Melanie Martinez: Dollhouse Meaning
Dollhouse Lyrics
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."
No one...
-
In the song, the family is putting on a "mask" and acting perfect. The reality is far from that. Crybaby's mom is an alcoholic, Crybaby's dad cheats on her mom, and her brother smokes cannabis (which is just marijuana).
So, to sum everything up, the song is basically about how things aren't always what they seem. -
It's how people think her family's perfect, but in reality, they're putting on a "mask."
In the song, Crybaby's family seems so perfect, but the mom is an alcoholic, the dad is cheating on the mom, and her brother is on drugs.
It's a touching song about how things aren't always what they seem. -
Crybaby has found a way to show her fans that no family is perfect. and each family member has a dark secret. The mom is an alcoholic dad is having an affair and the brother is smoking cannabis. I know what she means your mom or dad could hit you then once the guest comes he or she acts as if nothing happened crybaby is the only one who sees the family at its worst.

I can say this song is about mel's family everyone can describe them as the perfect family. but they have a dark side the dad cheats on the mom with another lady the mom is always drunk mel tries to tell her but she won't listen the brother we can describe as a bully who usually smokes and mel she is just innocent she just want's her family to go back into a normal way but it never works so that is what the song is about.
-
This is bascilly telling everyone bout her life this also happens to many people in gernal they say u dont know what happens behid a closed door. Well this is just in this case not everyone life is perfect everyone can lie and pretend
-
This song is about how everyone thinks that her family is perfect but inreality, it's falling apart. And she puts a strong front up so that no one can see what is actually happening.
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
I think it's about how parents are around guests. In some families, your parents can be really angry one moment and have just hit/spanked/yelled/insulted you, then open the door and see a friend or something like that, and then everyone pretends to be angelic once more.

This song is about Crybaby’s abusive family, and how whenever someone sees them they have to “put on their doll faces” and pretend they’re perfect and nothings wrong. But nobody sees what goes down in the kitchen.
People think of (mostly) celebrities as having perfect families, but nobody knows what goes on inside their home. -
Dollhouse is about this family that may look perfect in the outside but in the inside they could be fake as plastic dolls which comes out in the tittle as that ones people see the real family they will be afraid of them but they will never harmed them
-
Crybaby's family acts perfect, but they are far from that. The dad cheats, causing the mother to be depressed and hence an alcoholic, and the brother smokes. Crybaby is the only innocent one, who sees the tragedies that go on inside.
Because her family acts fake, she feels plastic. -
people think this family is perfect, but no one really knows how hard it is for this little girl to swallow her tears that drown her. this family is far from perfect but no one sees because they are blinded by the lies that surround their house. this little girl is afraid of what people may think if they saw what really happened behind the "curtains". and when people start to wonder about the family; they just put on their "doll faces" to assure everything is fine. reality is no one in outside the family is caring enough to peek through the lies and realize that the family is hiding in the dark. this little girl has seen so many terrible things, yet she puts on a smile and pretends like she hasn't saw anything. the family does not care about this little girl, so they do anything and everything in their power to destroy this little girl from the inside out.
-
Crybaby's family acts perfect, but each share a deep secret: The dad cheats, the mom is an alcoholic, and the brother smokes. Crybaby is caught in the middle, and feels that no one listens to her. They're careful not to let anyone see what really goes on, and are overall completely fake.
-
I think it is about how her family isn't perfect like how she wants it to be.like how her family isn't as close as she may want them to be.
-
Dollhouse is about Crybaby's family. Her family looks perfect on the outside. But really the family is horrible, Crybaby's mom is a alcoholic because Crybaby's dad is a cheater and Crybaby's brother is a drug addict. Crybaby all caught up in the middle of this and doesn't know how to get out.
Her family is called "dolls" in the song because her family acts as perfect as dolls when they're not. Everyone thinks they're perfect and believes the fake act they put on for the world.
Melanie Martinez says this song is based off her neighborhood. Kids in her neighborhood had bad families all though their families looked perfect on the outside. All though Melanie's real family wasn't bad. They treated her well. This song just is based off her neighborhood.
