"Bridge Troll" is the third track by Melanie Martinez featured on her second studio album, Fairytale Dreams.

Theme[]

This song is based on DFG's real-life struggles with anxiety, using the troll under the bridge from the fairytale The Three Billy Goats Gruff as a metaphor. Eventually, she kills the troll, but his ghost is still haunting her, meaning that the anxiety isn't as bad as it was before.

Lyrics[]

Italics= DFG


Bold= Both


There's a troll under the bridge


That I walk on, tearing it down to its ridge


And the troll, with its sappiness


Makes me pay the toll, with my happiness


There's a bridge, by the great willow


My daughter walks on, 'cause it's the only way to go


And the troll, with its sappiness


Makes her pay the toll, with her happiness


Though she dare not shed a single tear


The troll always makes my daughter freeze in fear


Her feet, they can't move off the ground 


And she longs to be safe and sound


The troll gives her a curse


She begins to fear the worst


Not just afraid of him, but of everything


There's a troll under the bridge


That I walk on, tearing it down to its ridge


And the troll, with its sappiness


Makes me pay the toll, with my happiness


There's a bridge, by the great willow


My daughter walks on, 'cause it's the only way to go


And the troll, with its sappiness


Makes her pay the toll, with her happiness


Under the bridge, there's a troll, troll Bridge, bridge Troll, troll


Under the bridge, there's a troll, troll Bridge, bridge Troll, troll


So I walked to the gates of house eleven


To get some help, and maybe some weapons


 I'll find ingredients where the bluebird sings


That should break the curse, some potions and things


Not just afraid of him, but of everything


There's a troll under the bridge


That I walk on, tearing it down to its ridge


And the troll, with its sappiness


Makes me pay the toll, with my happiness


There's a bridge, by the great willow


My daughter walks on, 'cause it's the only way to go


And the troll, with its sappiness


Makes her pay the toll, with her happiness


Under the bridge, there's a troll, troll Bridge, bridge Troll, troll


Under the bridge, there's a troll, troll Bridge, bridge Troll, troll


There's a troll under the bridge


That I walk on, tearing it down to its ridge


Even though the troll was killed


His ghost, it haunts me still



Music Video[]

The music video essentially illustrates the song. Sophia is walking over the bridge, where she is confronted by Zayne the Bridge Troll, who puts a curse on Sophia that makes her afraid of everything. Sophia then goes to House Number Eleven, where she gathers ingredients to drink a potion that gets rid of the curse, then kills the troll, however his ghost still haunts her at the end.

Trivia[]

  • House Number Eleven is a reference to the fact that DFG was born in November, which is the eleventh month.
