Brian Abbott (Drums) and Todd Evans (Guitar) joined them soon after, adding years of touring and studio experience. The band composes and writes for themselves, but their influences and tastes are so diverse that anyone can drink their Kool-aid. Producer Justin Long joined them in 2012 to help them harness the sound in their debut EP, Neighborhoods. Somewhere along the way, they’ve developed their own style of rock, but it’s not so different that it’s unrecognizable. We like to think of it as Clones of Clones, the slightly mutated test tube baby of your favorite rock bands.

Clones of Clones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wouldn't be surprised if she got a new you
That's the way things go they say
All our hearts they melt away
Away
Away
Away
All our hearts they melt
Another day you'll find a good girl
You shouldn't be surprised to hurt her like you were
That's the way things go you'll say
All our hearts they melt away
Away
All our hearts they melt
Away
All our hearts they melt
All our hearts they melt
Away
All our hearts they melt
Away
All our hearts they melt
Away
All our hearts they melt
Away
All our hearts they melt
Away
The lyrics of Clones of Clones's song Melt tell a story of heartbreak and the inevitable loss of love. The opening lines set the tone for the song with "With the way she looks right through you, I wouldn't be surprised if she got a new you." The singer is commenting on how the person he or she is talking about seems to have moved on from their relationship. The line "That's the way things go they say" highlights the commonality of heartbreak and how it's a common thing that people experience in life.
The chorus of the song repeats "All our hearts they melt away" several times. This seemingly simple line expresses the painful feelings that come with the loss of love. It's an emotion that is universally felt regardless of age or experience. The second verse talks about the possibility of finding a new love interest but ultimately predicting the same outcome- "All our hearts they melt away."
The song's lyrics highlight how love and heartbreak are cyclical and how everyone goes through it in some form or another. The lyrics convey the sadness and inevitability of it all, while the catchy melody almost makes it sound like a happy song. It's an insightful song that speaks to the human experience of love and loss.
Line by Line Meaning
With the way she looks right through you
Her gaze is so penetrating that it seems like you are transparent to her
I wouldn't be surprised if she got a new you
If she discarded the current you for a new version, you wouldn't be shocked
That's the way things go they say
It's a common belief that life operates this way
All our hearts they melt away
Everyone's hearts eventually soften and succumb to emotions
Another day you'll find a good girl
In the future, you might encounter a decent person
You shouldn't be surprised to hurt her like you were
It shouldn't come as a shock if you cause her pain like you experienced
All our hearts they melt away
All individuals' hearts will eventually soften and give in to feelings
