Melanie Martinez attracted the attention of a large audience in 2012. At this time, she became a member of the American show "Voice", in which the girl performed covers of already famous hits.
Secret of success
Judges and spectators of “Voice” were able to appreciate its appearance, voice and artistic presentation. This was enough for the participant to advance quite far in the project.
Real trials for artists begin after the show ends, when the artificially created hype subsides. Mediocre artists are quickly forgotten, but Melanie Martinez managed to get to the top of the music top charts outside the framework of the television project. The singer began to perform exclusively with compositions of her own composition. Listeners fell in love with Melanie Martinez for a harmonious combination of light sound with a sad, and sometimes deep content.

1 verse:
Hey baby, open the house
Play with the dolls.
We will be a wonderful family.
When you go out
We play big ...
You do not hear when I say:
“Mom, wake up!
Father with a prostitute
And your son smokes weed "
Bridge:
No one hears.
The wallpaper is shining ...
Do not let anyone know what is happening in the kitchen.
Chorus:
Places, keep your places.
Pull on your dress and put on your doll face!
They think we are perfect.
Please do not let them see through the curtains.
Photography - smile for the photo.
Pose with your brother, do you really want to be a good sister?
They think we are perfect.
Please do not let them see through the curtains.
Dollhouse.
I see what no one else sees.
Dollhouse.
I see what no one else sees.
Verse 2:
Hey baby, look at my mother.
She has everything ...
Ha! You were blinded by her jewelry.
Should you turn your back
And she will get a flask
To forget about his betrayal.
Oh, she goes to the attic, faux,
To return faux.
Bridge:
No one hears.
The wallpaper is shining ...
One day they will find out what's going on in the kitchen.
Chorus (same).
Verse 3:
Hey baby open the house
Play with the dolls.
We will be a wonderful family.
Chorus (same).

Lyrics for Melanie Martinez Carousel in Russian.
Chorus:
We spin and spin like horses on a carousel.
Will I catch love? I can never convey, I know ...
Chasing you like a fairy tale, but I
I feel glued to the carousel.
1 verse:
Come, come, come all!
You must be very tall
To ride and ride this carnival!
Oh come come take my hand
And ran through the playland -
So high, too high here at the carnival!
Bridge:
And it's all fun and exciting
Until someone falls in love
But you already bought a ticket
And there is no way to return.
Chorus (same)
Verse 2:
My horse is too slow
We are always so close
Almost, almost, we freakshaw!
As soon as I get close,
You seem to disappear.
Where are you disappearing? Darling, you freakshaw!
Bridge and chorus (same).
New Bridge:
Why did you steal my heart from cotton candy?
You threw it into this damn coin slot,
And now I'm glued, glued
I am spinning, spinning, spinning.
