Thankful
meltycanon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I do not understand.
The things I've been given in life aren't there.
And everything seems against me all the time.
I dont know how to stand up.
But I've got faith in myself, and all of the things I do.
I don't need no one else, to tell me what I can do.

If you don't realize, all of the things your life can do.
You will be left behind, swept up by the storm of those you knew.

I'm just out here chillin' with my fam peeps,
you don't understand me
If you listen to my songs just a little bit deeper,
you might release my dreams
or might release my inner demons,
that's just a little scary
cause I don't know them, but they all know me
and that's just a little weird so i'll keep that to myself
I don't have any real hype right now
I don't even have a real mic right now but
I'm just singing on my laptop cause I want to
I swear no one else can stop you so, just do what you want to
just do what you want, yeah.
just do what you want to,
you know that you want to





If you don't realize, all of the things your life can do.
You will be left behind, swept up by the storm of those you knew.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to meltycanon's song 'thankful' speak to the struggles of feeling unfavored by life and facing constant obstacles. The first verse conveys a sense of helplessness, as the singer feels that the good things in life have passed them by and everything is working against them. However, they express a strong sense of faith in themselves and their abilities, stating that they don't need anyone else's validation to know what they're capable of.


The second verse switches gears to address the listener directly, with the singer urging them to take full control of their own life and not be held back by others. They caution that failing to do so will lead to being "swept up" by the negative influences around them. The final section of the song takes on a more introspective tone, as the singer reflects on their own limitations and fears. They acknowledge that there might be parts of themselves they don't fully understand, but ultimately advocate for self-expression and following one's own desires.


Overall, 'thankful' is a message of empowerment and taking control of one's own life, despite the challenges and uncertainties that might arise. The song encourages listeners to have faith in their own abilities and not let others dictate their path.

The fact that he recorded and produced this with just a laptop is insane. No mic no equipment just what he had built in.

@scarletturner2410

Yeah he is under hyped

I found this song a year ago today when I was in such a bad place. Perhaps the lowest point of my life. The message in the lyrics stuck with me though. A year later, I'm doing so much better and I've accomplished more in these past 12 months than I have in the last five years. Root for you. Root for the winning team. It's worth it and I promise things will get better.
