Hearts on Fire
Hearts on Fire: A Midnight Symphony of Lost Love and City Lights
Lyrics
Drive down 12th past your old apartment
Reflecting on the past by driving past the speaker's old apartment on 12th Street.
Monuments to lives we used to know
Notable structures or memories from the past, representing a time that is no longer present.
Shine like stars in the glow of headlights
Recalling memories that shine like stars, illuminated by passing car headlights.
My frequency set to rock and roll
The speaker's mindset is tuned into the energy and spirit of rock and roll.
Turn up 5th Street and I head downtown
Driving on 5th Street and reminiscing about past experiences in the downtown area.
Thinking about the times we used to runThe streets to the tune of a three chord song
Remembering running through the streets set to the music of a simple three-chord song.
I sit back and wonder where you've gone
Expressing a sense of loss and wondering where someone important has gone.
As I turn up the dial I'll pretend that you're there
Turning up the radio dial to feel closer to the absent person, creating a pretend presence.
As the moon beams down like a heart on fire
Describing the moon shining down intensely, symbolizing a passionate longing or emotion.
Burn through the nightBurning through the night with a heart on fire
Emphasizing the intensity of emotions, burning through the night with a heart on fire.
Maybe there was always something in us
Suggesting an inherent element in the relationship or connection between the speaker and the absent person.
Scorching our veins like gasoline
Metaphorically comparing a strong internal force to gasoline, possibly signifying passion or intensity.
Destined to burn, destined to burn
Expressing a sense of destiny, as if the intense emotions were meant to burn brightly.
Destined to tear down everything
Suggesting that the intense emotions are fated to dismantle or disrupt various aspects of life.
That we love in ourselves
Acknowledging the destructive nature of intense emotions towards things we cherish within ourselves.
But should you need a faulted friend
If the absent person needs a flawed friend, the speaker is available for support.
You can find me here again
Reassuring the availability of the speaker as a friend despite imperfections.
Don't you wanna go back now
Posing a rhetorical question about returning to the past, suggesting a desire to relive certain moments.
