Melt
Prize Horse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I wonder
I want to know it′s not
I know I wander
I wont complain at all

It's not all in the ground
Now it′s just uninspiring
But it's all in the ground
Today

Slower through the floor
I see it too
What I had set forth
Was all i knew

All I see is slumber
It's part of the land I knew
All falls through in summer
To take my time

It′s not all in the ground
Now it′s just uninspiring




But it's all in the ground
Today

Overall Meaning

In Prize Horse's song "Melt," the lyrics evoke a sense of introspection and longing for understanding. The opening lines, "I know I wonder, I want to know it's not, I know I wander, I won't complain at all," suggest a deep curiosity and desire to find meaning or answers. It's as if the singer acknowledges their tendency to question and wander, but they accept it without complaint.


The phrase "It's not all in the ground, now it's just uninspiring, but it's all in the ground today" could be interpreted in a few ways. On one hand, it could refer to feeling uninspired by the mundane, day-to-day aspects of life. The singer may believe that there's something more meaningful or inspiring that lies beneath the surface, buried within themselves or their environment. On the other hand, it could also symbolize the passing of time and the cycle of life. Everything eventually returns to the earth, where new growth can sprout and inspiration can be found.


The chorus, "All I see is slumber, it's part of the land I knew, all falls through in summer, to take my time," portrays a sense of resignation and acceptance. The word "slumber" might represent a state of dormancy or lack of excitement in the singer's life. They recognize that this state is intertwined with the familiar surroundings they have known. However, they also imply that everything changes during the summer season, perhaps indicating a period of growth or transformation. The line "to take my time" suggests a willingness to embrace this change at their own pace.


Overall, "Melt" explores themes of curiosity, introspection, and the ebb and flow of inspiration and growth in life. It acknowledges the desire to break free from uninspiring routines and find deeper meaning, while also accepting the inherent cyclical nature of existence.
