Melt
Swim Camp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you mind closing the door
Cause I feel it coming back and
It won't come around any more
I don't know anything now
But I wanna learn how
You can mean so much to someone
And I try to make it back
Make it back
When everything feels fucked
You know you can't give up
But if you're not gonna open up
Well it might not be any use
And I try to make it back
Make it back
Your body
Is freezing
The dog barks
No reason
The song "Melt" by Swim Camp explores the feeling of being lost and disconnected, and the struggle to find connection and meaning in a relationship that might not be reciprocated. The opening lines, "If I melt right into the floor, would you mind closing the door," convey a sense of wanting to disappear or escape, perhaps due to feeling overwhelmed by emotions or the pressure to connect with someone. However, the following lines suggest a desire to keep trying, to not give up on the possibility of connecting with someone even if it seems unlikely.
The lyric "You can mean so much to someone who doesn't mean that much to you" touches on the idea that relationships, particularly romantic ones, are often uneven or unbalanced. One person may feel more strongly than the other, and this can cause pain and frustration. Despite this, the singer expresses a desire to "make it back," to find a way to connect and make the relationship work.
The final lines of the song, "Your body is freezing, the dog barks no reason," add a surreal and somewhat unsettling image to the song. It's unclear what these lines specifically mean, but they contribute to the overall sense of unease and disconnect that the song explores.
Overall, "Melt" is a song about the struggle to connect with another person, and the fear of being alone or disconnected. It touches on the pain of unrequited love, but ultimately suggests that it's better to keep trying than to give up completely.

If I melt right into the floor
If I disappear completely from your life
Would you mind closing the door
Can you please let me go and close the doors behind
Cause I feel it coming back and
Because I can sense the old feelings returning
It won't come around any more
But unfortunately, it will never come back
I don't know anything now
My mind is blank and I'm unable to think
But I wanna learn how
But I want to learn how to cope with it
You can mean so much to someone
Someone can become important in your life
Who doesn't mean that much to you
Even if you don't mean as much to them
And I try to make it back
I am trying hard to return back to normalcy
Make it back
Get back to the old self
When everything feels fucked
When everything seems like a mess
You know you can't give up
You cannot lose hope and give up
But if you're not gonna open up
But if you are not willing to share and communicate
Well it might not be any use
Then it will not serve any purpose
Your body
Your physical form
Is freezing
Is becoming cold and numb
The dog barks
The dog makes noise
No reason
Without any valid cause or explanation
