The fact that this is her least popular song breaks me. It's just so good.

I'm devastated that so many people don't see how beautiful this song is :(

I'm so happy she's releasing more songs 😭 I definitely wasn't expecting it this soon right after the new album, SHE'S SO AMAZING

LYRICS 🖤🖤🖤🖤 [Intro] Powder, pow-pow-powder Powder, pow-pow-powder [Verse 1] Don't wanna know where you go when you're aren't around Rather stay naive, too much to believe Blood falling out from your nose and I'm wonderin', "How?"

the fact that you gave us a deluxe version not even a week after the album came out SCREAMS how much dedication she’s put into this album ❤️. i love this woman 😆😆❤️❤️❤️

This album is no longer just music, it’s my way of life

She is a triple threat, she writes, she produces, she sings beautifully, she can dance, she makes movies

had a boyfriend that was addicted to coke and i genuinely feel this song. im not even attached to him or anything like that, dont even think about him anymore. but damn. these lyrics really resonated with me

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

The reasong why the voice is so deep is to represent the drgs that male you feel high.the producing is so genius honestly

unpopular opinion: this is such a good song Melanie put her blood, sweat, tears, heart, work into. Truly amazing and educational 💗💗🍄🍄

THE FACT THAT YOU GAVE US MORE ONLY 4 DAYS AFTER RELEASING PORTALS. IM IN LOVE WITH THIS WHOLE ALBUM. I LOVE THE WHOLE NEW STYLE OF MUSIC AND I LOVE THE NEW LOOK AND EVERYTHING THAT WENT INTO THIS ALBUM!!! I LOVE U SO MUCH MELANIE

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. If you dont like it then f*cking scroll.

As someone who just overcame a battle with a drug addiction, this is probably my new favourite song from this album. This song really speaks to me. ❤

You know that feeling when a song is so good it physically hurts? well I feel it with this one.

melanie was who i grew up with. my safe place is listening to her songs. i started listening to her in about 2016 and after that i couldn’t stop i had around 4 birthday party themes dedicated to her. i love you❤️

I really didn’t expect her to use this deep voice for the whole song ❤❤ love this

I’m so proud of Melanie for feeling comfortable expressing her new form and self, I don’t think people really truly listen to her songs. The lyrics are beautiful but have deep meaning behind it, I hope she’s okay! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU MELANIE!!🌿💗

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.

It's insane how Mel is creating a whole new aesthetic and almost a new universe with her album. This is beyond inspirational ❤🍄

This album came in perfect time for a new era and life reset, and contains some of the best work melanie has done. It's so good

Melanie is seriously such a amazing person, I’m glad to be apart of this era and to also be attending her upcoming concert in June!!

god, this is such an emotional rollercoaster. powder explores the struggles of being in a relationship with a drug addict. when somebody is addicted to drugs, it can be hard for them to stop. she understands that sometimes people who are addicted don’t want to quit, but internally know they need to. shes such a lyrical genius.

ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE?!?!?!?

She's not just some alternative artist, she's the whole generation!

This song makes me feel like I’m on a soft cloud, the sky is pink and the atmosphere is just beautiful

My husband has a friend who keeps falling back into coke no matter how much people help him. My husband recently had to cut contact even though they've been like brothers since they were kids (the guy even lived with him for years in high school) i showed my husband this song and he loved it. He really resonated with it. Drug addictions never just hurt the person doing them.

stanning melanie martinez isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. it’s art

I didn’t like this song when I first listened to it but I didn’t pay enough attention to the lyrics. So beautiful, she always does phenomenal

started listening to her when i was 10 i’m 18 now it’s crazy how i used to relate to her crybaby album back then and now i can relate to this i feel like i’m growing with her

I swear my ADHD brain is so whack, my first time listening to this song it didn't hit with me in the first few seconds, so i kinda tossed it aside and never touched it again, but i just gave it another listen and sat through the entire song and now it's surgically attached to my brain, i can't stop listening 😭

I dont know how she makes all of her songs so powerful and beautiful all at once. She is a lyrical genius and just so amazing like how?!💗i love Melanie

It’s very rare a song will make emotional but this song brings a tears to my eyes. It’s truly beautiful and a perfect way to explain the pain of losing your loved to their their addiction

Unpopular opinion: this might be my favorite song of the album ;)

is this anyone else’s favorite song from the album or am i alone 😭

song hits SO HARD when you have someone who’s just like she describes in the song

i’m so disappointed how underrated this song is. it’s a very beautiful song and makes me literally levitate every time i listen to it😭🙏 the instrumental of this song is magical. 💖

Melanie is not a nymph, she embodies a goddess. 💜

This is the best album I've heard in years 🥹 so proud of Mel! I've been a stan since her The Voice days, I love how her sound has matured over the years

OMG!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE SHE ACTUALLY RELEASED THIS SO SOON!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH OMGGG

MY GOD, she touched my heart with this one... the lyrics and meaning, so powerful. It feels like she knows that I needed to hear those words bc I'm having a very bad time in my life... I'm really going to try to help myself. Hugs if u are trying too 💜

as someone who has many loved ones dealing with drug addiction. I cry when I listen to this song thank you melanie martinez, I love your music and you are a friendly human being. you saved my life at its lowest. ❤

