this song is all about throwing away a toxic relationship and never wanting them back. SUCH AN ANTHEM MATERIAL.

this sounds like when people pleasers set boundaries and they call themselves evil, I love it

1:58 “hope you slip on soap” the little laugh you hear is so iconic I love you mel 🩷

1:34 "remember when you smiled right to my face? as all my little tears of oxatalate, they made a shape, revealed a snake." -melanie martinez 🍄

As someone who survived an abusive relationship, this song understands me He actually called me evil when i refused to fall for his tricks again

Lyrics (⁠๑⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡⁠๑⁠) You called the other day, I stayed away I left your shit on "Read" four times today And it felt like bliss, used to miss your kiss Now I'm hop-skip jumpin' over narcissists Throwing all your stuff into the abyss Now the role is reversed and told you I'ma switch How you like my spit? That's for all the pits, that you left me in See, the horns on my head they're from goddesses Goddesses, on God No, I never knew what it meant What it meant to be content with you Everything I expressed, I professed It never quite made it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Lovin' you was lethal, guess that makes me evil, evil Evil, evil, evil Remember when you smiled right to my face? As all my little tears of oxalate They made a shape, revealed a snake Now I'm stop-drop rollin' over all your jokes Every time you tell a lie I'm prayin' that you choke Should've listened to the signs and the horoscopes Hope you never cope, hope you slip on soap Crack your head like an egg, wanna see the yolk You were such a hoax No, I never knew what it meant What it meant to be content with you Everything I expressed, I professed It never quite made it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Lovin' you was lethal, guess that makes me evil, evil If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Lovin' you was lethal, guess that makes me evil, evil Evil, evil, evil, evil Evil, evil, evil, evil Lovin' you was lethal, guess that makes me evil

"hope you slip on soap" THAT LITTLE SMIRK AND LAUGH you can hear is so cute!!

I am obsessed with the occasional rage in her singing so much especially at the parts like " guess that makes me evil". It expresses so much empowerment and being done with being gaslighted to me.

dude this song is everything, it goes SO hard "LOVING YOU WAS LETHAL, GUESS THAT MAKES ME EVILL!"

WHY NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT HOW GORGEOUS INSTRUMENTAL IS

In an interview with Apple Music, Melanie revealed the theme of the song: It's about dealing with a narcissist who ironically calls you evil just because you're able to see through their bullshit. Melanie Martinez The overall message of the song seems to be about empowerment and standing up for oneself in the face of toxic relationship.

As someone who has survived a toxic friendship and finally spoke up for myself after 9 months of torture and 1 or 2 death threats this is now my national anthem

Melanie raised me, I discovered her in 2018 and have always loved her songs. Now with Portals I love her even more, this album is really beautiful and Melanie has definitely put a lot of effort into it. I love her🩷

I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH😭💗 Lyrics🥰💗: [Verse 1] You called the other day, I stayed away I left your shit on read four times today And it felt like bliss, used to miss your kiss Now I'm hop skip jumpin' over narcissists Throwin' all your stuff into the abyss Now the role is reversed, told you, I'm a switch How you like my spit? That's for all the piss that you left me in See, the horns on my head, they're from goddesses Goddesses, on god [Pre-Chorus] No, I never knew what it meant What it meant to be content with you Everything I expressed, I professеd It never quite madе it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse [Chorus] If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Loving you was lethal, guess that makes me evil (Evil, evil) [Verse 2] Remember when you smiled right to my face? As all my little tears of oxalate They made a shape, revealed a snake Now I'm stop drop rollin' over all your jokes Every time you tell a lie, I'm praying that you choke Should've listened to the signs, and the horoscopes Hope you never cope, hope you slip on soap Crack your head like an egg, wanna see the yolk You were such a hoax [Pre-Chorus] No, I never knew what it meant What it meant to be content with you Everything I expressed, I professed It never quite made it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse [Chorus] If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Loving you was lethal, guess that makes me evil, evil If you bite my hand again I will never feed you, you can call me evil Take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend I won't be mistreated, please call me conceited Took me way too long to put this to bed Loving you was lethal, guess that makes me evil, evil [Outro] Evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil

"said it's all in my head whenever I spoke my truth, no, I won't defend you to all my friends, this time I refuse" I love that line.

I notice how in the beginning when she starts to sing the guitar in the background is kind of hushed but becomes louder as the song goes on, highlighting the detail of the anger in this song which I LOOOOVE.

