Melt
Nick Murphy / Chet Faker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While you smile at me you've got the whitest teeth
You leave me alone every time I rest here my head
Breaking bones, Breaking bones
You make me lose my time, fall all over the words
I'm not the kind to lose myself and behind
You gotta move and your body is the shape I want
Everything you say is on fire
All you have to do is arrive
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Run in circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
Wasting my time with you, no
This only way to sunshine in my watch
Wasting my time with you, stop
I'll be erasing my mind, what you've got
Too much nerve coming into here
Turning loose and make a murder fear
God damn, boy, you so hot
It's no excuse to make my pole stop
I need a bit of coffee and a warm side
Dusty ideas only have spots
The verse I'm singing only half sung
High fretting in the mob's brow
Didn't mean to let it drift this far
I'm playing hard to get, you're playing your guitar
Damn, you should be so shy
Been working hard to drop me inside
Our dreams breaking all, breaking all my bones
Before I break it off, I break it off alone
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Run in circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess,
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Run in circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
The opening line of the song, "Help me, please, you're breaking on my speech", portrays the frustration and helplessness of the singer who seems to be struggling to articulate their thoughts in front of the person they are addressing. The line "While you smile at me you've got the whitest teeth" serves as an analogy for the person's seemingly flawless external appearance, masking their internal attributes.
The song is about a dysfunctional relationship, where the singer is being manipulated emotionally by the other person. The lines "You make me lose my time, fall all over the words" and "Wasting my time with you, no" indicates the singer's frustration with the other person's actions that consume their time and energy. The lines "Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess" conveys the narrative of the singer being trapped in the vicious cycle of the relationship, where they feel happy momentarily, but it ultimately leads to destruction.
The phrase "Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this", suggests that the singer no longer wants to be a part of this relationship but is ready to face it alone even if it means being lonely. The song ends on a note of resignation, with no sign of the singer being able to break away from this toxic relationship.

This situation was not intended to escalate to this degree
I'm playing hard to get, you're playing your guitar
I am pretending to be unattainable while you are preoccupied with music
Damn, you should be so shy
You should be more reserved in this situation
Been working hard to drop me inside
You have been working to win me over emotionally
Our dreams breaking all, breaking all my bones

Before I break it off, I break it off alone
Before I end this relationship, I will distance myself emotionally
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
You are ruining my joy and creating a chaotic mess
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, appease me
Taking care of your needs is a more compassionate approach to winning my approval

Help me breath, you're breaking up my speech
While you smile at me, you got the whitest teeth
You won't leave me alone, every time I rest you're in my head
Breaking bones, Breaking bones
You make me lose my time, fall all over the words
I'm not the kind of one to lose myself in the hunt
You gotta move and your body is the shape I want
And everything you say is on fire
You've got the easiest position to destroy my life
All you have to do is arrive
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kind of waiting game that leaves me
Running circles into my brain
Oh, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
Wasting my time with you, no
This only way to sunshine in my watch
Wasting my time with you, stop
I'll be erasing my mind, what you've got
Too much nerve coming into here
Turning loose and make a murder fear
God damn, boy, your so hot
It's no excuse to make my pulse stop
I need a bit of coffee and a warm sun
Dusty ideas only half spun
The verse I'm singing only half sung
Half flirting and I'm half sprung
Didn't mean to let it drift this far
Playing hard to get, you're playing your guitar
Damn, you should be so shy
Been working hard to drop me inside
I've had dreams of breaking all, breaking all my bones
Before I break it off, I break it off alone
Melt my happiness, some kind of fucked up mess
Looking out for you is a kinder way to gain, it leaves me
Running circles into my brain
Help, my loneliness will take no part in this
Oh, Oh, Overdose
