Allow me to bring you back to 2019 for a moment. It’s arguably before a lot of things went sideways.
Anyways.
It’s 2019. Meltt masterfully blends side-chained future bass sounds with a lush wall of synths and layers the track with a crisp, catchy guitar lick with a tasty tone. A perfectly bouncy bassline adds just enough groove to make you nod along. The vocals enter the mix sounding like they’re coming through a vintage microphone, drenched in reverb and full of character.
You’re looking for love. More precisely, you’re looking to find the love you had and somehow lost along the way.
The lyrics tell a story as old as time. A classic “Should I stay or should I go?”
I’ve been there. We all have. Wondering if we’re meant to settle. Is this as good as it gets? Or does something better, something truer, wait on the other side of heartbreak?
Then comes the line that stops you in your tracks:
“Maybe, I could be growing, instead of always holding, half my life in doubtfulness.”
Because it’s not just about love. It’s about life. About every moment we’ve held back out of fear, every time we’ve clung to comfort when what we really needed was to let go.
Real growth isn’t soft or easy. It’s painful. Messy. Uncertain. It often means breaking something small to make space for something greater.
And that leap, that terrifying free fall with no guarantee, takes more than bravery. It takes faith.
Faith that there’s something better waiting.
Faith that you’re meant for more.
Faith in the scary, beautiful unknown.
