Kids. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you let me burning like i'm thousand suns
from craving to begging please heal all my pain
bleeding till my senses rotate
everything, everything lies in your hands
all things lie in your hand
all things lie in your hand
a lonely deserter with no end in sight
this time i feel i’ll make a difference
no painting, i'll change what's inside
and i want to see that you change
burning like i'm thousand suns
i'm starting to understand what heals my pain
bleeding, it belongs to the past
everything, everything lies in my hands
this time i feel i’ll make a difference
no painting, i'll change what's inside
and i want to see that you change
better times can never start
when the bad ones never end
feeling well with myself
and the role that i am in
hold onto the time, defining lies
They’re falling apart as the day turns night.
not in charge to be at large
you're falling apart as the day turns night
better times can never start
when the bad ones never end
feeling well with myself
and the role that i am in
hold on to the time, defining lies
They’re falling apart as the day turns night.
not in charge to be at large
you're falling apart as the day turns night
this time i feel i’ll make a difference
no painting, i'll change what's inside
and i want to see that you change
yeah
The song "Melt" by Kids. is a powerful expression of how someone recognizes their own flaws, but also takes ownership of their own life and seeks to change their situation. The opening lines of the song set a vivid scene of how the singer feels they are burning as bright as a thousand suns, yet they are still begging for someone to heal their pain. They feel as though they are bleeding until their senses rotate, indicating a profound struggle within themselves. The singer acknowledges that everything in their life seems to lie in the hands of someone else and how they wish to be heard, feeling like a "lonely deserter with no end in sight."
However, throughout the song, the singer begins to feel more empowered, realizing that everything truly lies in their own hands. They declare that they will make a difference in their life and change what's inside of them, no longer relying on others to fix their problems. The chorus repeats the idea that "better times can never start when the bad ones never end," emphasizing the cyclical nature of hardships and how it can seem impossible to break free from them. Yet, the singer holds onto hope and encourages the listener to do the same, "hold onto the time, defining lies, they’re falling apart as the day turns night."
The overall message of the song is one of self-acceptance and personal transformation. The singer recognizes their imperfections and struggles but refuses to be held back by them. They encourage themselves and others to push past the pain and work towards a better future, one where they can feel content with the role they play in their own life.
