’ and ‘Void’ which aren’t the best ones by far, they’re just the first ones on the album. ‘I guess it’s just the the luck of the draw’ really captivated my mind. It really summarized what melanie had to go though over the years. In fact, this whole song did. No other song of hers, even outside of the album has this much story behind it. It has the perfect tune and perfect pitch. It even sounds go sped up and backwards, which is a quality that most music does not have. Also, ‘yapping to seem official’ was just a really good lyric. It was the perfect transition to the peak of the song, which is the middle. I know I said before I would put it at top two, but now, I change my mind. It is top 1. It’s the best song in the album. Unlike some songs in this album, it just has the perfect lyrics and tune. So, I agree. This song is very beautiful and did not capture my eye in the first listen, but once I listened to it closely, it became my favorite song in the whole playlist.

MEL YOUR SO GOOD ILSYM
SAME SHES SO AMAZINGLY AMAZING
IKRRRR SHES THE BEST I LOVE HER SO MUCHHHH
YYESSSS
Leeches is possibly the best song she's ever made. Hauntingly beautiful and some of her best lyricism.
agreed
Fr
The "my hands arent yours" hits hard
You can honestly hear the pain in her voice the most in this song compared to any of her other songs.
Mhm it has me bawling bro
BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM >>>
FRRR
RIGHT
I'm not crying........ You are 😭
I'm just cosplaying as a waterfall😭
This song is growing on me. The instrumental part that happens twice throughout- one midway 1:22 - 1:35 and one at the end, is just something else.
It's my favorite of the album
The fact you can hear the healing process slowly develop throughout the entirety of her music, truly a musical genius 😩
FOR REAL ❤❤
This is probably my favorite ever song from her. The haunting vocals, the unique instrumentals. The chills I got from this song....just wow
As a dude in high school lots of girls took advantage of me in middle school this song really helped me a lot thank u Melanie
Something I love about Melanie and her music is that no matter the sings meaning, it can so many meanings for different people, and so many people can relate to each other, even if the way they relate to her songs is different.
I love how this song spreads awareness about not what only Mel has gone through but how other celebs feel as well.
Wait of what nobody explains anything
Look up MK Ultra. Pretty much every celebrity is a victim of such.
@@duaa7576 girl wtf are u talkin about ive seen u reply this to so many. mk ultra happened in the 50s??? tf does that have to do with melanie. bffr
@@duaa7576 That shit is Fucked Up
my comfort song
This song is criminally underrated😫
I love how Melanie's music is so unique and different from music these days, and how she's not afraid to change her whole aesthetic for the new album. She writes about important topics unlike most artists, who literally just sing about breakups or their lovers and stuff. Mel's music helps me through so much and Im so glad I'm alive the same time that she is
I swear she is overrated but also underrated at the same time. She has come up with some bangers for this album but people saying that she is unique isn't true as many people have had the same aesthetic and sound way before she did and they still have it
@@zenovixz9474so basically she is just rated regularly
i read in a tt comment section people saying this was her worst song from portals, but i love it so much its my favourite from the album😭❤
LEECHES hate is so forced smh it's an amazing song
Wack ass site bro
@@lbbmoodno. Because I heard a lot of snippets from the “listening party” videos and Leeches is the only one I haven’t heard. Literally cried when I heard it❤😭
Words can't explain how grateful and happy I am that this album came out
0:12 this song is so Underrated
I relate so much to this song I feel someone is abusing my kindness and trust. I feel that person is humiliating me. My friends mostly leave me behind, I guess it’s because I’m too sensitive for them. At this point I feel that my sadness is not taken seriously, I sometimes end up crying but that person doesn’t care. She just jokes. I feel ashamed of myself because I feel I’m such a crybaby, but I always end up saying “I guess that’s how things are” “They don’t think too hard ‘bout your fragile heart” Gosh such a relatable lyric. Melanie is a damn genius Anyways this song is such a bop
They don't think too hard about your fragile heart They eat off the table that you set, so you starve
I hate that this song is underrated. She went through so much for us and she’s making AMAZING mvs, performing 2 SHOWS , making perfume and merch! She doesn’t deserve hate!
EXACTLY!!!
Turning 13 been listening to Mel for 5 years now, Im a proud crybaby
Omg I’m turning 13 in December and I’ve been a Mel fan for 5 years!!❤
Melanie deserves a big hug :(
HOLY FUCK THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY THEM EVER
FRRRRR
All the songs of this album are so powerful, emotionally strong. You can feel the pain in this one. It gives me chill through the whole song, and the ghostly-instrumental helps to feel it. I thought I wouldn't like this song because it was a calm rhythym but omg...it is so powerful, I love it so much. One of my favorites tbh
Necesitamos darle mucho apoyo a este álbum
Olor a álbum del año✨✨✨✨
Obviamente, tenemos que apoyar el trabajo de Mel, estoy haciendo lo posible por darle vistas diarias a sus nuevas canciones, podemos llegar a hacer este álbum muy famoso, tiene demasiado potencial
Ik I love this so much! ❤
Tenemos que hacer mucho stream!
I feel the sadness in her voice.
The "I guess that is the luck of the draw." Is a disturbing line and I love it
Saw this when I got to that lyric
Leeches is so underated an overhated
Frr it's one of my fav songs from this album
Yesss!!! For real idk why I love it sm maybe bc its a little different tempo and not as upbeat..but im inlove with this song
And moon cycle too!!
FR
In the Detention music video, there was a bowl of leeches by her and I think that that may be a way of showing the pain society has brought her. The song Detention and Leeches have very similar meanings.
What is the meaning of detention?
@@theswaggiestbesties5740 hello i'm late to comment but from my perspective i think detention means your trying your best to stay popular, your trying to make yourself a better image while your not alright inside.

