Nikita
Nikita's Frozen Heart: A Tale of Longing and Liberation
Lyrics
Hey Nikita is it cold
Expressing curiosity about Nikita's current emotional state or situation.
In your little corner of the world
Asking if Nikita feels isolated in her own world.
You could roll around the globe
Suggesting the possibility of Nikita exploring the world but not finding a warmer soul.
And never find a warmer soul to know
Highlighting the idea that there's no one with a warmer soul than the speaker.
Oh I saw you by the wall
Describing a visual encounter with Nikita by a wall.
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
Imagery of soldiers in a row, possibly symbolizing obstacles or challenges.
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
Describing Nikita's intense and captivating gaze.
The human heart a captive in the snow
Metaphorically portraying the human heart as captive in the snow, suggesting emotional coldness or distance.
Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
Conveying that Nikita will never understand the speaker's home or background.
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Expressing the speaker's longing and the impossibility of experiencing the warmth of holding Nikita.
Nikita I need you so
Reiterating the emotional need for Nikita.
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Suggesting Nikita is on the other side of a temporal or metaphorical line.
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Repeating the image of soldiers, emphasizing a persistent challenge or barrier.
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
Reaffirming that Nikita will never comprehend the speaker's feelings.
Do you ever dream of me
Pondering if Nikita dreams about the speaker.
Do you ever see the letters that I write
Asking if Nikita reads the letters written by the speaker.
When you look up through the wire
Referencing a barrier or separation, possibly physical or emotional.
Nikita do you count the stars at night
Questioning if Nikita counts stars, possibly implying counting time or waiting.
And if there comes a time
Contemplating a future where barriers no longer confine Nikita.
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
Suggesting freedom and the ability to make choices.
And if you're free to make a choice
Encouraging Nikita to seek friendship in the west.
Just look towards the west and find a friend
Repeating that Nikita won't understand the speaker's home.
Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
Reiterating the unbridgeable gap between Nikita and the speaker.
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Repeating the impossibility of experiencing the warmth of holding Nikita.
Nikita I need you so
