Melo-M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I leave the house at 10:15
I parked my car directly in front of the gate
This is my kinda scene
The food stalls are open but empty
The show performers are phoning it in
But the lines are shorter than they normally are
Let the fun begin
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The Tilt-a-whirl has empty chairs
All the B-list mascots are greeting guests
Whatever guests there are to meet
I got myself a picture with Snoopy’s cousin’s roommate's former mailman, Pete
The carousel horses called in sick
Now it’s just a spinning tent
That minor oddity won’t stop my fun
Finite-time on Earth well spent
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The Ferris wheel has empty chairs
The food stalls are open but empty
The show performers are phoning it in
But the lines are shorter than they normally are
Let the fun begin
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The tilt-a-whirl has empty chairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
My favorite ride is closed for repairs
Going to a theme park on a Wednesday
The kiddie rides have empty chairs
We’re fading out
We’re fading out
You know we're fading out
We're fading out
In the song "Theme" by Melo-M, the lyrics capture the experience of going to a theme park on a Wednesday. The opening lines describe the weather as cloudy with a slight chance of rain, setting the scene for the day's adventures. The singer leaves their house at 10:15 and parks their car directly in front of the gate, indicating their excitement to begin.
However, the verses reveal a lackluster atmosphere at the theme park. The food stalls are open but empty, and the show performers are not giving their best effort, as if going through the motions. Despite this, the lines for the attractions are shorter than usual, creating an opportunity for the singer to make the most of their visit.
The chorus emphasizes the disappointment of the singer's favorite ride being closed for repairs on this particular Wednesday. Symbolically, this could represent life throwing unexpected obstacles in the way of our enjoyment. Additionally, the Tilt-a-whirl attraction having empty chairs further adds to the feeling of emptiness and missed opportunities.
The second verse brings attention to the B-list mascots that are greeting the scarce number of guests. The singer even manages to take a picture with a character that is remotely related to Snoopy, showcasing the eagerness to make the best of the situation. The mention of carousel horses being sick and replaced by a spinning tent adds an element of wry humor in the face of disappointment.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the closure of the favorite ride and the emptiness felt throughout the park. Finally, the phrase "We're fading out" is repeated, suggesting that the day at the theme park is ending or coming to a close. This could also be seen metaphorically as the fading out of an experience or moment in life.
Overall, "Theme" by Melo-M portrays the experience of going to a theme park on an ordinary Wednesday, where things don't go as planned but the singer still finds joy in the smaller moments and embraces the finite time on Earth. It serves as a reminder to make the best of unexpected situations and appreciate the moments of fun that come our way, despite the disappointments.

Sencillamente ¡Magistrales! Genios y virtuosos del violonchelo. Una pena que no sean más conocidos a nivel mundial pues cuánta gente que no disfruta de su música.

Mission Impossible, Peter Gunn, James Bond and Axel F, it would be great a long mashup with those themes, if only a shot of it was incredible, imagine a entire mashup, and with Hawaii 5.0 too.

That would be the greatest unplugged mashup ever!

I've heard several cello & drum bands play, & often find myself cringing at the drumer's ineffectual play.
That is SSSOOOOOOOO not the case with this Melo-M group. Along with the 3 cellists, the drummer here is just FIRE!!!
