Melt
Faker Chet 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 is a love ballad that speaks of the struggles that sometimes come with trying to make a relationship work. The lyrics are primarily about a person who is trying to hold onto his happiness and sense of self while being in a relationship that is emotionally draining. The opening line, “Help me, please, you're breaking on my speech”, indicates that the person is struggling to articulate their feelings and communicate effectively with their partner. The song is also about the frustration and desperation that comes with being unable to let go of a person, even when that person is not good for you.
Throughout the song, there are references to the destructive nature of the relationship. The line “Breaking bones, breaking bones” suggests that the relationship is physically and emotionally harmful. The singer also speaks about feeling like they are losing their identity because of the relationship. They sing, “I'm not the kind to lose myself and behind, You gotta move and your body is the shape I want” which indicates that they are compromising who they are for the sake of the relationship.
The chorus of the song, “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” is all about the singer's desperation to please their partner and find a way to make the relationship work. The person is willing to melt emotionally and sacrifice their own happiness to appease their partner. The chorus also speaks to the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of uncertainty, where the person is constantly running in circles trying to make the relationship work.

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
Running circles into my brain
Help, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
