Melt
Makari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leave me right here if you wanna
I would never weigh you down
Take all your time and go wander
But don't let them water you down

Ooo
So blue
Are you…

Are you holding up just fine?
In whichever city it is tonight
That gets the pleasure of your footsteps
Kissing the pavement
And your laughter ringing out

Melt like the ice in the summer
And you won't be sticking around
But for me there could be no other
I want you while I'm on the ground

Are you
Holding out like I am
For something worth seeing through?

Are you holding up just fine?
In whichever city it is tonight
That gets the pleasure of your footsteps
Kissing the pavement
And your laughter ringing…
I hope they don't change your mind
To make you feel wrong when you know you're right
‘Cause I'll be on your side
I could never forget the way you made me feel
So light

Are you always gonna be
The same person I met on the lawn
We spilled our guts and your hair was long
And black just like the shadows of trees
Reaching for our arms

Are you holding up just fine?
In whichever city it is tonight
That gets the pleasure of your footsteps
Kissing the pavement
And your laughter ringing
I hope they don't change tour mind
To make you feel wrong when tou know you're right
‘Cause I'll be on your side
I could never forget the way you made me feel
So light
So light, light, light
So light, light, light




So light, light, light
So light, light, light

Overall Meaning

The song "Melt" by Makari is a heart-wrenching piece that focuses on the beauty of relationships, and how they can change over time. The first verse of the song starts with "Leave me right here if you wanna, I would never weigh you down," which signifies the emotional detachment one might feel while in a relationship. It talks about letting someone go and explore different avenues, but at the same time, trying not to let their surroundings negatively impact who they are as a person. The lyrics do not speak about clinging on to the person, but rather hoping that they stick around.


The chorus, "Melt like the ice in the summer, and you won't be sticking around, but for me, there could be no other, I want you while I'm on the ground," resonates with anyone who has ever been in a relationship that didn't work out. The line "Melt like the ice in the summer" suggests that the relationship is fleeting and ephemeral. The singer knows that the person will eventually leave, and yet they cannot help but pine for them. Moreover, the line, "I want you while I'm on the ground," signifies that the person is vulnerable and weak, wishing to be with someone who can help them feel grounded.


The second verse of the song focuses more on the present than the future. The singer asks the person they are addressing whether they are doing okay, irrespective of wherever they may be. Moreover, they talk about how the person's laughter and footsteps leave a mark in whichever city they may be in. The lines "I hope they don't change your mind, to make you feel wrong when you know you're right, 'Cause I'll be on your side" suggest unconditional support, despite not being physically present with the person.


Overall, "Melt" is a poignant song that perfectly captures the beauty and pain of relationships.
