Background[]
On February 21, 2023, Melanie posted an Instagram story with a timer announcing that the "hatching" of the egg was soon-to-come in the next 12 hours.[1] When the time limit was reached, "THE HATCHING" was posted, depicting Melanie, dressed as the same creature as the prior fetus, breaking out of the egg shell.[2][3][4][5]
Lyrics[]
Follow the tunnel into the portal
Lay all your burdens to rest
Drink from the fountain, death's holy water
Watch as you're put to the test
Follow the tunnel into the portal
Lay all your burdens to rest
Drink from the fountain, death's holy water
Watch as you're put to the test
