The song "Melodrama" by Underscores seems to be about someone reflecting on a mistake that another person has made. The narrator wonders what would happen if the other person realizes the gravity of their mistake and the consequences that may follow. The lyrics suggest that the mistake may have been caused by something that the narrator said. The person who made the mistake had control over the situation, but now that control is gone, and they will have to live with the consequences. The narrator implies that the person will be haunted by their actions even when they go to sleep forever, possibly suggesting a lasting impact on their life. The lyrics also mention others observing the person and their reputation being crumbled. The person is understandably distressed by the situation, and the narrator advises them to just go home because there is nothing left for them in that particular context. Overall, the song explores themes of regret, consequences, and the melodramatic nature of the situation. The repeated phrase "So melodramatic" emphasizes the overly dramatic or exaggerated emotions involved in the aftermath of the mistake.
