Melody
The Queen Of Spades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

As you smile
Through the darkened night
The sun sets you down, for a while
And as the nighttime
Slowly slips away
Seems like forever passed today

Only time will show
If it all shall grow
I don't know
I try to hold my own
Feeling that we both so dearly know
Do you know

And the fields
Once filled with laughter
More and more they crumble down
I lost my sight
I was blinded by the light
Can't feel the passion anymore

Only time will show
If it all shall grow
I don't know
I try to hold my own
Feeling that we both so dearly know
Well, do you know

Then it comes crashing down
With the flowers and the trees
I'd turn it all around
To hear the echoes of the melodies
Your voice would so softly sing
Til' the morning brought the rain
Now there's nothing more
No one for whom it's for
No more
No more

Only time will show
If it all shall grow
Well, I don't know
I try to hold my own




Feeling that we both so dearly know
Well, do you know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Melody" by The Queen Of Spades depict a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past love and the pain of its loss. The song opens with the image of the queen of spades smiling through the darkness of the night, representing a brief moment of happiness in a challenging situation. The mention of the sun setting and the nighttime slipping away suggests that this happiness is short-lived, as if time is playing tricks on the singer's emotions.


The lyrics then shift to the metaphor of fields that were once filled with laughter but are now crumbling down. This can be interpreted as the decay of a relationship that was once vibrant and joyful. The singer confesses that they have lost their sight and can no longer see the passion that once existed between them and their lover. The mention of being blinded by the light suggests that perhaps the intensity of the relationship was too overwhelming and ultimately led to its downfall.


The chorus emphasizes the uncertainty of whether their love will grow or fade away entirely. The singer acknowledges their attempt to hold onto their own sense of self, but also acknowledges the shared understanding they have with their lover. The repeated question "do you know" implies a longing for reassurance and connection.


Towards the end of the song, there is a realization that everything has come crashing down. The reference to flowers and trees suggests the beauty that once existed has been destroyed. The singer expresses a desire to turn back time and hear the echoes of the melodies that were once shared with their lover. However, it is clear that there is nothing left now, no one left for whom the music is meant.


In summary, "Melody" is a poignant exploration of the fleeting nature of love and the pain of its loss. It captures the emotions of longing, uncertainty, and nostalgia, reminding listeners that time can both heal and destroy.
