I genuinely feel horrible for all the things mel had to go through but I’m glad she made such an amazing album with it

Gosh, I’ve listened to Melanie since I was 12, I’m now 21. Her voice has always sent chills down my spine. Her voice is so unique. It’s so beautiful.

LEECHES is so underrated. A lot of people simply don’t understand what it’s about or how meaningful it is.
Melanie wrote the song about toxic people in LA and Hollywood. A lot of popular artists (who usually live in one if those places) feed off other peoples pain. They can be greedy, only caring about themselves and the money their making. Melanie compares them to leeches, clinching onto people and sucking their blood.
Although I cannot relate to this song, I’m very happy that Mel sang about this topic 🤍🌬️

This has to be the saddest/one of the saddest songs Melanie has ever created. I'm so happy that this song wasn't scrapped too, it's so good and it doesn't deserve to be thrown in the pile of her other unreleased songs.

Leeches ❤
Leeches surrounded
Conscience is throbbin'
They can't sleep at night
Hold their pillows tight
Caught in the river
Of tears that I cried
Bountiful harvest
They flock to my garden
Push their way inside
I go run and hide
They lift all the covers, pull me
Into their sight
Slimy and superficial
Strainin' their artificial
Yappin' to seem official
Makin' it beneficial to their cause
How much blood can you draw with your claws
From a flesh that's not yours?
My hands aren't yours and
Gnaw on my bones, no marrow left
To keep you enthralled
I guess that is the luck of the draw, oh-oh-oh
Let all their friends in
The enemy's present
They don't think too hard
'Bout your fragile heart
They eat off the table that you set
So you starve
Stop all your breathing
No, don't let them see you
They'll find any way
Just to make you stay
Right where they want you
In their piss-covered games
Slimy and superficial
Strainin' their artificial
Yappin' to seem official
Makin' it beneficial to their cause
How much blood can you draw with your claws
From a flesh that's not yours?
My hands aren't yours and
Gnaw on my bones, no marrow left
To keep you enthralled
I guess that is the luck of the draw, oh-oh-oh

Melanie is an honest human. Her music speaks to her experiences and we have a lot to relate to this. Period. Melanie thank you for your dark bringing us light

The fact that in the end I paused the song because I thought it was my parents yelling🧍♀️
This song is heartbreaking, I love it so much, Mel did an amazing job with this album

THE HAUNTING VOCALS, THE INSTRUMENTATION, THE SFX... SHE SERVED A COMPLETE MASTERPIECE

I love how this song is 3:21. Its an angel number meaning encouragement and support. Melanie's spirits are supporting her even in her sad times like in this song.

Heavily underrated. This song made my partner cry. He was confused at first and then you could see the realization. Now he sings this with me whenever it comes on and we tear up everytime. If we look at each other, forget it; waterfall of tears. THIS SONG IS RAW AND REAL!

This song is a catalyst for all the pain and suffering she’s experienced. It acts as a method of cleansing, an outlet for her past negative experiences.

I just know this song is gonna be underrated af, it sounds so incredible, the instrumental and singing is so dark along with the lyircs and sounds like something straight out of royalty. What an incredible track.

I've been listening to this on repeat, blasting it in my ears, for ages.

I don't get why so many people don't like this song or think it's boring, I think it's such a beautiful song, sometimes it makes me cry. Definitely one of my favorites on this album. 🩷✨️

I feel horrible cause I know as a 14 yo exactly what she’s talking about, and it sucks cause most of us don’t get justice, the fact she can make it into a song is sad cause this is probably the way she copes, and as someone who understands I’m here for it cause this is the most underrated song she’s had so far in my perspective, I love you Mel, I swear I understand

I don’t understand why this is everyone’s least favorite. People keep skipping it, but I feel like this is one of Melanie’s most heartbreaking and open songs. I feel like crying every time I listen to it, and you can feel the sadness in her voice. This is so beautiful.
