In "Melanchoholic," Kalandra longs to escape the body each night, where sleep brings an eerie relief from a conscience that never stops pursuing. The plea for gentle, weightless release frames a state of constant unconscious melancholy, thoughtlessly caught in apathy. Misery becomes a river that never runs dry, suggesting both comfort and endlessness in the ache. The imagined crossing beyond feels like going home, yet the song stays suspended between wanting that release and being unable to fully leave the weight behind.
Melanchoholic Lyrics by Kalandra
I long to be free from my body
Each night I fall asleep
Whether it’s real or just a dream
It’s an eerie relief
Offer me gentle release
Offer me weightless release
Constant unconscious melancholy
My conscience is constantly after me
Thoughtlessly caught in the apathy
I’m melanchoholic
I imagine it’s like going home
I want to see what lies beyond
Offer me gentle release
Offer me weightless release
Constant unconscious melancholy
My conscience is constantly after me
Thoughtlessly caught in the apathy
I’m melanchoholic
Misery is easy
Oh, misery flows through me
It’s like a river that never runs dry
It’s like a river that never runs dry
It’s like a river that never runs dry
It’s like a river that never runs dry
