Heart Like a Wheel
Love's Turmoil: A Heart Like a Wheel Unveiled
Lyrics
Some say a heart is just like a wheel
Some people compare a heart to a wheel, suggesting that once it's damaged, it's irreparable.
When you bend it, you can't mend it
Once a heart is hurt or broken, it's challenging to repair.
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
The speaker's love for someone is likened to a sinking ship, possibly indicating a feeling of impending doom or failure.
And my heart is like that ship out in mid ocean
The speaker's heart is compared to a ship lost at sea, conveying a sense of being adrift or lost in emotional turmoil.
They say that death is a tragedy
Death is often seen as a tragic event that happens only once and concludes.
It comes once and it's over
Contrasting the permanence of death, the speaker's wish seems to be for an end to their emotional suffering.
But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss
The desire for an escape from emotional pain, asking for relief from a life devoid of genuine love.
Cause what's the use of living with no true lover
The speaker questions the purpose of living without experiencing true love.
And it's only love, and it's only love
Love, being the sole force powerful enough to cause profound emotional upheaval and turmoil.
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
Love's capacity to deeply affect and disrupt a person's inner world.
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
Reiteration of the idea that love has the power to profoundly affect and transform a person.
When harm is done no love can be won
Once harm is inflicted, it becomes impossible to attain love.
I know this happens frequently
Recognition that harmful actions frequently obstruct the possibility of love.
What I can't understand
The speaker expresses confusion about why they are facing such pain and suffering.
Oh please God hold my hand
A plea for divine guidance and support in the midst of emotional turmoil.
Is why it should have happened to me
The speaker questions the reason behind their unfortunate situation.
And it's only love and it's only love
Repeated emphasis on the overwhelming power of love to cause upheaval.
And it's only love and it's only love
Reiteration of the immense impact and influence of love.
Only love, only love
Emphasis on the significance of love as a prevailing force.
Only love, only love
Reiteration of the emphasis on the power and centrality of love in human experience.
