In an interview with Artist Direct, Melanie said “Mad Hatter” is about “being okay with being crazy”:
[Cry Baby] wouldn’t have it any other way. That is who she is and cannot fight it. That’s how I am at this point.
She also told Noisey Vice that the song is “very lyrical, very hip-hop. I wanted i...
[Verse 1]
My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun
Poppin', poppin' balloons with guns
Getting high off helium
We paint white roses red
Each shade from a different person's head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with the blue caterpillar
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are
[Verse 2]
Where is my prescription?
Doctor, doctor, please listen
My brain is scattered
You can be Alice, I'll be the Mad Hatter
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
[Bridge]
You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone
So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are
And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone
It's probably the reason that we get along
[Chorus]
I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are
Mad Hatter was written by Aalias & Frequency & Kinetics & Melanie Martinez.
Melanie Martinez released Mad Hatter on Fri Aug 14 2015.
Martinez told Fuse:
‘Mad Hatter’ is [Cry Baby] completely becoming comfortable with who she is, and what she’s about, and her just being a crazy person. And basically accepting the fact that all the best people are crazy. It was very inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
She also told Noisey:
