Demi Lovato - Melon Cake songtekst
Over deze songtekst:
Over het lied zegt ze zelf: "I used to eat melon cake on my birthday in place of an actual birthday cake. It was this watered-down, diet version of a birthday cake that was basically fat-free 'Cool Whip' or coconut cream on top of a watermelon cut like a cake. It was never the vibe. The song is me saying goodbye to melon cake."
Speaking with Ellen DeGeneres during a March 2020 conversation Lovato also revealed, "I just felt like my life was so—and I hate to use this word—but it felt, like, controlled by so many people around me. If I was in my hotel room at night, they would take the phone out of the hotel room so I couldn't call room service. Or if there was fruit in my room, they took it out because that's extra sugar."
Demi werd door haar vroegere management team sterk gecontroleerd of zij zich wel aan haar dieet hield.
There was a time I was living as a prisoner inside my own mind And there was a time Where the cat and mouse tried to make me Barbie sized and I obliged Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred degree heat People out here getting fired for chocolate in the back seat (True story) I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap People always hung around who only wanted skin deep And now I'm saying No more melon cakes on birthdays No more barricades in doorways Finally get to do things my way La-la-la-la-la-la-la You could find me Starving for attention most days Amongst others things, God help me Finally get to do things my way La-la-la-la-la-la-la No more melon cake There was a time I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine But I wouldn't wish Those thoughts on my worst enemy They make you wish you don't exist Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred degree heat People out here getting fired for chocolate in the back seat I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap People always hung around who only wanted skin deep And now I'm saying No more melon cakes on birthdays No more barricades in doorways Finally get to do things my way La-la-la-la-la-la-la You could find me Starving for attention most days Amongst others things, God help me Finally get to do things my way La-la-la-la-la-la-la No more melon cake No more melon cake No more melon cake No more melon cake Dear little me I'm sorry that it took so long But, baby, you're free And now I'm saying No more melon cakes on birthdays No more barricades in doorways Finally get to do things my way La-la-la-la-la-la-la You could find me Starving for attention most days Amongst others things, God help me Finally get to do things my way La-la-la-la-la-la-la No more melon cake
