"Death" is an unreleased song by Melanie Martinez. It was intended to be featured on her third studio album, PORTALS, but was later scrapped. This song has not been performed live or officially released. The song was remade into DEATH.
Theme:
This song centered around regret and the pain of losing someone. The lyrics express the intense emotional turmoil and guilt someone experiences after losing someone close to them. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and hopelessness as the narrator grapples with the realization that they took the person and the time they shared for granted. The line "Death has come, it knocks on my door like a stalker" further emphasizes the haunting nature of death and the deep impact it can have on those left behind.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can't sleep, I won't eat
You're perishing before me
I'm panicked and rot at the core
Your words, they still haunt me
Like shadows on the concrete
The pain spreads like vines in my bones
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't tell me that you're going far away like that
I thought that distance was a string that would lead us back
Now I'm in the middle contemplating what my fickle heart
Really gained from the way that I left it with you
[Chorus]
Death has come
It knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I’d put the pieces back
But I burned all my chances
Took good time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen
[Verse 2]
I hide in your corners
Peek over your shoulders
It's strange how you're missing me now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Heart's breaking 'cause I'm going far away like that
You thought that distance was a string that would lead us back
Now you're in the middle contemplating what your fickle heart
Really gained from the way that you left it with me
[Chorus]
Death has come
It knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I’d put the pieces back
But I burned all my chances
Took good time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen
[Verse 1]
Can't sleep, I won't eat
You're perishing before me
I'm panicked and rot at the core
Your words, they still haunt me
Like shadows on the concrete
The pain spreads like vines in my bones
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't tell me that you're going far away like that
I thought that distance was a string that would lead us back
Now I'm in the middle contemplating what my fickle heart
Really gained from the way that I left it with you
[Chorus]
Death has come
It knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I’d put the pieces back
But I burned all my chances
Took good time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen
[Verse 2]
I hide in your corners
Peek over your shoulders
It's strange how you're missing me now

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Vocalizing)
Now you’re in the middle contemplating what your fickle
Heart really gained from the way that you left it with me
[Chorus]
Mm-mm
It knocks on your door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, you’d put the pieces back
But you burned all your chances
Took your time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much you’re regretting, oh
Next time, you’ll listen
