About This Track

'MELISA' by Quadeca is an alternative song on 'Vanisher, Horizon Scraper (The Extended Cut)' released in 2026.

One striking line, “Guarantee the anchor pulls”, frames the relationship as persistent and inescapable, even as it implies breakage and distance.

Lyrics

MELISA

Hey, Melisa
Hey, Melisa
Staying with you
Through it all, through it all, through it all
Staying with you
Through it all, through it all
Through it all, through it all
Through it all again
All I know is something broke you and you never made it very far
Guarantee the anchor pulls you harder, the farther that you are
Guaranteed it hurts me more than everybody else who knows
If you saw the real me, you'd leave me, that's how it always goes
Guarantee you're somewhere out there
Guarantee you're somewhere out there
And to my only friend
You're my only friend
Through it all, through it all
Through it all again
Hey, Melisa
Staying with you
Through it all, through it all
