Lyrics
Melanie is smilin' at the sky
Melanie is expressing happiness or contentment, looking upwards.
If it were up to me
The speaker wishes they had the power to exchange everything for Melanie's happiness.
I'd give everythin' for that, oh
A continuation of the speaker's desire to sacrifice for Melanie's joy.
So many claims to know divine
Many people claim to have knowledge of the divine or spiritual, creating uncertainty.
Is it stupid to think
Questioning the validity of thinking about divine matters, possibly feeling foolish.
Am I jealous missin' that?
Expressing a sense of jealousy or longing for the understanding that others claim.
Would you be, would you define?
Asking if Melanie can define her role in the speaker's life, either as a support or contributing to their grief.
Bein' a crutch like this
Wondering if Melanie serves as a crutch or adds to the speaker's sorrow.
Or grief like mine, ohh, ahh
Highlighting the emotional pain or grief the speaker is experiencing.
Does it feel like
Pondering if there's a feeling of darkness or negativity, questioning the presence of a positive outlook.
There's no bright side?
Suggesting a perception that there is no optimistic or favorable aspect to the situation.
Do you want to
Asking if there is a desire to express frustration or anger physically.
Place your fist in the wall?
Imagining the possibility of releasing anger by hitting a wall.
I feel that warmth within me
Feeling a warm sensation inside, possibly conflicting with the perceived falsehoods mentioned later.
Can't help but think it's all lies
Skeptical about the sincerity of the warm feeling, suspecting it might be untrue.
So sadly strip down and thrust to the cold outside
Describing vulnerability by metaphorically exposing oneself and facing the cold reality outside.
Nothing can left to protect me
Feeling defenseless, with nothing left to shield from external challenges.
I wish I could believe this
Expressing a desire to believe in something despite the skepticism mentioned earlier.
So sadly strip down and thrust to the cold outside
Reiterating the vulnerability and exposure to the harsh external environment.
