The Melody
Rodeo Ruby Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am a melody.
Come sing alongside me.
I am alive in the palm of your hand.
Sing me.
I have been saved, but not by you.
I am the wind between the trees, between your knees, and up your skirt.
Love is a melody, so please come sing alongside me.
It's hard enough just to be living.
Lord, I want to be forgiven.
Love is a melody, but you wouldn't sing a song with me.
Oh, how I want to be in your arms again.
The first verse of Rodeo Ruby Love's song, "The Melody," depicts the song as alive; "I am a song. I am a melody. Come sing alongside me." The song invites the audience to join and sing with it. The following lyric, "I am alive in the palm of your hand," suggests that the song is a representation of the singer's soul or essence, and it's up to the audience to occupy and cherish it.
The second verse, "Sing me. I have been saved, but not by you," implies that the song is therapeutic, uplifting, and has the power to restore a soul that is lost or broken. However, the song wasn't saved or restored by the audience. The third and fourth lyrics, "I am the earth showering in the whitewash. I am the wind between the trees, between your knees, and up your skirt," highlights nature, suggesting that the song has an unprocessed, raw, and unfiltered quality. It's a call to the audience to embrace nature, to feel it as the song does.
