''Dollhouse'' is about a family that appears to be perfect on the outside looking in, yet it's far from it. In Dollhouse, Cry Baby's mother is an alcoholic due to her husband's infidelity, and her brother has been engulfed in the life of drugs, visualized when they portrayed him smoking cannabis. The daughter, who is named Cry Baby, is the only one that sees the tragedy surrounding her. Her family is visualized as the dolls living inside of a dollhouse that belongs to a little girl. Since the daughter knows the truth about her dysfunctional family, she narrates the song in an attempt to get the girl to see and understand her reality.

You are reading the page dedicated to the song. You may have been wanting to read about the EP or the remix EP with a similar name.

"Dollhouse" is Melanie Martinez's debut single. The music video was released on February 9, 2014, and the song was made available for digital download the following day. It was featured on the Dollhouse EP as the opening track. It is also the second track on Melanie's debut album, Cry Baby, as well as on the Pity Party EP.

Leak History

  • February 13th, 2021 - The complete collection of stems leaked.
  • May 10th, 2021 - The demo version is leaked.

Theme

Dollhouse is about a family that appears to be perfect on the outside looking in, yet it's very far from it. In Dollhouse, Cry Baby's mother is revealed to be an alcoholic due to her husband's infidelity, and her brother smokes cannabis. The daughter, named Cry Baby, is the only one that sees the tragedy surrounding her. Her family is visualized as the dolls living inside of a dollhouse that belongs to a little girl. Since the daughter knows the truth about her dysfunctional family, she narrates the song in an attempt to get the girl to see and understand her reality.

This song has another meaning: how people view celebrities. In an interview, Melanie said, "People put them in glass boxes and think they are perfect and when something happens that shows when they are humans, people don't like that."

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey girl, open the walls
Play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family
When you walk away, is when we really play
You don't hear me when I say
"Mom, please wake up,
Dad's with a slut,
And your son is smoking cannabis"

[Pre-chorus 1]
No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens
Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen

[Chorus]
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains

[Post-Chorus]
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
(D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees)

[Verse 2]
Hey girl, look at my mom, she's got it going on
Ha! You're blinded by her jewelry
When you turn your back
She pulls out a flask
And forgets his infidelity
Uh oh, she's coming to the attic
Plastic, go back to being plastic

[Pre-chorus 2]
No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens
One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen

[Chorus]
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains

[Post-chorus]
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
(D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees)

[Breakdown]
Hey girl (Hey girl X7)
Hey girl, open your walls, play with your dolls
We'll be a perfect family

[Chorus]
Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains

[Post-chorus]
D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees
(D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E
I see things that nobody else sees)
