Heavy Heart
Weight of Longing: A Tale of Yearning and Melancholy
Lyrics
Been watching too much TV
Expressing excessive consumption of television.
I'm thinner than I should be
Indicating physical thinness beyond normal.
I'm like a waterlogged ball
Feeling emotionally heavy and burdensome, like an unwanted object.
That no one wants to kick around anymore
Suggesting a sense of rejection or neglect.
Got an all-day morning hairdo
Describing a messy and unruly hairstyle that is hard to manage.
That no comb can get through
Highlighting the difficulty of grooming the mentioned hairstyle.
It's all granola and beer
Referring to a lifestyle involving health-conscious and beer-related elements.
A calling card and a silk-cut souvenir
Mentioning remnants of past experiences, possibly regrets.
I miss you like sleep
Expressing a strong sense of longing or desire.
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
Highlighting the non-romantic and challenging aspects of the speaker's life.
The morning's when it starts
Pointing to the morning as a difficult time for the speaker.
I don't look so sharp
Describing a decline in appearance during the morning.
Now I got a heavy heart
Expressing a profound emotional burden or sadness.
I talk a lot about football
Discussing topics that may serve as distractions or coping mechanisms.
And girls I kissed in grade four
Recalling past romantic experiences from childhood.
I piss off my friends
Admitting to causing annoyance or irritation to friends.
And I'm digging a hole just staring at the floor
Indicating a state of emotional withdrawal or contemplation.
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain
Symbolizing the stains or imperfections in the speaker's life.
I'm lovin' cigarettes again
Reverting to old habits, possibly for comfort.
I know every tune about guys and girls and hurts and hearts and moons
Claiming familiarity with various aspects of life, love, and pain.
I miss you like sleep
Reiterating the strong sense of longing or desire.
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
Emphasizing the unromantic nature of the speaker's lifestyle.
It's the mornings when it starts
Pointing to the morning as a challenging time for the speaker.
I don't dress so sharp
Noting a decline in the speaker's appearance during the morning.
Now I've got a heavy heart
Repeating the expression of a heavy emotional burden or sadness.
It's just a low-rent paying, palpitating pulp inside my shirt
Describing a physical sensation, possibly related to stress or anxiety.
But there's a weight that's hitting so hard, god, it hurts
Conveying an intense emotional weight that causes pain.
Oh my god, it hurts
Expressing the overwhelming and painful nature of the emotional burden.
Been watching so much TV
Reiterating the theme of excessive TV consumption.
I'm thinner than I should be
Reiterating the theme of physical thinness beyond normal.
I'm like a waterlogged ball
Repeating the metaphor of feeling emotionally heavy and burdensome.
That no one wants to kick around anymore
Recalling the sense of rejection or neglect from earlier in the lyrics.
I miss you like sleep
Reiterating the strong sense of longing or desire.
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
Emphasizing the unromantic nature of the speaker's lifestyle.
It's the mornings when it starts
Pointing to the morning as a challenging time for the speaker.
Oh my heavy heart
Repeating the expression of a heavy emotional burden or sadness.