The fact that this song can be applied to so many different types of relationships is what makes it such a masterpiece to me, this is absolutely my favorite on the album

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS IN THE ALBUM I'M SCREAMING THE LYRICS WHO AGREES???

the way i’ve been crying to this song so hard i’m living this song rn and ik it’s going to help me heal i’m so grateful she dropped the album around this time 😭❤️ whoever going through this i’m rly sorry :( but we’re getting through it besties you’re going to come out stronger I PROMISE

YAAAAAAH 1 YEAR?!! 😭 Oh shit the time fly 😭😭😭😭 I Love you so much Melanie Martinez 💗💗

I love the way she says “felt like bliss” and “miss your kiss”, it sounds so badass. 🖤

As someone living in a toxic, abusive, and homophobic family your music has gotten me through the worst of it so many times. I would always listen to crybaby when i was told that I was "overreacting" or being "sensitive" I would listen to mad hatter, k-12, and after school to reclaim my power and autonomy. And now I'm growing out of old ways and truly coming into a new me so to watch you going under the same process and making music like this is really inspiring and it shows me that I'm not alone. I'm coming to truly loving myself and I'm thankful for all that you've given me as an amazing artist. LOVE YOU FOREVER MELANIE💖!

I love that she came to this conclusion in the end, where she realizes she’s become braver than before, this song has the Mad Hatter vibes which she showed herself embracing her own weirdness through

as for this being one year ago,imagine her on stage singing this,imagine the crowd,I’d be proud:D

I’m so proud of Melanie not being afraid to change her style and music. She’s so authentically herself and original! 😍

The little laugh on “hope you slip on soap” is amazing and I hope all of Mel’s exes hear it and feel stupid 😂

she sings,she acts,she writes her own music and lyrics,she gave us new character and new story behind it,only thing i can say ab Melanie is that she is PURE PERFECTION AND WE NEED TO SUPPORT HER AND HER ART AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO YALL STREAM PORTALS SO HARD TO SHOW MELANIE THAT WE LOVE HER!!!🌬🕯🤍💐

Treating em like a dog, “if you bite my hand again, I will never feed you” you go gurly love your music

''see the horns on my head? They're from goddesses, goddesses.on God.'' probably my favorite lyric of the song

this song cleared my skin and cured my headache.. this song is so damn good

This, death and void are my favorites songs from the album I think. This hits so hard when you have been portrayed as a villain by an abusive/toxic partner or 'friend'.

just broke off a 10 year toxic friendship, this is now my national anthem. goodbye, eli, it's been a good run. i hope i see you never.

this song means a lot to me one of my favorites off the record I’ve been through a situation like this where all my feelings weren’t valid and it was like i was making stuff up to the person everytime id speak what was on my mind and this song makes me feel like i can heal from it little by little its really empowering for me

*Lyrics for anyone who wants to read/sing along* :) [Verse 1] You called the other day, I stayed away I left your shit on read, four times today And it felt like bliss, used to miss your kiss Now I'm hop-skip jumpin' over narcissists Throwing all your stuff into the abyss Now the role is reversed and told you I'ma switch How you like my spit?

Honestly hearing EVIL live is something I won't ever get over 😭😭♥️

i’m genuinely so proud of how far Melanie has came with their music. I remember listening to Dollhouse for the first time ever and relating to it and it made me wanna continue listening to her to see what messages she’d continue to unfold in her music. This new era has me excited and although I’ll miss crybaby so much, I’m just happy and glad they have improved as a character and are becoming more comfortable with themself.

From 'Teddy Bear' to 'Evil.' The growth is astronomical. So inspiring ❤

MELANIES THOUGHTS ON EVIL- My favorite of the conflict songs! CJ laid down guitar and looped it, I paced around the pool and wrote the lyric and melody in around 30 minutes. Flowed really easily and effortlessly. I think it's because I just had a mental turning point where I was finally able to articulate perfectly what I had dealt with in my last relationship. I wanted the lyrics to be the most savage and the most cunty. Every time I wrote something I was like no it's not mean enough. It's about dealing with a narcissist who ironically calls you evil just because you're able to see through their bullshit. I spent the entire day blowing out my vocals recording it. It was definitely the most challenging song to sing.

