Zitate und Songtexte von Melanie Martinez

I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

You seem to replace your brain with your heart
You take things so hard and then you fall apart
You try to explain, but before you can start
Those cry baby tears come out of the dark

Someone's turning the handle to that faucet in your eyes
You pour it out where everyone can see
Your heart's too big for your body, it's why it won't fit inside
You pour it out where everyone can see

Oh, spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close
Trying to learn and evolve

I'm so done with playing piggyback
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny

I love everything you do
When you call me f*cking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you

There are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives.

I'm not crazy - my reality is just different from yours.

There is a place like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger. Some say to survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter.

Lord Beckett: "You're mad!"
Jack Sparrow: "Well thats good, cause if I wasn't, this'd probably never work."

You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

Let us consider that we are all partially insane. It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles.

No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.

In order to find some solution to the bullying problem, we’ll have to be more tolerant of ambiguity, subtlety, and strangeness not just in other people but in ourselves. It may be important to your identity that you are a soccer player, but it may be equally important that you can whistle the national anthem backward and make the world’s best spicy popcorn and do a wicked impression of Victoria Beckham. Schools, parents, and educational endeavors should encourage people not just to empathize but to discover and celebrate the weirdness in others and in ourselves. We need not just to think but to live outside the box. Weirdness is good. It keeps things interesting.

Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age.

Normality is a paved toad; It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow.

We all go a little mad sometimes.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Taking crazy things seriously is a serious waste of time.

Take your job seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously.

We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance

Don't you think we got another season
That come after spring?
I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave
Treat me like a comma
I'll take you to a new phrase

And I know there's no makin' this right, this right
And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind
But we both found each other tonight, tonight
So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me, waste it on me

She was sayin', "Come get me"
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "Baby, let's go"
When I told her, I said
Yeah, yeah

'Cause I, I, I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shinin' through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite

This is gettin' heavy, can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready
Life is sweet as honey, yeah, this beat cha-ching like money

Deep down, you know it's best for yourself, but you
Hate the thought of her bein' with someone else
But you know that it's over, we knew it was through
Let it burn, let it burn, gotta let it burn

It's the thought of being young
When your heart's just like a drum
Beating louder with no way to guard it
When it all seems like it's wrong
Just sing along to Elton John
And to that feeling, we're just getting started

Side step, right, left to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap
