Melanie Martinez - POWDER (Official Audio)

[@lazulite666]

I love how this is the "opposite" of most Mel songs, the other voice is talking directly while Mel's "normal" voice is just on the chorus

[@Iittlebodybigass]

wait omg i just realised that!

[@ILoveGerardWay123]

[@elisep9481]

Idk if it's the opposite of MOST of her songs because she usually uses her normal voice in the verses and chorus, but I definitely see it being the "opposite" of Lunchbox Friends tho.

I'm so grateful that she made this song. We always talk about people dealing with drug addictions but never the people who have to struggle to help them. I know someone who was offered all the help we could give, almost every last ounce of help, and kept taking advantage of the help. We knew the addiction was a "cry for help" but we exhausted everything we could do they had no other choice than to help themselves. Thankfully they went down the route of recovery after the last attempt of help. Dealing with someone who is struggling with a drug addiction you struggle with them, it hurts to see them like that. It took a heavy toll on my own health. Thats why I love this song so much, to me it represents the battle of trying to help and it reminds me of what could've happened if that help was never taken. Please if you are struggling with a drug addiction do not make the people trying to help you struggle as well. It is yours to decide whether you are going to take that help or not. Please please take it, it will be hard but it will be so worth it.

[@remembertotakeyourmeds]

Feeling this so hard right now. Im watching my childhood bestfriend slowly die while shes starting to hate me for taking a step back when I did my damnedest. I cant be the only person she relies on and she cant make me watch her die in silence. I made sure her mother was updated full transparency on everything and that shed have that support system while I took time. I think she thought my break was going to be like 2 weeks, not the month 1/2 ive taken so far. We left off on alright terms but this morning I woke up to a text abt how I left her when it got bad, as though I wasnt there all the other times functioning under her 'rules'. I'm pretty sure she was high/drunk when she sent it to me. It hurts when she acts like I didnt try. I really did and still love her very much, but when I set a boundary and she acts like its all over its hard on my mental health either way when trying to guess if its her or the drugs. I dont like when she acts like she knows me better than I know myself. It feels like I'm being put down. She has a boyfriend thats also very toxic and they feed off eachother addictions as well. It hurts. And I think I'm going to have to take a permanent step back soon. She thinks I left her so easily. Its not easy. It hurts. Sometimes I wish it was easy to leave her behind in my life. I know I'm not personally responsible for anyones happiness but its so hard watching her waste away to drugs. And that terrible boyfriend that she refuses to leave. You can only do so much. And deal with the guilt afterwards. I'm glad to see a comment like yours. It makes me feel seen and less alone. Thank you for that.

[@chocolattefeverdreams4228]

I feel this. It's not bad to try and save the people you love. But sometimes you have to jump ship so you won't drown along with them.

[@pierceduponrain]

@@chocolattefeverdreams4228 Thank you so much for sharing, just know you gave the best anyone could offer. It truly is their own decision whether they want to walk down that road or not. You scream for them to turn around until you can't anymore because your voice is exhausted. Both the screaming and exhaustion eat you up inside, so, sometimes it's better to let your voice relax. You offered everything you could and they chose not to take it, so please relax your voice. I do hope your friend is in a better place now and she's recognized she's hurting herself and as well others around her. Once again, thank you for sharing your story and you are never alone.

[@sss-hq6ys]

What is the message in this song please ? Thanks for the answer because i really liked this song and i'm wondering what the lyrics mean ❤

[@pastelbluebell]

@@sss-hq6ys Hmm, I think there's a deep context to it all, but what I took from this song was the topic of drug addiction. It may be directed universally, but Melanie perhaps be directing this song to a certain someone. "Blood falling out from your nose and I'm wonderin "How?"" Refers to when someone intakes these substances causing nose bleeds, in which Melanie might be left feeling astonished or annoyed. "Eyes Rollin back and I'm wonderin, "How?"" Refers to a possible overdose, and Melanie questions why they would let themselves get to this point. The Pre-Chorus of the song to me referred to Melanie trying to be there for this person, but they ingnore her help. Ignores her well being, and how she is effected by all of this. I also took, 3:00 as a sound of someone intaking through their nose. Overall, the "Powder" may refer to drugs, in the form of a powdery substance. I thought those were key lyrics/points, so those were just my two cents from the song. I hope that somewhat helps! ^_^

this song speaks to me so much. i dealt my mom's heroin addiction from when i was eight years old to when i was 12, although being a song about cocaine addiction it still brings the same emotions through and i cry everytime i listen to it or sing along. i found Melanie's music when i was eight years old and always connected to her music so much but this song takes it. i love the detail of her distorted almost muffled voice in the beginning to symbolize the person struggling through addiction being so clouded and unaware of themselves while you're stuck trying to help them out of their cycle and i love how her voice gets a bit more clearer towards the end (after the sniffing noises). everything about this song is so perfect to me

My family struggles with alcoholism, and you described how I feel about this song perfectly.

[@ciceroisdaddy]

My dad struggles with meth and cocaine, he has done unspeakable things and I tried to help him. I was 10 when he started and I'm 22 and he's still on them. Whenever I try to get him to at least apologize or own up to what he did to me, he denies it and I'm struggling with it.

