Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta find another galaxy
Gotta find another home
I wanna plain that belongs to me
Even if it's out there
Paradise ain't ecstasy
Will it last if no one cares
Will it survive the storm of greed
Level eyes tell you all you need
Save it for your wish list
For a time when you can't breath
It's none of your business
Accept what you have done to me
It's none of your business
Now I am finally free
Melancholy misfits
Level eyes tell you all you need
Save it for your wish list
For a time when you can't breath
It's none of your business
Accept what you have done to me
It's none of your business
Now I am finally free
The lyrics to "Melancholy" by unknown.beat paint a picture of someone who is in a state of deep sadness, perhaps even depression. The first verse refers to the "creeps" that walk around when the sun comes out and the palm trees sway. This could be a reference to the feeling of being surrounded by people who are happy and content, while the singer feels isolated and unhappy. The next line, "And the days we had when the days were sad", suggests that the singer has experienced happier times, but is now facing a period of deep sadness. However, even in the midst of this sadness, the singer remembers times when they were "full of laughter".
The chorus seems to convey a feeling of hopelessness and frustration. The singer refers to themselves as "fallen so far" and "lacking the sleep", indicating that they are struggling with some kind of emotional or psychological burden. They pack their bags and plan to stay for a week, but there is a sense that they are not really going anywhere - they are "never gone" but "never here" either. The next line, "All evil girls they never sleep", is somewhat cryptic, but could refer to being haunted by negative thoughts or memories. However, the chorus ends on a hopeful note: someone takes the singer's hand and leads them away, suggesting that there is still some hope for healing and escape.
Overall, "Melancholy" is a poignant and powerful song that speaks to the experience of feeling lost and alone in the midst of a world that seems full of happiness and joy. It highlights the importance of connecting with others and finding hope, even in the darkest of moments.
