Lady
Melpo Mene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see things, oh, people
Stop steppin' around in my head
Please, tell me
I am a lady if you save me
I'm living alone if you find me
Everyone tells me
I am a lady if you save me
I'm getting so old and
You don't know that I'm alright
'Cause I'm in sorry shape as they say
My thought of being
Someone's way to love
So pathetic, I don't even care
Please, tell me
Everyone tells me
I'm in sorry shape but I'm not
The song "Lady" by Melpo Mene can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible meaning is about loneliness and the desire for love and companionship. The singer seems to be experiencing loneliness and isolation in their own mind, as they ask people to stop stepping around in their head. They want someone to alleviate their loneliness and save them from their sorry state, but they also assert their identity as a lady, possibly suggesting that they don't want to compromise their dignity and self-respect in the pursuit of love.
The lyrics reveal a sense of desperation and resignation, as the singer acknowledges their pathetic thoughts and their perception of being in sorry shape, while also asserting that they are not as bad off as people tell them. The song conveys a sense of vulnerability and emotional rawness, with the slow, melancholic melody and the intimate vocals underscoring the feeling of being exposed and undefended.
