about this song
“MONOLITH”, by Melanie Martinez explores feelings of distress and pressure, as she sings, “I’m a monument, a monolith, a wound cracked open for them to pour salt in”. The lyric shows how she feels like something permanent that people look at and judge, while also feeling hurt and exposed inside. The song shows the pressure of being watched and criticized, and how others’ words and actions can make someone feel both wounded and harmed.
