The Heart Is Old
A Dance with Pain: Unraveling the Depths of 'The Heart Is Old'
Lyrics
She came across the room without notice,
She entered the room unnoticed.
The tears and the blood locked in the walls
The emotional turmoil and suffering were embedded in the environment.
She took one step, two steps, three steps,
She took a few steps and started dancing.
Soon she was dancing
Dancing became a form of expression for her.
She said here is where I will find peace
She expressed a desire to find peace in that place.
But the heart is old and the pain must grow,
The heart is aged, and pain is inevitable, a natural part of life.
It's the one thing you can't skip
Pain cannot be avoided or overlooked.
It's the broken jaw, it's the cut from the saw,
References to physical pain and challenges she faces.
It's the shape from which she must bend
Her struggles have shaped her existence.
She took Tuinal and Seconol but still she couldn't find it
Despite taking certain medications, she couldn't find the peace she sought.
The peace that she needed so bad
The peace she desperately needed was elusive.
But the heart is old and the pain must grow,
Reiteration of the aging heart and the inevitability of pain.
It's the one thing you can't skip
Restating that pain cannot be avoided or skipped.
It's the broken jaw, it's the cut from the saw,
Reiteration of physical and metaphorical pain.
It's the shape from which she must bend
Reemphasizing the impact of struggles on her identity.
What was it she saw on the roof that night
Reflecting on something significant she witnessed on the roof.
What reshaped her face
Questioning what caused a change in her facial expression.
On the roof that night, what was it she saw
Reiterating the mystery of what she saw on the roof.
What stole all that light
Something stole the light from her life and buried it deep beneath.
And put it deep down under and beneath
Describing the profound impact of the event on her inner self.