Melanie helped me confess to my bf, and now she’s helping me with an argument. 🖤

Heavily relate to this song rn. Just had to let go of my best friend of 8 years. Took me this long to realize it really was toxic. It's just when we had our highs, my god they were high. She never really cared though and she was so messed up. Tried helping her so much cause I loved her like a sister. She kept getting into toxic relationships. She once tried to end her life took me hours to get the knife away and then she acted like nothing ever happened, started ignoring me and talked on the phone with one of her side hoes. Tried to get her help paid for her to go get meds for her depression then she expected me to keep paying. She always used me to go out, buy her stuff and drinks. Always asked me to do stuff out of comfort zone and I defended her so many times it was all a waste of time. All the words all the pleading wasted. She affected my mental health gave me panic attacks. When I finally found people who genuinely cared for me and I had to take a step back and hang out less, she had the gall to tell me I was a crap friend and I never cared. I cared too damn much that was my problem it wasn't worth the good times she was taking me deep down the rabbit hole with her. So guess that makes me evil in her books. Danielle if you ever see this imma jump skip over ur narcissistic ass and yes I'm still hurting but at least I have friends and an amazing boyfriend to help me get over it. You have no one now good luck 😊

i’ve had relationship issues for so long, everything was so toxic but i think mel is helping me get over it. these songs make me feel like i deserve more and shouldn’t be content with something i don’t actually want

Came here to hear the original after having listened to the cover by Camila and Neuma (Evil Neuro).

She doesn't change her style, she changes how we see her, this is real her and she screams it all to the world. RIP Crybaby, Welcome Death and Void.

This NEEDS to be the next single. Its so bloody addictive.

THE TRANSITION FROM NYMPHOLOGY TO EVIL IS SO 🛐🛐

Melanie has just created her best era, so proud

I rly love this song bc from her older songs u can tell how empathetic she is, but sometimes that empathy can destroy u, this song shows how far she's grown as a person, I rly hope I can make that change in my life too ^^

I love this song! Melanie shines with her voice and her style. The lyrics are very powerful and relatable. It's a song that makes you feel strong and proud of yourself, and that makes you want to tell everyone who hurt you to hell 💖🍄

Been listening to this on repeat for a few days. Broke up with a controlling, manipulative, using, lying pos. I was scared to leave bc of threats and his unstable emotions. But i did it. If you're reading this and are in that kind of relationship, thinking abt leaving: be strong, you can do it. Get friends, family, a support group. You will be okay, you got this.

Undoubtedly the best song to release on this album. Every single ethereal word expressed on any other song on this album has no amount in comparison to this absolute masterpiece. The powerful message flows through me, fuels me. Melanie's creativity is as lucent ad the stars, I'd die to know how she does it.

"Everything I expressed, I professed It never quite made it through Said it's all in my head, all in my head Whenever I spoke my truth No, I won't defend you to all my friends This time, I refuse" FELT THIS IN MY ENTIRE HEART.

Dealing with a narcissist for years is horrifying, the constant mind games, this album is everything I could’ve hoped for and more, thank you Mel 🖤

I love the finally realizing like ok I’ll be the villain. “ If you bite my hand again I will never feed you” “you can call me evil, take it to the grave if you wanna play pretend, i wont be mistreated!”

I have this core memory of me listening to DOLLHOUSE for the first time and thinking how much I loved the song. Then I kept digging and here I am now 😅 Idc what anyone says her music is always great and it always has meaning behind it. You can 1,000% tell how much effort she puts into this and I love it

I feel like this song is made for me, letting go of my best friend of 5 years. She was toxic and it hurt to leave her but I never knew what it meant to be content :)

Do we agree that the transition from nymphology and evil is the best?✨✨

1:58 AWWHH HER LITTLE LAUGH WHILE SAYING IT IS ADORABLEEE 😭😭💗💗💗

NO WAY ITS OUT! Melanie deserves our support, shes amazing!

0:00 --------------------------------4:06 Every like replay's this masterpiece

wow first i missed her old crybaby era but now i’m in love w her new songs

the feeling of finally having the guts to end a toxic friendship, and seeing how your old friends call you evil for doing so

This album truly could not have come out at a better time for me. Finally broke things off with the man I thought was the love of my life. He treated me like shit, lied and manipulated me, and cheated on me with the woman he told me that he was never going to go back to. This song is everything I've needed to hear and gave me the courage to finally get him out of my life. I'm tired of being a game to people, I refuse to be mistreated any longer ❤

This is making me feel things I've never felt before from a song

This song hits different after blocking someone off from a toxic friendship. "You can't walk away from this." Yeah? Just watch me.

