Melody
Merk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Calling me out
Working its way
Taking a hold of me
How did I never see before today
And when did I forget that I am inside of you
If you are inside of me
Staying up late
Awake by the phone
Its not just every now and then
Where did you go last night
I hate to think you said
Fun lights of the dark
And I don′t know how no more
The secret behind the door
Melody
Shining the light
Searching the house
Hiding where you can't see
For I am not anything I claim to be
And if I danced with you tonight
I couldn′t die with regret
But I'd run away again
The song "Melody" by Merk seems to be about a person being consumed by their own thoughts and memories. The lyrics present a contrast between an uplifting melody and gloomy lyrics which possibly reflect the character's struggles with anxiety and depression.
The first verse speaks about how the melody is calling out to the character and taking a hold of them. The melody seems to be a metaphor for a person's inner struggle, which they have failed to see before today. The character also ponders on when they forgot about being a part of something bigger (possibly a bigger community or purpose) and how that realization made them question their existence. This verse suggests that the character is seeking for a sense of purpose and connection to something bigger than themselves.
The second verse speaks about the character's fascination with a person, likely a love interest. The character stays up late, waiting for the person to call them, but it seems like their lover is not always present. The character struggles to comprehend the mixed signals they are getting and is afraid of losing the person they love. However, the line "fun lights of the dark" suggests that the character might find solace in their lover's darkness.
Overall, the song "Melody" is a reflection of the character's inner turmoil and struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The lyrics are packed with metaphors and symbolism, which makes the song resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or confused in their life.