Lyrics: Leeches surrounded, conscience is throbbing They can't sleep at night, hold their pillows tight Caught in the river of tears that I cried Bountiful harvest, they flock to my garden Push their way inside, I go run and hide They lift all the covers, pull me into their sight Slimy and superficial Straining their artificial yapping to seem official Making it beneficial to their cause How much blood can you draw with your claws From a flesh that's not yours?

I am so sorry for what you had to go through, but music is therapy and we are all here to listen and understand your words! ❤
I love melanie Martinez's music she inspires and helps me get through dark times. Gives me a way go express my soul through her music ❤❤❤
The "leeches" thats Melanie's referring too is us the fans. Yapping to seem official is saying that things are and arent going to be out when we dont know that so we make ot official that it is or isnt happening. How much blood can you draw with your claws is symbolizing to how much information can you get out of me. Also gnaw on my bones no marrow left is saying weve taking all the information out and are waiting for more so we can leak all the information we get. Leeches is an amazing song and is very underrated in the album. One of the most beautiful songs and only some people realize it. We love you Melanie❤❤
I am so very proud of Melanie for how far she’s come, everything she creates is a masterpiece 💕
This is one of my fave songs from her album💗: Lyrics💗: Leeches surrounded, conscience is throbbing They can't sleep at night, hold their pillows tight Caught in the rivers of tears that I cried Bountiful harvest, they flock to my garden Push their way inside, I go run and hide They lift all the covers, pull me into their sight [Pre-Chorus] Slimy and superficial Straining their artificial Yapping to seem official Making it beneficial to their cause [Chorus] How much blood can you draw with your claws From a flesh that's not yours?

i saw on a comment of another video that the ending of this song is actually melanie and oliver fighting. you can mostly hear oliver’s voice which kinda makes sense. another thing is that the song after this is Battle of The Larynx which (this is according to another comment) is about how o,over would come home drunk and angry. this song is so beautiful and explains the scenario so well ❤
I love this song.. I feel how the instrumental makes us lose hope but the transition makes us ready for battle..
this is just one of the most underrated songs Melanie has
