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
The lyrics of Spiteri Sharleen's song Melody can be interpreted as a love song about a person searching for their loved one who seems to be avoiding them. The singer is aware that there has been a lack of communication between them for a while and knows that there is no cure for the distance that has grown between them. Despite having tried their best to keep the relationship alive, the other person does not seem to reciprocate the same urgency to keep it going.
However, the singer is determined to find and be with their loved one. They are willing to travel and search the world to find them, even if they are hiding away just for today. The phrase 'take my heart with you when you think you're mine' could imply that the singer is surrendering their heart to the other person and hoping that they will appreciate the gesture and the love that comes with it. The song's title, 'Melody', relates to the recurring chorus in the song, almost functioning as a mantra for the singer's search for love.
Overall, Spiteri Sharleen's song Melody is about the pursuit of love and the determination to find and be with the person you love. Despite the lack of communication and distance that has grown between the two, the singer is willing to try to make it work and search the world for their love.
