Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase change of a substance from a solid to a liquid. The internal energy of a substance is increased, typically by the application of heat or pressure, resulting in a rise of its temperature to the melting point, at which the rigid ordering of molecular entities in the solid breaks down to a less-ordered state and the solid liquefies. An object that has melted completely is molten. Substances in the molten state generally have reduced viscosity with elevated temperature; an exception to this maxim is the element sulfur, whose viscosity increases with higher temperatures in its molten state.
Some organic compounds melt through mesophases, states of partial order between solid and liquid.
When a substance melts and the solid and liquid phases are in an equilibrium, it maintains a constant temperature, the melting point. The energy used for melting is a latent heat. This characterizes the process of melting as a first-order phase transition.
Götz George ist Schimanski
At the back of my grandmother's house there was a hill
With a tangled garden thick and wild
We used to go there, you and I, as children
Slipping away from the aunts and uncles and their home made brew
We carried our ice creams in the Summer sun
Trying to make them last as long as we could
Pretty soon they started to run
Dripping down our arms, dripping on the ground
Melting
We sat under the trees smoking bark
Lighting little fires and stompin' each one out
As the Summer went on the flames grew higher
We just stared and stared and stared at everything melting
Melting
At the back of my grandmother's house there was a hill
Black and smoking at the end of the day
We watched the fire trucks go back on down the road
We heard them calling out our names
We were standing in the shadows, melting
Melting, melting
Now my grandmother's house is a supermarket
And I'm far away, living in a colder city
And tonight I've pulled the top off a bottle of beer
And I've lit a fire and I'm staring, staring
Where are you, where are you now?
You're melting, we're all melting, melting, melting, melting
I will sing you a song, I will save you a dance
if you just give me a chance
A little piece of your mind, little bit of your time
to let it unwind
see...
What is it I don't get, something I'll never forget
something good that hasn't even started yet
its so good that it's bad
it might be the best damn thing that I ever had...
Happen to me, well you see
I'm still melting
over you, I'm still holding on
and baby well,
I'm still melting
cause I fell hard, but not hard enough...you didn't even notice
I took that risk and I jumped ship
and now I'm waving my arms drowning in the ocean
while you go on saying everything I've been trying to say
and now id be foolish to let you get away
so stay with me awhile...
cause I'm still melting
over you,
ohh well I'm still holding on
to all your words
and I'm still feeling love, love, love,
I'm still melting
so lets get out of here
feel like chasing my fears
you never said too much, I shoulda took it as a clue
that it would only be a matter of time, till I was falling all over you
cause I'm still melting
over you, I'm still holding on
I'm still dreaming, so don't wake me yet
cause I, I don't want to forget
how you picked me back up
and you lay my head down
and now I feel you heavy, over me
and now I'm in to deep now
well...
I'm still melting....
over you....
yeah I'm still holding on...
baby, I'm still dreaming, so don't wake me yet, cause i....
that's the life you lead, that's the time you feed, that's the dream you let go anyway, that's the time you live, that's the life yeah, and you. that's the time you lead, that's the time, that's the dream you let go, that's the time you live. your lost no tears, no jesus christ, no thoughts no tears, no jesus christ, your lost, no tears, no jesus christ, no vision, a void, no sacrifice, no devotion, no time spent, on blood lust tears fucking government, anarchy expulsion, condition of communism, mental crush, anti christ, anti christ, jesus christ, no tears, no jesus christ, no jesus christ, jesus christ. that's the way you live, that's the way it is. that's the life you fall on, on holy vision, that's the dream you live, that's your life...
