This One's from the Heart
Heartfelt Independence: A Musical Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
As you go out it's Independence Day
Independence Day metaphorically marks a departure or separation.
But instead I'll just pour myself a drink
The speaker chooses to cope with the situation by having a drink.
It's got to be love, I've never felt this way
Expressing strong emotions, suggesting a deep and unfamiliar love.
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reaffirmation that the song's message is sincere and heartfelt.
The shadows in the road look like a railroad track
Imagery of uncertainty and waiting, possibly for someone's return.
I wonder if he's (ever) really comin' back
Doubts about someone returning, indicated by railroad track imagery.
The moon's a yellow stain across the sky
Nighttime scene with the moon, creating a melancholic atmosphere.
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reiteration of the genuine and emotional nature of the message.
(Maybe) And I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form
Contemplating engaging in distracting activities like betting on races.
(But) And I should probably wait here by the phone
The internal struggle of waiting for communication versus distractions.
And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible
Symbolic mention of a convertible needing adjustment, possibly reflecting personal issues.
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reaffirmation that the message is genuinely from the heart.
The worm is climbin' the other color tree
Metaphorical imagery of a worm climbing a tree, possibly representing challenges.
Robin is back against the wall
The robin against the wall might symbolize feeling trapped or cornered.
Pour myself a double sympathy
Self-soothing with alcohol as a form of empathy for one's own struggles.
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Reiteration of the sincerity and emotional depth of the message.
Blonde's, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down
Mention of different women with hammers down, possibly symbolizing determination.
(To put ) don't pound a cold chisel through my heart
Caution against causing emotional pain to the speaker.
But they were nothin' but apostrophes
Describing past relationships as insignificant.
O baby, this one's from the heart
Reaffirmation of the sincerity and emotional nature of the message.
I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone
Ambiguous sounds, possibly indicating confusion or emotional turmoil.
But the roads get so slippery (when it rains)
Challenges and difficulties, likening them to slippery roads.
I love you more than all these words can ever say
Expressing a deep and indescribable love that words cannot fully convey.
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Final reassurance that the message is genuinely from the heart.
