      Idk if it's the opposite of MOST of her songs because she usually uses her normal voice in the verses and chorus, but I definitely see it being the "opposite" of Lunchbox Friends tho.

  • @hira7057
    @hira7057 Před rokem +189

    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.

      Feeling this so hard right now. Im watching my childhood bestfriend slowly die while shes starting to hate me for taking a step back when I did my damnedest. I cant be the only person she relies on and she cant make me watch her die in silence. I made sure her mother was updated full transparency on everything and that shed have that support system while I took time. I think she thought my break was going to be like 2 weeks, not the month 1/2 ive taken so far. We left off on alright terms but this morning I woke up to a text abt how I left her when it got bad, as though I wasnt there all the other times functioning under her 'rules'. I'm pretty sure she was high/drunk when she sent it to me. It hurts when she acts like I didnt try. I really did and still love her very much, but when I set a boundary and she acts like its all over its hard on my mental health either way when trying to guess if its her or the drugs. I dont like when she acts like she knows me better than I know myself. It feels like I'm being put down. She has a boyfriend thats also very toxic and they feed off eachother addictions as well. It hurts. And I think I'm going to have to take a permanent step back soon. She thinks I left her so easily. Its not easy. It hurts. Sometimes I wish it was easy to leave her behind in my life. I know I'm not personally responsible for anyones happiness but its so hard watching her waste away to drugs. And that terrible boyfriend that she refuses to leave. You can only do so much. And deal with the guilt afterwards. I'm glad to see a comment like yours. It makes me feel seen and less alone. Thank you for that.

      @@chocolattefeverdreams4228 Thank you so much for sharing, just know you gave the best anyone could offer. It truly is their own decision whether they want to walk down that road or not. You scream for them to turn around until you can't anymore because your voice is exhausted. Both the screaming and exhaustion eat you up inside, so, sometimes it's better to let your voice relax. You offered everything you could and they chose not to take it, so please relax your voice. I do hope your friend is in a better place now and she's recognized she's hurting herself and as well others around her. Once again, thank you for sharing your story and you are never alone.

    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?"
    You glamorize your pain, wear it on display
    [Pre-Chorus]
    And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself
    I opened a million doors, you never go
    It's past point of no return, when will we learn?
    Alert me, when this shit is over
    [Chorus]
    Lying loud (Through it all)
    Cut your face (From the fall)
    When you're hurt (Who'd you call?)
    I can't answer now
    Spent the rent (On a kitе)
    One-way street (To the scythe)
    Clean it up (Watch it diе)
    It's yours to decide
    [Post-Chorus]
    Powder, pow-pow-powder
    Powder, pow-pow-powder
    [Verse 2]
    Show me a picture you paint of someone else
    Lived a double life, wish I was surprised
    Eyes rollin' back to your head, and I'm wonderin', "How?"
    I recognized your face, put it all to waste
    [Pre-Chorus]
    And I know it's a cry for help, go help yourself
    I opened a million doors, you never go
    It's past point of no return, when will we learn?
    Alert me, when this shit is over
    [Chorus]
    Lying loud (Through it all)
    Cut your face (From the fall)
    When you're hurt (Who'd you call?)
    I can't answer now
    Spent the rent (On a kite)
    One-way street (To the scythe)
    Clean it up (Watch it die)
    It's yours to decide

    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.

    • @pastelbluebell
      @pastelbluebell Před rokem +22

      @@sss-hq6ys Hmm, I think there's a deep context to it all, but what I took from this song was the topic of drug addiction. It may be directed universally, but Melanie perhaps be directing this song to a certain someone.
      "Blood falling out from your nose and I'm wonderin "How?"" Refers to when someone intakes these substances causing nose bleeds, in which Melanie might be left feeling astonished or annoyed.
      "Eyes Rollin back and I'm wonderin, "How?"" Refers to a possible overdose, and Melanie questions why they would let themselves get to this point.
      The Pre-Chorus of the song to me referred to Melanie trying to be there for this person, but they ingnore her help. Ignores her well being, and how she is effected by all of this.
      I also took, 3:00 as a sound of someone intaking through their nose.
      Overall, the "Powder" may refer to drugs, in the form of a powdery substance. I thought those were key lyrics/points, so those were just my two cents from the song. I hope that somewhat helps! ^_^

    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

    I opened a million doors, you never go
    It's past point of no return, when will we learn?
    Alert me when this shit is over
    [Chorus]
    Lying loud (Through it all)
    Cut your face (From the fall)
    When you're hurt (Who'd you call?)
    I can't answer now

    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!

    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.

    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.

    As someone who's struggled with addiction and lost friends and family to addiction, this song hits so hard. The first time I listened to it it was like a punch in the gut, but in a good way, if that makes sense? Anyway, Ms Martinez is always my favorite singer, the way she articulates and strings the words together is beautiful
