In doing so, their bodies are not only physically fused together but are also literally melted by the sheer destructive power of the bomb. So they proceed to use their last moments on earth making love, apparently ignoring the bombs falling down from the skies above them. They are not scared of their impending death since they know they are dying in each other’s arms. Despite being in the blast site with no place to escape to, the couple is unnerved. The couple are physically and intimately together as a nuclear bomb is being dropped on them. When he tells his lover that he would melt with her, he is not being figurative. The lyrics portray how deep the narrator’s love is for his partner.

But that being said, the long and short of “I Melt with You” is that it is a love song albeit a dark one. This is apparently the reason why certain parts of the lyrics are hard to comprehend. It should be noted that Robbie has stated that he was highly intoxicated when he wrote the lyrics of this song. In those last moments before they are melted together, we can assume goodbyes and promises were exchanged – in hopes to be together in the afterlife. It is at this point that the narrator feels the world has completely stopped while being in the embrace of their significant other. In the chorus, it feels like it’s reached mere seconds just before the bomb hits ground. Using their last breath to make love with their significant other and choosing to be as one till death and beyond.

This is the moment the subjects of this song (a couple) are experiencing. Would time feel like it’s stopped? Would the pleasure of their lips on yours be even sweeter than you could remember before? And lastly, would their touch be equivalent to that of an angel’s? Yet, instead of running for cover, you decide to be your lover’s side and make love. Imagine the world about to crash down on you with the blaring sounds of screams and cries. You can view the lyrics, alternate interprations and sheet music for Modern English's I Melt with You at.
