Tangerine
Hydra Melody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm putting up with your disaster
And your living happy ever after
What is this for
Because if Polly wants a cracker
She's gonna get it even if it takes a little time
And I hope time flies
Cos all I want
Is a piece of mind
I'm giving mine to you
Ooooooooooooooooooooh

So long
I'll be writing you a letter baby when I'm done
Using you
And our memory for holding place in time
I hope you find
What you're looking for cos baby know I've got mine

You try to shower me with reasons
But it never makes sense to me
And I told myself what I had to
To get myself this far
Cos all I want
Is peace of mind
I'm giving mine to you
Oooooooooooooooooh

So long
I'll be writing you a letter baby when I'm done
Using you
And our memory for holding my place in time
I hope you find
What you're looking for cos baby know I've got mine
I've got mine

Yeah I wonder
Oh I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Oooooooooooh

Are you still taking your medication
To sleep at night
Did you forget me
Or just cover me up
I've been wondering if it's much too late
I think it's much too late
I think it's much too late

So long
I'll be writing you a letter baby when I'm done
Using you
And our memory for holding my place in time
I hope you find
What you're looking for
I've got mine
Oh I've got mine
I've got mine
Yeah I hope you get yours too




Oh I've got mine
Yeah and I hope you get yours too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hydra Melody's "Tangerine" appear to be about a deteriorating relationship. The singer seems to be trying to hold on to the relationship and give their all to it, despite the fact that the other person in the relationship is causing chaos and dysfunction. The lines "I'm putting up with your disaster and your living happy ever after" suggest that the other person in the relationship is not pulling their weight, and that the singer is doing all the work to keep things afloat. Despite this, the singer sings about giving their peace of mind to the other person, perhaps indicating that they are willing to sacrifice their own well-being for the sake of the relationship.


The song also includes lines about holding on to memories of the relationship ("Using you and our memory for holding place in time") and wondering if it's too late to fix things ("Are you still taking your medication to sleep at night? Did you forget me or just cover me up?"). The overall theme seems to be one of resignation and acceptance - the singer has come to terms with the fact that the relationship is not working out, and is ready to move on with their own life ("I hope you find what you're looking for cos baby know I've got mine").
