The hype of LA's press pushed the band on a tour of the west coast in it's first six months of existence and then in 1992, making their move to the Emerald city of Seattle where they based it as their home.
Melt
Black Atmosphere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck inside
Don't know why these 4 walls melt
Turn up to fly
Look down into your soul
Look where you really are
You and me, we can see
Two shadows of grey
Look deep inside
My eyes are open wide
Into your world becomes one
The lyrics to Black Atmosphere's song "Melt" seem to be describing a feeling of confinement and the desire to escape from it. The singer is "Stuck inside" and doesn't know why these "4 walls melt" - perhaps indicating a sense of disorientation or loss of stability. The line "Turn up to fly" suggests a desire to transcend these limitations and explore new possibilities.
The second verse seems to suggest a sense of connection between the singer and another person. "You and me, we can see / Leave this world behind" suggests a shared desire for escape or transcendence. The line "Two shadows of grey" could be interpreted as meaning that the two individuals are united and inseparable, even if they may not be conventionally "bright" or colorful in their outlooks. The line "Into your world becomes one" suggests that the singer feels a deep sense of connection and understanding with this other person.
Overall, the lyrics to "Melt" seem to be about a desire to transcend limitations and connect with others on a deeper level. The song seems to suggest that there is a way out of confinement and that true connection with others is possible, even in difficult circumstances.
