Melt
Chet Faker Kilo Kish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While you smile at me you've got the whitest teeth
You leave me alone every time I rest here my head
Breaking bones, Breaking bones
You make me lose my time, fall all over the words
I'm not the kind to lose myself and behind
You gotta move and your body is the shape I want
Everything you say is on fire
All you have to do is arrive
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Run in circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
Wasting my time with you, no
This only way to sunshine in my watch
Wasting my time with you, stop
I'll be erasing my mind, what you've got
Too much nerve coming into here
Turning loose and make a murder fear
God damn, boy, you so hot
It's no excuse to make my pole stop
I need a bit of coffee and a warm side
Dusty ideas only have spots
The verse I'm singing only half sung
High fretting in the mob's brow
Didn't mean to let it drift this far
I'm playing hard to get, you're playing your guitar
Damn, you should be so shy
Been working hard to drop me inside
Our dreams breaking all, breaking all my bones
Before I break it off, I break it off alone
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Run in circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess,
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Run in circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
The song "Melt" by Chet Faker talks about a toxic relationship where one person is so consumed by the other that they lose their own identity, happiness, and sense of time. The song implies that the other person is manipulative and controlling and yet the singer is still drawn to them. The lyrics use metaphors such as "breaking bones" and "melt my happiness" to represent the physical and emotional damage caused by this relationship.
The first two lines of the song are particularly interesting in their contrast. The words "help me, please" and "you're breaking on my speech" seem to be at odds with each other. It's as if the singer is pleading for help but also unsure of what to say because of the other person's influence. Similarly, the line "everything you say is on fire" gives additional weight to the idea that the other person is manipulative, but also suggests a certain level of admiration from the singer.
The chorus of the song includes the repeated line "melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess". This line is both haunting and powerful, conveying the idea that the singer has lost control of their emotions and is consumed by the other person's influence. The word "overdose" at the end of the chorus reinforces the idea that this relationship is toxic and has gone too far.

I'll be erasing my mind, what you've got
I need to forget about you and what you represent
Too much nerve coming into here
You're being bold and pushy by invading my space
Turning loose and make a murder fear
You're causing me to feel threatened and fearful
God damn, boy, you so hot
You're physically attractive, but it doesn't mean I want to be around you
It's no excuse to make my pole stop
Your looks don't make up for your negative impact on me
I need a bit of coffee and a warm side
I need something comforting to deal with my feelings towards you
Dusty ideas only have spots
My ideas and thoughts are outdated and ineffective
The verse I'm singing only half sung
I'm not fully expressing myself or conveying what I want to say
High fretting in the mob's brow
I'm worried and anxious about the people around me
Didn't mean to let it drift this far
I didn't intend for things to get so complicated or negative between us
I'm playing hard to get, you're playing your guitar
I'm trying to distance myself from you, but you're still trying to charm or impress me
Our dreams breaking all, breaking all my bones
Our shared goals and aspirations are causing me emotional pain
Before I break it off, I break it off alone
I'll end things between us before you have a chance to hurt me further

I'm playing hard to get your playing your guitar
Damn, you should be so shy
Been working hard to drop me inside
I had dreams of breaking all, breaking all my bones
Before I break it off, I break it off alone
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kind of waiting game that leaves me
Running circles into my brain
Hell, my loneliness will take no part in this
