Martinez has also stated that "Dollhouse" is a metaphor for how people view celebrities and their seemingly perfect public lives.

[1] "Dollhouse" was revealed to be a prequel to "Sippy Cup", another single from the Cry Baby album that is about an alcoholic mother who decides to kill her husband and his mistress, sparing only her daughter.

[3] The music video for the song was directed by Nathan Scialom & Tom McNamara and uploaded on Martinez's YouTube channel on February 9, 2014.

A visible doll is one that has makeup that is made to look like Martinez, who is playing the character Cry Baby in the video.

Cry Baby describes that, to the outer world, while her mother may seem perfect, she is far from it, as when her husband is out cheating on her with another woman, she drinks away her sorrows.
