Melody
Vinai Ray Dalton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn′t figure out the answer (figure out the answer)
You take the lead
But I'm still here with no direction (here with no direction)
Spending like hundred hours, picking out flowers
You laid out for me
Follow through unknown lands and valleys forever
Melody
Trying to catch a melody
Trying to catch a melody
Trying to catch a melody
Way too long
Wake me up and take me home
Don′t let go
The secret you've been keeping for so long
Spending like a thousand hours, picking up flowers
You laid out for me
Follow through unknown lands and valleys forever
Trying to catch a melody
Spending like a million hours, picking up flowers
You laid out for me
Follow through unknown lands and valleys forever
Trying to catch a melody
Trying to catch a melody
Trying to catch a melody
Spending like a million hours, picking up flowers
You laid out for me
Follow through unknown lands and valleys forever
Trying to catch a melody
Melody
Trying to catch a melody

The second verse talks about how the singer has been following someone through unknown lands and valleys for what seems like forever in an attempt to catch a melody. The chorus repeats the phrase "trying to catch a melody" and emphasizes the immense amount of time and effort spent on this pursuit.
The lyrics of "Melody" undoubtedly refer to the pursuit of creating music. The singer is trying to catch a melody that will presumably result in a successful song or piece of music.

The repetition of "spending like a hundred hours" and progressively larger amounts of time emphasize the time and effort put into creating and fine-tuning music. Additionally, the line "you laid out for me" suggests that this is a collaborative effort, and someone else is helping to guide the creative process.
Overall, the lyrics of "Melody" seem to convey the struggle and perseverance required in creating music and finding the right sound or idea.