"My fav songs from this album"

PORTALS es tan maravilloso, hermoso y mágico, estoy tan agradecida de ser parte de está nueva era y me siento tan afortunada de haber sido parte de sus inicios, Melanie nunca decepciona 😭❤️✨🍄🧚🏻‍♀️❤️🍄✨🧚🏻‍♀️

This sounds like a 2015 Disney Channel song in the best way possible

This song is probably gonna be my favorite in this album

M- marvelous E- Entertaining L- lovely A- absolutely amazing N- nice I- iconic and inspiring E- Empatheitc

Melanie deserves the world she has done so many things for her followers and supporters. Amazing album as always 🥰

i can’t express my love for this woman and her music

YALL DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE MELANIE I LISTENED TO HER EVER SINCE I WAS A KID AND I LOVE HER MUSIC, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS SO PERFECT

The cover by Evil Neuro and Camila is amazing!

Coming from someone who was in a violent abusive relationship... loving you was lethal and I guess it made me evil. Cudos to Melanie for epitomizing this. Not a lot of people can say they’ve come out alive from it. Xo

didn’t think it was possible to love a song this much

Mel literally inspired me with this song to throw away my toxic friendship with those girls. They treated me like fucking bullshit, now i dropped them and feel much happier. Thank you melanie ❣️ Edit: i wanted to say that i only have like one true friend that doesn’t really do anything with me but there is a guy in class who had the same problem with me and i think he likes me lmao 👍 Edit: I made up with these girls again since they apologized and now don‘t treat me like that anymore, it took me a lot of time to forgive and be friends again, but it‘s okay now

I hate it when people start walking all over you..Then they just knock you down and punch you to the ground hard (figuratively)..It really hurts my soul when people do that.

Her voices possesses me. It's so haunting and majestic at the same time❤❤❤

This woman taught me what I need to know now, when I was eight. I will forever love Melanie Martinez. ❤

AHHHH ESTABA ESPARANDO ESTE MOMENTO ESTOY TAN FELIZ Y EMOCIONADA,TE AMO MELANIE MARTINEZ

Song slaps, the cover by camila and evil does it justice.

Brasileiros, vamos demonstrar nosso apoio, mostrar que somos muito mais do que os "fãs" que apredrejaram esse conceito, que fizeram chacota do show dela 🤧🤧🤧

I love how all her lyrics have meaning ❤

MELANIE NUNCA DECEPCIONA, GRACIAS POR TREMENDO ÁLBUM MI REINA 💗😭🙏🏻

THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING EYE OPENED SONG I HAVE EVER HERD

This song was stuck in my head and it helped me leave a toxic friend group, people like me are so lucky to be able to grow up, spiritually, mentally, and physically with Melanie's music, your music helps people through stuff, Melanie!

This is the most underrated song in the album. I'm literally obsessed with it.

ESPERE 4 AÑOS PARA ESTO Y AQUÍ ESTÁ, VALIO MUCHO LA PENA LA ESPERA

Her voice... ⏸️😍😍😍

This song reminds me so much of how good it felt to finally cut off my abusive ex.

Melanie has never once given us bad music. She is the most beautiful and talented human being I have ever seen❤❤🥰❣💗

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MEDUSA'S STORY

Wait a second.. I JUST REALIZED THAT EVIL AND VOID HAVE LIKE A KIND OF SIMILAR BEAT 😭

GRACIAS A LOS CHERUBS QUE NUNCA ESCUCHARON MÚSICA FILTRADA NI UNRELEASED, QUE NUNCA CRITICARON A MEL, LE PONÍAN APODOS LINDOS, LA DEFENDÍAN, LE HACÍAN EDITS, TODA MI VIDA HASTA MI MUERTE LOS VOY A AMAR POR HACER POSIBLE QUE MEL SUBA SU MÚSICA SIN TENER MIEDO A QUE LA CRITIQUEN POR QUE SABE QUE ESO LA AYUDA A CRECER, LOS AMOOOO 😭

This means soo much! This part hits me so much ‘I never knew what it meant to be continent with you’ reason is because I had a friend who always blamed everything even drama I didn’t even cause

As someone as an SA survivor this means ALOT to me thank you melanie❤

‼️CRYBABIES, CHERUBS AND EARTHLINGS, PLEASE STREAM PORTALS SO MELANIE CAN WIN THE VMA'S‼️

THIS IS FOR SURE MY EVERYDAY SONG FOR NOW, WE ALL LOVE YOU MELANIE ! 💓🙏🏽😭💯
