MacGyver
MacGyver's Heart: A Poignant Tale of Heroism and Humanity
Lyrics
It starts with a call,
Introduction: The narrative begins with a phone call.
A call from his mother.
The call is from Macgyver's mother.
Sophia says "Come quick,
Sophia urgently informs about Macgyver being hurt.
Macgyver's been hurt.
Macgyver's injury occurred while he was on his way home after saving the world.
He was just on his way home
Details about Macgyver's situation.
From saving the world again,
Macgyver is a recurring hero, frequently saving the world.
He got jumped by some kids,
Macgyver was attacked by some kids.
He went down, now he's dying."
He is now in a critical condition, dying.
So I threw on my coat
The narrator puts on a coat and rushes out.
An ran out the door,
Describes the urgency of the situation.
Sped through the night
The narrator speeds through the night to reach the hospital.
To the old hospital,
Arrival at the old hospital.
Where the doctors said to wait,
Doctors instruct to wait.
So I camped in the ward,
The narrator waits in the ward.
Watching the clock
Observing time passing slowly.
As it haemorrhages time so slow.
Time seems to move slowly in the hospital.
And I've lingered here so long.
The narrator has been waiting for an extended period.
The air in here so cold.
Describes the cold air in the hospital.
The shallow breath so quiet.
Macgyver's breathing is faint and quiet.
The Shibboleth of Macguiver laid bare,
Reference to Macgyver's identity and vulnerability.
Flat on a table,
Macgyver laid out on a table, marked by unexplained bruises.
Blackened by bruises he couldn't explain.
Macgyver's injuries are severe.
And there was nothing he could build
Macgyver is unable to build anything to save himself.
To save himself
Despite his resourcefulness, Macgyver is helpless.
Out of biros and blue-tack.
Macgyver lacks materials to construct a solution.
They opened up his cavities
Medical procedures are initiated on Macgyver.
In the operating theatre,
Doctors are searching for a heart, implying a severe condition.
But the doctors couldn't find a heart,
Metaphorical description of Macgyver's health issues.
His lymph glands running motor oil.
Macgyver's vital systems are compromised.
His calloused fingers lie inert,
Macgyver's hands are motionless.
Their intricate ability
Reference to Macgyver's lost dexterity.
Punctured by the God-shaped hole
A metaphorical hole in Macgyver's consciousness.
In adolescent consciousness.
The hole is related to adolescent awareness.
He couldn't build a bomb to mend
Macgyver's skills fail in addressing his broken heart.
The splinters of his broken heart.
Reference to Macgyver's inability to use his talents for personal healing.
His home-made radar couldn't find
Macgyver's inventions cannot solve his emotional struggles.
A way to make his weapons art.
Macgyver's radar, a metaphor, cannot guide him in matters of the heart.
Macgyver bleeds out all of his rationalism. Isaac Newton, your lever is not long enough.
Macgyver abandons rationalism, bleeding out emotionally.
The scottish enlightenment a sinking ship.
Comparison to the Scottish Enlightenment as a failing endeavor.
So I left the hospital with the bleep of life support machines a memory.
Departure from the hospital, leaving behind the memory of life support sounds.