ESTA MUJER NUNCA SE CANSA DE BENDECIR NUESTROS OÍDOS

NO ERES UNA ETAPA, NUNCA LO FUISTE, ERES UN ESTILO DE VIDA, SIEMPRE SERÁS PARTE DE NOSOTROS 😭😭💗💗💗

We all love this icon she has always been true to herself and she has become such a beautiful artist and she never fails to surprise us with something new!! WE LOVE YOU MELLLL

I went to the portals tour on 22/11 in Warsaw and i was screaming my heart out on powder, its such a beautiful song 😭😭😭

Melanie has evolved tremendously, her creativity never fails, her light shines so bright, every song she creates has such deep meaning and how they all align with one another is such a magical creation, ILY Melanie ❤❤

MELANIE DROPPING BANGERS LEFT AND RIGHT

She’s just so talented. She deserves all the recognition!! 🤍

Why is this not Melanie’s like popular songs it’s so good 😭🤚

this is the stand out of the deluxe tracks for me. the production, vocals, and how edited it sounds while still sounding so human… incredible!

Melanies not sugar coating for the people who wont help themselves, this is tough love for growth some people have shells for really scary reasons and thats some people’s downfalls this songs addressing just escapism in general and how we see the beauty in it to give us comfort, yes its some peoples outlet but some people dont make the choice to come back and emphasizing “SOME” because its legit mojority of social habits

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

when it’s 9pm, throat aching, in the car in traffic, loud beeping, crying, this song hits.

MELANIE NUNCA DECEPCIONA!!❤❤❤❤❤

Who is Melanie Martinez ? To the blind, She is the light. To the hungry, She is bread. To the sick, She is the cure. To the lonely, She is company. To the sad, She is joy. To the prisoner, She is freedom. For the poor, She is treasure. For me, She is everything. edit: Yall do too much this is a joke comment

Botón para expresar lo mucho q amas a esta diosa perfecta

Is it just me or the little whistles on the chorus is so beautiful. I remember first listening to this song and gasping bc of that one whistle. Thank u Melanie.

This song is so addictive 😭☺️

this feels so ethereal

i love how mel is branching out with her music in this album. i really love hearing the new sounds and the storyline her new character is following

"and I know it's a cry for help--go help yourself I opened a million doors, you never go" this lyric hits hard.

Such an amazing and heart breaking song. As someone that battled with addiction, you don’t really see or realize what it’s doing to those around you until it’s too late. 😭

Mel nunca fuiste una etapa, siempre te vamos a amar 💕 todo lo que haces es arte

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.

This song makes me cry when I hear the chorus

This is probably one of my favorite songs of the whole album. Something about it just speaks so much to me

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.

Pra quem não entendeu a distorção na voz: A música é sobre uma pessoa que usa drogas. A personagem que está cantando diz em determinado trecho: E eu sei que é um pedido de ajuda Mas garoto, se ajude Te abri um milhão de portas e você nunca entrou Já está além do ponto de retorno, quando vamos aprender? Me avise quando essa merda terminar. Portanto, a distorção é proposital. É o drogado quem está escutando a outra pessoa avisando ele para parar. E ele ouve de forma distorcida, porque está sobre o efeito de drogas. E isso torna essa canção milhares de vezes ainda melhor e a Melanie, genial.

Nope I can’t anymore SHE NEEDS A GRAMMY THIS IS WAY TO GOOD.

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 💗

this instrumental is magical

1 year ago and I still can’t get over this album 🧚💕

This song made me cry 😢😢

ESTE ALBUM ES COMO VIAJAR A OTRA DIMENSION, ES INCREIBLE.

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.

This song is beyond incredible, I felt so many emotions during it. I’m so happy to have this song in my life ❤

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. 🤍🕯️

I don't understand why this song is so underrated, is so beautiful to me, so ethereal. It is my number one of the entire album even though the people disagree and doesn't like it

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.

i legit had a dream where she released another song and it sounded just like this 😭

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

Ive finally understood the song after 7 months, and i think it may be my fav song of the album now

*Melanie can turn ANYTHING into a song ❤*

i didn't even know the deluxe album was coming out tonight then i got the notification and bursted with excitement😭

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

"when will we learn?" Makes me want to cry...😭

I dont normally listen to full albums but Mel is the exception. This entire album is seriously just jaw dropping. Thank you for these meaningful and lovely songs 💖

She really poured her heart out and made an amazing album. She definitely took extra time to make this album perfect.

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

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 is SO underrated

no entiendo a la gente que no le gusta melanie si sus canciones son increíbles :0

Cadê os BRs??? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💗💗💗 Muito amor pra esse doce de pessoa melzinha.

this song is criminally underrated. it is a fucking MASTERPIECE. it’s so angelic and i wish more people knew about it or at least talked about it more! (also she sounds like a wind instrument and i honestly love it)

Botón para expresar lo increíble y talentosa que es Melanie 🛐✨️😭
