It’s a song about how the quiet people, usually have the most wisdom and integrity. It’s about somebody’s morals fighting with another human’s, arguments that get nowhere are stupid, especially with those who can’t admit that they are in the wrong. “Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight.” Meaning that you shouldn’t argue with my voice.

Lyrics: Falling asleep by the arcade Liquor it jumps off your tongue You used all your words for a quick game Blew it all before you won I speak in cursive, I'm poignant, assertive There's musical chairs in my teeth Poke me to battle, I'll jump on the saddle I'll smile as you fall to your feet And they talk without thinking They bark while they're shaking With teeth that are round and dull And they yell while they're chasing While I'm steady pacing My syllables hit the floor [Chorus] How stupid, selfish baby Don't you battle with my larynx tonight I'll wreck you if you chase me But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line The line, the line Don't you battle with my larynx tonight So crude and selfish baby Don't you battle with my larynx tonight Call all your guys in the dive bar They'll give you the validation Your daddy could never bestow you While bloody, they'll tell you've won And they talk without thinking They bark while they're shaking With teeth that are round and dull And they yell while they're chasing While I'm steady pacing My syllables hit the floor How stupid, selfish baby Don't you battle with my larynx tonight I'll wreck you if you chase me But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line The line, the line Don't you battle with my larynx tonight So crude and selfish baby Don't you battle with my larynx tonight And they talk without thinking They bark while they're shaking With teeth that are round and dull And they yell while they're chasing While I'm steady pacing My syllables hit the floor How stupid, selfish baby Don't you battle with my larynx tonight I'll wreck you if you chase me But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line The line, the line Don't you battle with my larynx tonight So crude and selfish baby Don't you battle with my larynx tonight We love you Melanie! 💖🧚‍♀

[@procrastination_r3igns]

Battle of the Larynx is about entitled people and verbal competition, a scream showdown of sorts. People who believe they wield malicious unconquerable power are featureless and dull. She knows their words are uselessly round and will never affect her. Her words are calculated by comparison; and knowing their egocentric behavior, they are sure to be easily wounded. I love this because it's so relatable. It's easy to hear entitled statements from a lot of people you know, and it's annoying oftentimes.

I think it’s gonna be like her next life connected but not connected to the past albums it’s still like crybaby but the adventure of her new life and the start of this life like a reset

[@Luhvlaraa]

I feel this song because it’s about standing up for yourself and not letting anyone and anything destroy your self-esteem. With the chorus “Don’t battle with my larynx tonight” emphasises the importance of protecting one’s voice and not letting others dominate it. This song also criticises those who talk without thinking which is suggesting that they are superficial and they lack substance. From my thoughts, this song sounds like it’s written about 2 different conflict styles - one person who yells a bunch of nothing loudly and tries to intimidate, whilst the other is calm and concisely use their words and wit to prove their point. 🤍🕯️

[@bqpsi]

YESS I LOVE "AND THEY TALK WITHOUT THINKING, THEY BARK WHILE SHAKING" people don't think before they talk

[@rothehuman3909]

"I listen to this song to express my sensitivity can be protected with my anger with the photos I see characters being mean or having an argument with another character. My brain pictures me in these stupid photos and videos. I feel like I've been exposed to the hatred from these photos, videos, and these characters for too long. I just want to show these characters in those videos and photos of how I felt about their current situation and how it shaped them the way they are now." - Ro's Mistress (the creator, Serenity Gonzales)

[@TertialCoast448]

[@accentillia8116]

Ok so... You think about words you want to say(I say you think twice before you say it cause it could hurt to whoever you're saying it.), the brain sends a message to the larynx, the larynx makes those words and makes them vibrate through the vocal chords, and then it passes through the tongue and that's it! You talked!

the twirls that her voice has within the song is out of this world. its s captivating! it teleports you into this galactic garden of death, romance ( and by romance i mean, a personal romance. like knowing your darkest areas and taking a dance with them ) heartbreaks , and the knowing of who you were, are and will be. :)

[@treetopgardens8946]

[@Starrykissess]

This song honestly represents me whenever I get in an argument, I’m normally a really quiet person unless someone says something that triggers me I don’t like raising my voice above it’s normal tone since it strains. But if someone wants to argue I’ll go back and forth with them until they’re silenced. “But I’ll be silent till you cross the line”

This song, when it was released, was the best thing that happened to me. During that time, I was facing intense bullying at school and couldn't say anything. Three boys started to harass me, engaging in cyberbullying, stealing my belongings, pulling my hair during classes, and saying hurtful things, like calling me schizophrenic. I was just letting things slide until one day I reached my limit. This song helped me a lot to be able to tell my family and school what was happening, and fortunately, I changed schools. Melanie, you are much more than a singer; you are a feeling. ❤

After a horrible breakup and living with a toxic person for so long, I moved into my first apartment all by myself and this song was playing on my little bluetooth speaker on repeat the first night I was there in an empty apartment. This song gave me a new life, and I'll never forget the memory i have with it.

after a year of its release and putting me into a place of speechlessness this whole time, i'd like to say that this whole album is a heaven for a human's auditory-nervous system. it takes me on a whole new dimensional level which questionably exists in my brain which i haven't yet discovered in this time being on earth. I acknowledge Melanie's magic-inducing power to make her songs so tingle-inducing and mind boggling.
