The Melody
Nteeze & Andy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't think I'd last your ride
And now I'm here alive
And I'm heading for the floor
You were part of all my dreams
And you made them come to life
And the thought of having you is like paradise
And I want to know what you're feeling, girl
You can take the love from my eyes
Melody, oh why, is melody the only one I've ever wanted
But melody, oh why
Is melody the only song my heart will ever sing
And now the moment's gone
Or maybe it's just ours
If I could have my way in the early hours
You were part of all my dreams
And you made them come to life
And the thought of having you is like paradise
But I've got to know what you're feeling, girl
If the thought of it makes you cry, girl
You can take the love from my eyes
Melody, oh why, is melody the only love I've ever wanted
Melody, oh why, is melody
You're the only song my heart will ever sing in tune
And with feeling I've got much more love than every one's believing
If the thought of me makes you cry
You can take the love from my eyes
Melody, oh why, is melody
You're the only one I've ever wanted
Melody, oh why, is melody
You're the only song my heart will ever sing melody
Oh why, is melody
You're the only one I've ever wanted
Melody, oh why
The lyrics tell the story of someone who has been taken on a journey by a lover, and now they are filled with gratitude for bringing life to their dreams. The opening lines talk about how the lover took them through the night, and even though they didn't think they could handle it, they did. As a result, they are heading for the floor (dancing), alive, and filled with energy.
The song is steeped in romantic sentiments as the singer is proud to have found the only one they've ever wanted. Once again, the lover is credited for making their dreams come true, and the thought of having them is like paradise. They want to know how their love interest is feeling and would even go as far as taking the love from their eyes if the thought of them makes them cry.
The chorus is repeated, and the theme of melody is introduced, with the singer asking why melody is the only thing they ever wanted. It's as if the melody is attached to their lover, and that's the only song their heart can ever sing in tune. The song concludes with a plea for the lover to reciprocate their feelings, as their love is deep and real.
Line by Line Meaning
You took me through the night
You guided me through an experience, possibly a journey or escapade, during the night
Didn't think I'd last your ride
I did not believe that I would survive or endure the adventure with you
And now I'm here alive
I have survived and I am present and living in the current moment
And I'm heading for the floor
I am moving towards the dancefloor or a place of celebration
You were part of all my dreams
You were integrated into all of the dreams and aspirations that I had
And you made them come to life
You transformed those dreams into reality and made them materialize
And the thought of having you is like paradise
The mere idea of having you in my life is like being in a state of heavenly happiness
And I want to know what you're feeling, girl
I desire to learn about and understand the emotions that you are experiencing, woman
If the thought of it makes you cry
If the contemplation of our situation elicits tears from you
You can take the love from my eyes
You are capable of receiving my love as it is evident in my eyes
Melody, oh why, is melody the only one I've ever wanted
I question why I am fixated on melody alone and have never desired anything else
But melody, oh why, is melody the only song my heart will ever sing
Despite my questioning, I acknowledge that melody is the sole tune that my heart will ever express
And now the moment's gone
The moment that we shared has passed and is no longer present
Or maybe it's just ours
It is possible that the moment is exclusive to us and only we truly experienced it
If I could have my way in the early hours
If I had the ability to choose my actions during the beginning of the day or my life
Melody, oh why, is melody the only love I've ever wanted
I continue to question why I am infatuated with melody exclusively and never desired love from anything or anyone else
You're the only song my heart will ever sing in tune
My heart will only ever produce melodic sounds that coincide with you
And with feeling I've got much more love than every one's believing
In fact, I have an abundance of emotions, particularly love, that surpasses what others may believe or presume
If the thought of me makes you cry
If the thought of me brings tears to your eyes
Melody, oh why, is melody
I continue to ponder on why I am so captivated by melody
You're the only one I've ever wanted
I have only ever desired you and nothing else
Melody, oh why, is melody
I question why I am so fixated on melody
You're the only song my heart will ever sing melody
The only tune that my heart will express will be of you
Oh why, is melody
I express my confusion and inquisitiveness regarding melody
