The third song to be teased through an egg containing a snippet that was sent to a fan, “BATTLE OF THE LARYNX” is set to be released on Melanie’s upcoming album, PORTALS, as track 8. The song was teased via Melanie’s TikTok on March 8th 2023
The teaser had the following caption:
“POV you’re a dude...
[Verse 1]
Falling asleep by the arcade
Liquor it jumps off your tongue
You used all your words for a quick game
Blew it all before you won
I speak in cursive, I'm poignant, assertive
There's musical chairs in my teeth
Poke me to battle, I'll jump on the saddle
I'll smile as you fall to your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor
[Chorus]
How stupid, selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
I'll wreck you if you chase me
But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
[Verse 2]
Call all your guys in the dive bar
They'll give you the validation
Your daddy could never bestow you
While bloody, they'll tell you you've won
[Pre-Chorus]
And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor
[Chorus]
How stupid, selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
I'll wreck you if you chase me
But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
And they talk without thinkin'
They bark while they're shakin'
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they're chasin'
While I'm steady-pacin'
My syllables hit the floor
[Chorus]
How stupid, selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
I'll wreck you if you chase me
But I'll be silent 'til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don't you battle with my larynx tonight
[Instrumental Outro]
BATTLE OF THE LARYNX was written by Melanie Martinez.
BATTLE OF THE LARYNX was produced by CJ Baran.
Melanie Martinez released BATTLE OF THE LARYNX on Fri Mar 31 2023.
This was the last song that was written and added to the album. I wrote this one to be about two different conflict styles: one person who yells a bunch of nothing really loudly to try and intimidate, and the other who can calmly and concisely use their words and wit to prove their point.
