A raw and emotive ballad by The Melancholics, 'Dear Kolton' explores the complex and dark family dynamics of the Balzan family. A letter to Kolton, the younger son, the song dives deep into betrayals, addictions, and the facade of a seemingly perfect mother. Delivered in the gritty style of Kendrick Lamar's 'Meet the Grahams,' this song lays bare the harsh realities of Kolton's life.
Verse 1:
Dear Kolton, I’m sorry that that woman’s your mother
Eileen’s got secrets, left scars, one after another
She traded love for another, now she’s lost in the smoke
And pretending to a world that’s blind, reality’s broke
Chorus:
A family in pieces, led by a phantom dream
Lie upon lie, Kolton, it’s not what it seems
I know it’s heavy, this world that you fight
With shadows that linger, even in the light
Verse 2:
Your sister’s on the highway, with a bottle and a scream
While your father's in a nightmare, with a child unseen
Stepdad’s got his demons, and the drugs call his name
You’re surrounded by this chaos, it's a never-ending game
Chorus:
A family in pieces, led by a phantom dream
Lie upon lie, Kolton, it’s not what it seems
I know it’s heavy, this world that you fight
With shadows that linger, even in the light
Bridge:
Uncle’s lost his way, chasing something that breaks
And your aunt raised a daughter who’s tied to her stakes
Kolton, I fear you’re the light in this dark
Hold onto your spirit, don’t let it slip apart
Verse 3:
Grandfather Ramon and Julia, they don’t see the truth
Eileen’s clinic is a front for vacations and loot
With every fake smile, she pretends to care
But barely feeds her children, life’s so unfair
Chorus:
A family in pieces, led by a phantom dream
Lie upon lie, Kolton, it’s not what it seems
I know it’s heavy, this world that you fight
With shadows that linger, even in the light
Outro:
Kolton, my letter's a beacon for you to hold
In this tumultuous story, be brave, be bold
Though the darkness seems like it will never end
Remember, within you, there's a light to transcend
