As My Heart Explodes
Exploring Love's Transformative Power Through "As My Heart Explodes
Lyrics
I was so strong, so indestructible
I had a strong and indestructible demeanor.
But I guess I was wrong
I acknowledge that I was mistaken.
I thought I was bulletproof, until you came along
I thought I was invincible until you entered my life.
I used to throw away everything until I heard you say
I used to discard everything until you told me to value something.
“Take this light and hold it close to you.”
You instructed me to embrace this light closely.
She said “Think of me, when there is darkness inside of you.”
You asked me to remember you during my dark times.
Out of the cold
Exiting a cold state, I started feeling something new with you.
Started to feel something new with you
Emotions were stirred, and I found warmth in our connection.
Had something to hold, it was warm and new
I had something tangible to hold onto, a new and warm experience.
I used to throw away everything until I heard you say
Similar to line 4, reiterating the impact of your words.
“Take this light and hold it close to you.”
You emphasized holding onto the light you provided.
She said “Think of me, when there is darkness inside of you.”
Reiteration of the importance of remembering in dark times.
So watch as my heart explodes in front of you
My heart is metaphorically exploding, revealing intense emotions.
A million pieces of me are flying towards you
Emphasizing the emotional impact, with pieces reaching the other person.
Please cover your face I don’t want this to hurt you
Requesting the other person to shield themselves from potential emotional pain.
And I believe that I can see through you
Expressing a belief in understanding the other person deeply.
I believe that I am free from you
Asserting a sense of freedom from the other person.
The colours have changed
Describing a change in colors, possibly reflecting emotional shifts.
And it’s getting dark but the light inside had started to fade until I hear you say
Despite darkness, the internal light started fading until your reminder.
“Take this light and hold it close to you.”
Reiterating the importance of holding onto the provided light.
She said “Think of me, when there is darkness inside of you.”
Repeated emphasis on remembering in darkness.
I saw you, I saw you standing there
The narrator observed someone, possibly the subject of the song.
Who was the one holding your hand?
Questioning who was holding the person's hand.
Who was the one, standing where you stand?
Wondering about the identity of the person standing in the narrator's place.
So I just walked away and I didn’t say a word
The narrator silently walked away without speaking.
'Til you saw me, looking back at you
The other person noticed the narrator looking back.
We both just stood and stared
Both stood and stared at each other in a moment of realization.
And then I closed my eyes
The narrator closed their eyes, perhaps reflecting on the situation.
So watch as my heart explodes in front of you
Reiteration of the metaphorical explosion of the heart.
A million pieces of me are flying towards you
Repeating the imagery of emotional pieces reaching the other person.
Please cover your face I don’t want this to hurt you
Requesting the other person to shield themselves from potential emotional pain, repeated.
And I believe that I can see through you
Reasserting the belief in understanding the other person deeply.
I believe that I am free from you
Reiterating a sense of freedom from the other person, repeated.
