Melody
Sharleen Spiteri (Texas) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's still no cure for you
I tried a lot, the best I could have had
You did not hurry for me
Take my heart with you when you think you're mine
Take my heart with you, yes I know this time
You're hiding away, just for today
I'll search the world to find you
You're hiding away, you're hiding away
I've traveled far, been losing so much time
I'll keep on searching for you
The sweetest voice, I know I've made my choice
Now will you hurry to me?
Take my heart with you when you think you're mine
Take my heart with you, yes I know this time
I'll search the world to find you
You're hiding away, just for today
I'll search the world to find you
You're hiding away, you're hiding away
Melody, melody, melody, melody
I'll search the world to find you
You're hiding away, just for today
I'll search the world to find you
You're hiding away, you're hiding away
I'll search the world, there ain't cure for love
I'll search the world, there ain't cure for love
I'll search the world, ain't cure for love
I'll search the world, I'll search the world
I'll search the world, there ain't cure for love
I'll search the world, there ain't cure for love
In Sharleen Spiteri's song "Melody," the lyrics seem to be about a relationship that has gone cold, but the singer still holds out hope for rekindling the love. The lines "We're out of talk, I know it's been a while / There's still no cure for you" suggest that the couple has run out of things to say to each other, and perhaps the singer has tried everything to save the relationship, but nothing has worked. The next verse indicates that the singer has been searching for the person, willing to travel far and sacrifice time to find them. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'll search the world to find you / You're hiding away, just for today / I'll search the world to find you / You're hiding away, you're hiding away" emphasizing the central theme of the song, which is the desire to reunite with the lost love. The lyric "I'll search the world, there ain't cure for love" could mean that no matter how much distance or time separates the couple or whatever time they require, the love can only be regained through effort and commitment.
Overall, "Melody" expresses the pain and hopelessness that comes with losing love and the determination to try anything to reclaim it, even if it takes searching the world to find it. The song's repetitive chorus and use of the word "melody" imply that music may have been an important part of the relationship, serving as a connection between the two people.
