This is a post nuclear love song. Circa 1982 in a cold war. The world was scared of the arms race between two super powers USA and USSR. The world knew that there was enough nuclear warheads to destroy the world several times over. "Melt" is the image people had of what happens to flesh after a nuclear attack. Best to spend the last seconds in the arms of one you love.
Stopping the world is simple... Destroying the planet in a nuclear holocaust is "stopping the world". It's not literal... It's a metaphor. Time is stopping... The human race is stopping... Progress is stopping.

How you would explain stopping the world, then? If the world was per-say "stopped", they wouldn't be melting..
