One Heart
Chasing Redemption: Unveiling the Depths of Human Connection in Mat Kearney's 'One Heart'
Lyrics
She said I don't know if I've ever really
Expresses uncertainty about having truly trusted anyone before.
Have ever really trusted anybody
Highlights a lack of deep trust in others.
And ain't nobody ever really know me
Emphasizes a feeling of not being truly known by others.
Except the ghosts that come each night to haunt me.
Refers to haunting memories that visit during the night.
When there's so much that I still can't remember
Alludes to difficulties in recalling certain memories.
So many memories I can't surrender
Speaks to the challenge of letting go of memories.
The kind of cold that comes under your sweater
Describes a penetrating, bone-chilling cold feeling.
Cuts to the bone like you're alone forever
Conveys a sense of deep loneliness and isolation.
Like a stolen car tonight running
Compares the experience to a stolen car, possibly indicating a sense of loss of control.
On a road with a broken lines
References a journey with uncertain paths.
Running all the changing lights
Alludes to navigating through life's challenges.
To hide what's fallen from your eyes
Suggests concealing emotional pain from others.
There's got to be more than just this flesh and bone
Questions the significance of life beyond the physical body.
Tell me on more than just the scars I've known
Asks to be valued beyond visible emotional wounds.
It's all that we've loved is all we've ever owned
Affirms that love is the only possession that matters.
We're more than one, more than one heart beating alone
Asserts the interconnectedness of individuals, emphasizing shared experiences.
Last night I felt like I was going crazy
Describes a feeling of losing one's sanity.
I kept on hearing all those words replaying
Repeats the feeling of stagnation and repetition in life.
Sometimes it feels like nothing is ever changing
Expresses frustration about the perceived lack of change.
Stuck like Groundhog Day in the wars were waging
Compares life to the repetitiveness of "Groundhog Day."
And when it hurts so bad that she wanted to die
Describes intense emotional pain and thoughts of death.
Maybe we crash into each other to feel alive
Suggests that collisions with others bring a sense of aliveness.
When the ones you love are the ones that always say goodbye
Highlights the pain of farewells from loved ones.
The things you hate you do for no good reason why
Reflects on doing things one hates without clear reasons.
Like a stolen car tonight running
Repeats the metaphor of a stolen car, reinforcing a theme of loss of control.
On a road with a broken lines
Reiterates the uncertainty and broken paths in life's journey.
Running all the changing lights
Describes adapting to changing circumstances.
To hide what's fallen from your eyes
Suggests concealing emotional pain behind changing appearances.
There's got to be more than just this flesh and bone
Reiterates the quest for meaning beyond physical existence.
Tell me on more than just the scars I've known
Asks to be understood beyond visible emotional scars.
It's all that we've loved is all we've ever owned
Reiterates that love is the only lasting possession.
We're more than one, more than one heart beating alone
Emphasizes the interconnectedness of hearts.
Give me one reason one to believe
Pleads for a reason to believe and sustain faith.
And tell me there's something left to believe in
Asks for confirmation that something meaningful still exists to believe in.
To the rhythm of the heart to the rhythm of one heart
Connects belief to the rhythm and unity of hearts.
I'm still chasing cracks in the pavement
Mentions persistently seeking meaning in the midst of challenges.
Looking for the ghosts that left me waiting
Expresses the search for elusive answers or closure.
To the rhythm of one heart to the rhythm of the heart
Reiterates the connection between belief and the heartbeat.
