Melting Lights
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong Lyrics

In the song Melting Lights by Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, the lyrics describe a desire to stay awake and keep dancing. The singer expresses a willingness to take anything that keeps them moving and describes how they have "ate all the stars above [their] head" and now have "moon eyes". This line can be interpreted as the singer feeling as if they have consumed everything that is out of reach and are now reaching for the moon. They continue to explain how while other people are sleeping, they are still kicking it by sunrise. The repetition of the phrase "Melting Lights" creates a feeling of losing control, perhaps due to the effects of some sort of drugs or simply becoming lost in the music. They mention how they woke up in the middle of their peak (which could be interpreted to be a high point in the music or a drug-induced high) and started to wander. They then explain how moving to the rhythm of their feet helps them think and describe a day of partying and consuming drugs like ketamine and moonshine.

The song appears to be about living in the moment and not worrying too much about the consequences. The lyrics suggest a desire for freedom, whether that be through drug use or dancing until sunrise. The repetition of the phrase "Melting Lights" creates a sense of losing control and giving in to temptation. The song is not necessarily advocating for drug use, but rather portrays drugs as a way to let go and indulge in the moment.
