Heart
Eternal Love Amidst Struggles: Matt Green's Heartfelt Symphony
Lyrics
I witness my feet go black with disease
I observe my feet turning black due to disease.
But my love doesn't cease and my heart keeps its beat
Despite the challenges, my love persists, and my heart continues to beat.
Your hollowed out cheeks
Refers to the emaciated appearance of someone's cheeks.
Through the mirror they leak
The emptiness or sadness of the person is evident in their reflection in the mirror.
And imprint onto me
Visual imagery of the person's features leaving a mark or impact on the speaker.
I hate it but keep you around
Expresses a conflicted feeling of dislike but a decision to keep the person close.
Cos I love you through every wheeze
Despite health issues ("wheeze"), the speaker loves the person unconditionally.
In the heat of these fastened up windows and heaps
Describes a cramped or uncomfortable environment with closed windows and heaps of clothes.
Of clothes upon clothes but you know I won't leave
Even in challenging conditions, the speaker chooses not to leave the person.
You make my mind sick but I'll take that defeat
The person's impact on the speaker's mind is negative, but the speaker accepts this defeat.
Till the end
Commitment to stay with the person until the end.
From the start
Reiteration of commitment from the beginning of the relationship.
Nothing really mattered in my heart
Emphasizes that nothing else truly mattered in the speaker's heart.
In my heart
Repetition of the idea that nothing else mattered in the speaker's heart.
Till the end
Restatement of commitment to stay until the end.
From the start
Reiteration of commitment from the start of the relationship.
Nothing really mattered in my heart
Emphasizes that nothing else truly mattered in the speaker's heart.
In my heart
Repetition of the idea that nothing else mattered in the speaker's heart.
But you were the pillars of light through the trees
The person is described as a source of support and guidance ("pillars of light").
No strength and no force but you'd never leave
Despite lacking strength, the person remains loyal and steadfast.
You would wait till the wind blew a gap in the leaves
The person waits for an opportunity to provide support, symbolized by the wind blowing a gap in the leaves.
And then mottle the floor
Describes the person's influence, creating patterns on the floor.
And imprint onto me light
Continuation of the person's positive impact, imprinting light onto the speaker.
Now I've cut all the trees and it's night
The removal of supportive elements, leading to a metaphorical night or darkness.
Till the end
Reiteration of commitment to stay until the end.
From the start
Reiteration of commitment from the beginning of the relationship.
Nothing really mattered in my heart
Emphasizes that nothing else truly mattered in the speaker's heart.
In my heart
Repetition of the idea that nothing else mattered in the speaker's heart.
Till the end
Restatement of commitment to stay until the end.
From the start
Reiteration of commitment from the start of the relationship.
Nothing really mattered in my heart
Emphasizes that nothing else truly mattered in the speaker's heart.
In my heart
Repetition of the idea that nothing else mattered in the speaker's heart.
