Lyrics
Melt Away
You move like you love me Don’t you baby You give like you almost really really need me
Sequins and rubies Create beauty You give like you almost really really love me
(But) when I try to hold you You turn away All the diamonds that you gave me Melt away
You brag all about me Don’t you baby It seems like you almost really really own me
The cage where you keep me Is always lonely It seems like you almost really really own me
(But) when I try to hold you You turn away All the diamonds that you gave me Melt away

funky, but in like a soaring/floating way. Love it!
Such a cool floating melody over that dance beat! The evolution of the 'really really' phrases tells a clear story, and it's so condensed.
This is very cool, the arrangement especially Love the song and your voice.
Damn, this is really beautiful! Your voice is awesome and the melody you've created is stellar! I am really digging that indie pop vibe! Your lyrics are spot on for this style and tell this story so well. And, did I mention how in love I am with your voice yet? Well, I am! And this is an excellent song!!!
I really like the juxtaposition of the dancey beat with the mourning nature of the lyrics. Great song, nice work!
