Hole in the Heart
Rediscovering Life's Broken Symphonies
Lyrics
I made everything come undone
The speaker caused everything to unravel or break apart.
I made everything fall apart
The speaker caused everything to disintegrate or collapse.
I quit running to the finishing line
The speaker stopped striving towards the end goal or achievement.
And I went back to the start
The speaker returned to the initial point or beginning.
I found a great big hole in the middle of my life
Discovered a significant emptiness or void in their life.
Shaped just like my heart, just like my heart
That emptiness resembled the shape of the speaker's heart.
I lost sight of what was under my feet
The speaker lost focus on what was directly beneath them.
???Cause I always had to be on top
Unclear meaning due to incomplete line.
And I was so drunk on love
The speaker was deeply infatuated or intoxicated by love.
That I didn't taste a single drop
They were so consumed by love that they missed experiencing other things.
I used to make everything run on time
The speaker used to maintain order and structure in everything.
'Til I made the whole world stop, I made it stop
They caused the entire world to come to a halt.
Now I'm watching the world move in slow motion
The speaker observes the world moving slowly, perhaps after a drastic change or realization.
Now I'm finding it easy to breathe
They find it easier to breathe now, indicating a sense of relief or calmness.
For too long I was trying to walk
They struggled excessively in difficult circumstances.
In high heels through a river of mud
Trying to navigate challenges or hardships with difficulty.
For too long I was trying to talk
Struggling to communicate amidst chaos or internal turmoil.
Over the sound of rushing blood
Trying to express oneself despite overwhelming internal noise or turmoil.
Where truth is a story scribbled in chalk
The truth is fragile, only visible briefly before a significant change or disaster.
Just an hour before the flood, before the flood
The truth disappears just before a major negative event.
Now I'm watching the world move in slow motion
Similar to line 15, observing the world's slow movements.
Now I'm finding it easy to breathe
Continuing to find ease in breathing, implying a sustained sense of relief.
I made everything come undone
Repetition of causing chaos or disorder.
I made everything fall apart
Repetition of everything falling apart.
I quit running to the finishing line
Repeating the decision to stop pursuing the final goal.
And I went back to the start
Returning to the beginning once more.
I found a great big hole in the middle of my life
Reiterating the presence of a significant emptiness or void in life.
Shaped just like my heart
Emphasizing the resemblance of the emptiness to the speaker's heart.
Just like my heart x5
Repetition emphasizing the similarity of the void to the speaker's heart.
