MELISA Lyrics – Quebonafide

MELISA Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro shows how people constantly ask the artist for favors—concert tickets, charity donations, birthday shoutouts—sometimes pretending to care about causes, like helping an injured dog. It’s a bit overwhelming and feels insincere, like people only reach out when they want something.

[Zwrotka 1: Quebonafide]
Here, he says he doesn’t really want to do these things, but ends up doing them anyway. He feels pressured to keep up appearances—sending videos for weddings, birthdays, even divorces. Deep down, something feels off. Life was supposed to go smoothly and flat, but now everything is messy and vertical, like unexpected responsibilities piling up. He’s trying to keep it together, even supporting kids in need or recording songs for the deaf, but it’s clearly taking a toll.

[Refren: Quebonafide]
This part is all about escape. After all the chaos, he finally comes home—a peaceful place far from judgmental people (“crows”) and constant noise. He finds comfort in small things: lemon balm tea, a blanket, silence. That quiet time feels better than any fancy art event, sports match, or music show. Home is where he feels safe, especially when everything outside feels like it’s falling apart. That space is what he truly values now.

[Zwrotka 2: Quebonafide]
He paints a picture of rich, out-of-touch people—like someone in heels reaching the ceiling or someone who made a perfect life plan. They tell him to be eco-friendly, like buy an electric scooter, while they own ten gas-powered cars. They talk about saving the planet, but their wealth and lifestyle say otherwise. They live extravagantly—throwing parties that cost a whole year’s salary, planning to buy a third yacht, and planting forests like it’s a trend. He’s clearly fed up with their hypocrisy. His sarcastic suggestion about the electric chair is a dark jab at their shallow morality, almost saying, “If you’re going to be fake, at least be honest about it.”

[Refren: Quebonafide]
Again, he returns to the peaceful picture of home. After being surrounded by noise, drama, and people who don’t get it, this is where he finally feels in control and happy. The calm, the tea, the blanket—those simple things give him more joy than any rich lifestyle ever could. When life feels like a storm or even a war, that cozy home is his safe place, his real win.

[Outro: Quebonafide & Mata]
He’s had enough. Someone tries to ask for another favor, and he shuts it down with a loud “No!” It’s a breaking point—he’s done with the constant asking and fake connections.