Lyrics 🥰💗: [Intro] Powder, pow-pow-powder Powder, pow-pow-powder [Verse 1] Don't wanna know where you go when you're on the run I'd rather stay naive, too much to believe Blood falling out from your nose and I'm wonderin', "How?" You glamorize your pain, wear it on display [Pre-Chorus] And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself I opened a million doors, you never go It's past point of no return, when will we learn? Alert me, when this shit is over [Chorus] Lying loud (Through it all) Cut your face (From the fall) When you're hurt (Who'd you call?) I can't answer now Spent the rent (On a high) One-way street (To thе stars) Clean it up (Watch you die) It's yours to decidе [Post-Chorus] Powder, pow-pow-powder Powder, pow-pow-powder [Verse 2] Show me a picture you paint of someone else Lived a double life, wish I was surprised Eyes rollin' back to your head, and I'm wonderin', "How?" I recognize our faith, put it all to waste [Pre-Chorus] And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself I opened a million doors, you never go It's past point of no return, when will we learn? Alert me when this shit is over Chorus] Lying loud (Through it all) Cut your face (From the fall) When you're hurt (Who'd you call?) I can't answer now Spent the rent (On a high) One-way street (To the stars) Clean it up (Watch you die) It's yours to decide [Post-Chorus] Powder, pow-pow-powder Powder, pow-pow-powder Powder, pow-pow-powder Powder, pow-pow-powder [Pre-Chorus] And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself I opened a million doors, you never go It's past point of no return, when will we learn? Alert me, when this shit is over [Chorus] Lying loud (Through it all) Cut your face (From the fall) When you're hurt (Who'd you call?) I can't answer now Spent the rent (On a high) One-way street (To the stars) Clean it up (Watch you die) It's yours to decide Yall can stop arguing with me now and appreciate the fact i put the damn lyrics there for you. You could’ve searched it up your damn self AND THOSE OF YOU SAYIN “ITs On A cArT🤓” Yall are so embarrassing yall have nothing to do in your life other than fight over lyrics melanie herself hasn’t even confirmed that its cart and im going by from what I HEAR.

I'm so addicted to this song. It's been on replay for the last 5 hours this song literally makes me levitate. Melanie thank you so much for this work of art.

[@ukumax1]

This song, pluto, and milk of the siren are all such great additions to the album. It's amazing that she released them just a few days after the whole album came out.

[@TylerArmyLeader]

The meaning behind this calming song is so deep... She's tremendously intelligent... I'm glad she's finally getting the recognition she absolutely deserves. Her music has and always will be cathartic to me.

[@Alexgfan316]

[@elisep9481]

My mom is a cardiologist who works with many different patients. She helps drug addicts, alcoholics, and more with heart problems. This song reminds me of when she tells me what she tells them and what's going on in her mind as she helps them. She gives them lots of help, medicine, and advice, but states that they're the ones who have to follow it and change their habits. When they don't, it reminds me of the line, "Alert me when this sh*t is over," and, "It's yours to decide."

[@Lexnge]

Definitivamente los instrumentales de este álbum son jodidamente impresionantes, definitivamente de otro mundo

[@pancake532]

This hits so hard after going to the portals tour. The vivid memory of the crowd dancing with their phone's flashlights lives in my head rent free 💗

[@elenareyes7251]

I'm glad I'm a part of this new era ❤😍 it's unbelievable 🙌 her artwork is out of this world ! 🌎 is nothing like the music from today.

[@greenb0uquet]

This song made me cry after a long time without doing so. It made me realize so many things in my life. This song is literally what everyone around you does. "Go and help yourself.All the doors are open, you never go" "In the end you decide." God, this is literally what is happening to me and those around me. Really more to those around me than to me. Let me know here when this shit is over. It is very difficult in my life to understand why people do not understand that if they do not help themselves there are people around them who will be affected. Mom, why don't you help yourself? Can't you see that you hurt me? I go to the psychologist and psychiatrist, I take medication, can't you see I'm trying? In the end I decide, and I decide that this shit is not going to beat me. I'm going to make it, I'm not going to die. Thank you Melanie for writing all these songs. They really touch my heart. Milk of the sirens It is the topic that lately makes me feel afraid and angry because of everything we have to go through. Let them drown, Don't feel bad when those fuckers go down...I'm not going to feel bad, I promise.

[@Julio-io9lk]

Melanie realmente me hace olvidar lo cruel que es el mundo, me da una razón para respirar y de verdad estoy tan agradecido de poder escuchar todo el arte que crea, te amo mel y te agradezco por tanto, de verdad lo hago, siempre tendrás un lindo espacio en mi corazón, mereces todo lo lindo y siempre te lo has merecido

I heard her song before, but none of them attract me till now, this album is massive, i love this album songs, every single one is unique, maybe because she finally found her true sell?

THIS SONG MADE ME CRY

[@Awesome_Bacon]

POWDER & DEATH made me cry from how beautiful they were. ♡

[@anafj]

I interpreted this song as dealing with close ones that have self destructive tendencies, and its so heartbreaking, when you have a family member and friends that act like that,its so conflicting bc you wanna help them but they dont want help, and all you can do is sit and watch as they slowly kill themselves,this just hits like a brick in the face

[@amatistarodrigez9278]

[@Luhvlaraa]

I really like this song because the vocals are different, it shows character growth / it matches the meaning of this song. Melanie is basically describing how someone who is struggling with a poor addiction or other destructive behaviours. The lyrics suggest that the person who is struggling needs help but they refuse to seek it. As you can hear, “Powder” is repeated multiple times in the song which could be a metaphor for drugs or a symbolism for destructive behaviour that the person is engaging in. Therefore, it could mean a toxic relationship that Melanie is singing about. 🤍🕯️

[@heartz4tswift]

this comment is old ash, but it’s in the pov of someone talking to and caring for someone on drugs (cocaine specifically)
