Melt
Alison's Halo Lyrics

The song "Melt" by Alison's Halo is an introspective ballad that seems to be about a journey of self-discovery and self-doubt. The lyrics describe a sense of being in awe of someone else's beauty while feeling uncertain about one's own worth. The singer is "hurried" to be by someone's side, implying urgency, but the person is "deep in sleep," and so the singer is left alone with their thoughts and doubts. The "only wish" the singer has is left on the person's cheek, indicating perhaps a sense of unrequited love or a desire for closeness that cannot be fulfilled.

The second verse continues with a sense of amazement at the beauty around the singer, "all the glitter spin over me", and how it seems to reflect the person's beauty "shimmer catches you underneath". However, despite all the light and beauty, the singer feels like they don't know the person fully "could never even know/ever even show". The chorus repeats, with the singer watching the person "melt from sight" and dissolve "with a burst of spectral sight", ending with a sense of mystery and wonder.

Overall, "Melt" seems to be a song about feeling inadequate and uncertain while being awestruck by the beauty of someone else. The singer grapples with doubts and insecurities while being captivated by the world around them, leading to a sense of mysticism and wonder.
