“Melancholy Kaleidoscope” is the band’s self-proclaimed ‘hardest song to spell’. The song speaks about seasonal depression and being stuck in a melancholy place while trying to find a way out. This is the second track on the album about frontman Alex Gaskarth’s struggle with seasonal depression, “Ja...
[Verse 1]
Nobody wants to hear a sad song
So I just grit my teeth and sing along
There's a choir of the coldest hearts echoin' the halls
So give a little more gas to burn
And we can fast-cut now to the curtain call
[Chorus]
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's high time
You shake things up and get the picture in your head right
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's all right
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five
[Verse 2]
I wanna hear another fast song
Somethin' to tune out all these bad thoughts
Light a fire in the coldest hearts, fillin' up the halls
That's another lit match to burn
And we can fast-cut now to the curtain call
(We now return to our regularly scheduled program)
[Chorus]
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's high time
You shake things up and get the picture in your head right
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's all right
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five
[Bridge]
So would you please stand by?
Are we out of time?
Maybe I'll feel better
Give me forty-five
Staring at the ceiling
Choking back my feelings
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five
[Chorus]
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's high time
You shake things up and get the picture in your head right
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's all right
Can't be one hundred (No)
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five
[Outro]
If you're only giving ninety-five
Only giving ninety-five

Kerrang spoke to frontman Alex Gaskarth about the track.
This is an interesting one, because the energy is pretty high, but the lyrics are exploring some darker things. It was written at a time where I was going through seasonal depression, which I’ve never really experienced before. I came in to t...
