Little Dark Heart
Journey of the Little Dark Heart: A Tale of Fate and Loneliness
Lyrics
It's a funny start
There's an unusual beginning or situation
But I have no home
The speaker feels displaced or without a place to belong
I have no name
The speaker lacks an identity or sense of self
I have no one
The speaker lacks companionship or connections
Except this little dark heart
The only constant is the speaker's troubled heart
Fate playing her part
Fate is influencing events
I have no one
The lack of significant relationships persists
And I'm not one to say
The speaker hesitates to speak out
But she has a way
Another person has a captivating manner
Of winding that thread
This person knows how to navigate situations skillfully
She has a way
Repeated emphasis on this person's abilities
Now there's this little dark heart
The troubled heart remains a central aspect
Fate playing her part
Fate continues to play a role
She has her ways
Emphasizing the person's methods or strategies
One is left in a ditch by the highway
Describes abandonment or isolation
The other 'neath the tax bureau gate
Implies unfortunate circumstances and societal structures
Wherever you come from that's where you go
Suggests a cycle of life and destiny
They lie gazing at the stars and they wait
Individuals left alone, contemplating life
They lie gazing at the stars and they wait
Reiteration of solitude and waiting
I've read all the books and they go away
Even after gaining knowledge, things fade
They turn their backs
Turning away, rejecting, or abandoning
They go away
People leaving or disappearing
The long journey start
A journey begins for the troubled heart
For that little dark heart
Reiteration of the troubled heart's isolation
She has no one
Continued absence of connections
I make a fresh start you fall apart
The speaker tries to move forward, but others struggle
And they go away
People departing or fading away
