Melt
Chet Faker feat. 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 lyrics of "Melt" by Chet Faker feat. Kilo Kish speak about an intense and dysfunctional relationship. The singer is trapped in a cycle of attraction and disappointment with their partner, who seems to enjoy breaking them down despite their beautiful appearance. The partner's beauty, represented by their white teeth, contrasts with the pain they cause the singer, symbolized by the image of broken bones. The singer feels like they are wasting their time with this person, but cannot resist their allure, which seems to have a dangerous effect on them. The partner plays hot and cold, leaving the singer alone whenever they want to rest or pretending to care when they want to appease them. However, the singer cannot shake the feeling that they are being used or manipulated, and their loneliness adds another layer of complexity to the relationship. They feel like they are losing themselves and their sense of purpose in chasing after someone who may not be worth it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess," suggesting that the singer's attachment to their partner is both pleasurable and painful, akin to a drug addiction. They know that they should break it off and move on, but the allure of the partner's beauty and the thrill of the chase keeps them hooked. The final lines of the song repeat the word "overdose," which could refer to an actual overdose of drugs or to the singer's emotional state of being overwhelmed and unable to handle the intensity of the situation.
Overall, "Melt" is a powerful depiction of a toxic relationship that is both alluring and destructive. The imagery of broken bones, melting happiness, and circles in the brain creates a vivid atmosphere of pain and confusion, while the contrast between beauty and danger adds to the complexity of the emotions involved.

Been working hard to drop me inside
You've been trying to break me down and make me feel small and vulnerable
Our dreams breaking all, breaking all my bones
Our relationship is destroying me and causing me physical and emotional pain
Before I break it off, I break it off alone
I am going to end this relationship on my own terms and without your influence

Help me breath, you're breaking up my speech
While you smile at me, you got the whitest teeth
You won't leave me alone, every time I rest you're in my head
Breaking bones, Breaking bones
You make me lose my time, fall all over the words
I'm not the kind of one to lose myself in the hunt
You gotta move and your body is the shape I want
And everything you say is on fire
You've got the easiest position to destroy my life
All you have to do is arrive
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
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, your so hot
It's no excuse to make my pulse stop
I need a bit of coffee and a warm sun
Dusty ideas only half spun
The verse I'm singing only half sung
Half flirting and I'm half sprung
Didn't mean to let it drift this far
Playing hard to get, you're playing your guitar
Damn, you should be so shy
Been working hard to drop me inside
I've 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 kinder way to gain, it leaves me
