    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.

    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?

    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 🤍🌬️

      Yeah, me too. I really thought this song was a skip because I never heard the middle part. It’s a beautiful song. I would put it in top 2. The first part isn’t downbeat and like the rest of the song, that’s would got me set down. One I gave it a full listen it was a really good song. At first, I just listened to the original, and the ‘best’ ones, like ‘Death’ and ‘Void’ which aren’t the best ones by far, they’re just the first ones on the album. ‘I guess it’s just the the luck of the draw’ really captivated my mind. It really summarized what melanie had to go though over the years. In fact, this whole song did. No other song of hers, even outside of the album has this much story behind it. It has the perfect tune and perfect pitch. It even sounds go sped up and backwards, which is a quality that most music does not have. Also, ‘yapping to seem official’ was just a really good lyric. It was the perfect transition to the peak of the song, which is the middle. I know I said before I would put it at top two, but now, I change my mind. It is top 1. It’s the best song in the album. Unlike some songs in this album, it just has the perfect lyrics and tune. So, I agree. This song is very beautiful and did not capture my eye in the first listen, but once I listened to it closely, it became my favorite song in the whole playlist.

How much blood can you draw with your claws is symbolizing to how much information can you get out of me. Also gnaw on my bones no marrow left is saying weve taking all the information out and are waiting for more so we can leak all the information we get.
    Leeches is an amazing song and is very underrated in the album. One of the most beautiful songs and only some people realize it. We love you Melanie❤❤

    I love how Melanie's music is so unique and different from music these days, and how she's not afraid to change her whole aesthetic for the new album. She writes about important topics unlike most artists, who literally just sing about breakups or their lovers and stuff. Mel's music helps me through so much and Im so glad I'm alive the same time that she is

    Lyrics:
    Leeches surrounded, conscience is throbbing
    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
    Straining their artificial yapping to seem official
    Making 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
    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 (Huh)
    No, don't let them see you
    They find any way just to make you stay
    Right where they want you in their piss-covered games
    Slimy and superficial
    Straining their artificial yapping to seem official
    Making 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, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

    Melancholic, dreamy, haunting... Melanie is chilling and absolutely beautiful. I've been a casual listener for a long time, since I got a "Now that's what I call hits" CD. and "Dollhouse" was featured at the very end, because she was that CD's featured new-artist.
    I'd keep playing it over and over.
    They're such a unique and creative individual. And I could feel and hear all of the subliminal messages they put in all of their work. It's very admirable. Like I may invest in this album with how much this genre really matches well with the emotions in her voice.
    I look forward to more works if Melanie still plays around with this music genre. Because I'm enamored with these songs and their incredible vocal power.
    But if she goes back to making fun bops, I'll stick around for those too.

When I do have time to listen to stuff in the background I usually listen to podcast or other KRplus videos.

    LYRICS
    -----------------
    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

    This is one of THE most saddest song mel's ever made. I don't get why people hate this new era of her. She spent 4 years on this , and this is what she gets? If people payed attention to the lyrics like they did in dollhouse ep, crybaby, k-12 AND after school ep. And the soundtrack at the end was terrifying. I like to believe that it was oliver tree screaming, cause if you pay a little attention it kinda sounds like him. The emotion she put in this is amazing. The lyrics are so good that this song was stuck in my head the WHOLE day. The amazing fact about Melanie is that her songs get stuck in your head. ( in a good way) , the hard work and smart work she put in this album is inspiring. Love you mel ❤❤

    [Verso 1]
    Sanguessugas cercaram, consciência está latejando
    Eles não conseguem dormir à noite, seguram forte seus travesseiros
    Pegos nos rios das lágrimas que chorei
    Colheita abundante, eles se reúnem no meu jardim
    Empurram para entrar, eu corro e fujo
    Eles levantam todas as capas, me puxam para seu lado
    [Pré-Refrão]
    Pegajoso e superficial
    Endireitando seu falatório para parecer oficial
    Virando beneficioso para sua causa
    [Refrão]
    Quanto sangue você pode obtеr de suas garras
    De uma carne quе não é sua?
    Minhas mãos não são suas
    E nem meus ossos ou minha vida inteira
    Para te deixar cativado
    Acho que é questão de sorte
    [Verso 2]
    Deixa todos os amigos deles entrarem, o inimigo está presente
    Eles não pensam tanto sobre seu coração frágil
    Eles comem da sua mesa que arrumou para que morra de fome
    Pare de respirar (Huh)
    Não, não deixe-os lhe verem
    Eles encontrarão qualquer forma para que fique
    Justamente onde querem em seus jogos cobertos de mijo
    [Pré-Refrão]
    Pegajoso e superficial
    Endireitando seu falatório para parecer oficial
    Virando beneficioso para sua causa
    [Refrão]
    Quanto sangue você pode obter de suas garras
    De uma carne que não é sua?
    Rói os meus ossos, sem medula restante para te cativar
