about

This song is about being shelved for 5 years by a major record label and resenting every single person involved.

lyrics

Maybe I wanted this
Maybe I made this happen with my mind
They say my subconscious riens
And it’s been pulling the strings
The whole time
Like a backstabbing friend
With ulterior motives
I wanted this
Like a flightless bird
I got two wings
But they’re useless
I wish I could feel it again
The anger that used to well up inside my gut
The fury has lost its edge
and now it’s round and dull when it used to cut
Just another miscarriage, a failed marriage
Abort mission
Yeah, i wanted this
Like a flightless bird
I got two wings
But they’re useless
Will it even make a sound
When it comes pummeling down
Will it even make a sound
When it comes pummeling down
And there’s no one around
Have you seen my wings
Aren’t they the prettiest things you’ve ever seen
Such a sad story
They locked me in purgatory and threw away the key
And maybe i’m really a witch and the black magic always wreaked havoc
On those around me
Yeah, nobody gives a shit
That i’m a flightless bird
And I got two wings
But they’re clipped

“…she’s got a dark pop vibe, but more dusty guitars than trendy cold electronica.” – The Deli Magazine

“Melo has created a guitar-heavy, alt album that holds true to her singer-songwriter roots.” – Culture Collide ... more
