"Synchronicities" is an unreleased song by Melanie Martinez. It was recorded in the sessions for her third studio album, PORTALS, however, it was later scrapped.
The full song leaked on November 4, 2021.
Theme[]
The song seems to be about self-discovery, growth and finding one's place in the world while seeking connection with others. The lyrics describe a journey of personal growth and introspection, with Melanie searching for signs and meaning in life. The chorus expresses a desire for connection and understanding, with her asking for someone to hold them, show them they are aligned, and tell them what they are missing. The outro suggests a sense of acceptance and awareness of the interconnectedness of things, such as recognizing synchronicities and a feeling that everything is right where they are meant to be.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
All my debts are paid
Left her dead and turned the corner
New path in my name
I've been seeing the same numbers
Searching for a sign
I saw a raven flying
And she told me I was dying
Dying to be born, mhm
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not wasting no more time
Are you out or in?
If you wanna stick by my side
Are you down to swim?
I can't be your lifeline
I'm still tryna find mine
If we sync up at the right time
[Chorus]
Hold me in your arms
Show me we're aligned
Meet me in the dark
Tell me what I'm missing, tell me what I'm missing
Shout it from the sky
Don't cut off your tongue
Even when I'm wrong
Promise I will listen, promise I will listen
[Verse 2]
My skin, my blood is blue
Cut me and it's red like cherries
In life, there are two
Two sides of the coins we carry
Which side will you choose?
Flowers that you water
Tend to have the better karma
Just like me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not wasting no more time
Are you out or in?
If you wanna stick by my side
Are you down to swim?
I can't be your lifeline
I'm still tryna find mine
If we sync up at the right time, ah
[Chorus]
Hold me in your arms
Show me we're aligned
Meet me in the dark
Tell me what I'm missing, tell me what I'm missing
Mhm, mhm, mhm
Don't cut off your tongue
Even when I'm wrong
Promise I will listen, promise I will listen
[Outro]
Are you seeing synchronicities?
Everything is right where, where it's meant to be
Are you seeing synchronicities?
Everything is right where, where it's meant to be
[Verse 1]
All my debts are paid
Left her dead and turned the corner
New path in my name
I've been seeing the same numbers
Searching for a sign
I saw a raven flying
And she told me I was dying
Dying to be born, mhm
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not wasting no more time
Are you out or in?
If you wanna stick by my side
Are you down to swim?
I can't be your lifeline
I'm still tryna find mine
If we sync up at the right time
[Chorus]
Hold me in your arms
Show me we're aligned
Meet me in the dark
Tell me what I'm missing, tell me what I'm missing
Shout it from the sky
Don't cut off your tongue
Even when I'm wrong
Promise I will listen, promise I will listen
[Verse 2]
My skin, my blood is blue
Cut me and it's red like cherries
In life, there are two
Two sides of the coins we carry
Which side will you choose?
Flowers that you water
Tend to have the better karma
Just like me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not wasting no more time
Are you out or in?
If you wanna stick by my side
Are you down to swim?
I can't be your lifeline
I'm still tryna find mine
If we sync up at the right time, ah
[Chorus]
Hold me in your arms
Show me we're aligned
Meet me in the dark
Tell me what I'm missing, tell me what I'm missing
Mhm, mhm, mhm
Don't cut off your tongue
Even when I'm wrong
Promise I will listen, promise I will listen
[Outro]
Are you seeing synchronicities?
Everything is right where, where it's meant to be
Are you seeing synchronicities?
Everything is right where, where it's meant to be
