Artificial Heart
Artificial Heart: A Tale of Resilience and Dark Twists
Lyrics
It's a second hand story no one wants to hear
Describing a story that's unwanted or ignored
And it's wet with blood, salted with tears
Emphasizing the emotional pain and suffering
It's black and white and red all over
Using a play on words ("red all over") to depict a violent situation
Happens all the time
Implying the commonality of such incidents
This was something about an artificial heart
Introducing the focus on an artificial heart
She lived in a sleepy town trailer home park
Describing the setting where the victim lived
Where not many people go out after dark
Highlighting the isolation or lack of activity in the town
Innocent helpless at seventeen
Portraying the innocence of the victim at a young age
Queen of every loser's wet dream
Describing how she's idealized by those who aren't successful
Which brings us to our villain but a mother could love
Introducing the antagonist, portrayed as someone with questionable qualities
He liked amputation and the Lord above
Detailing disturbing preferences of the antagonist
He kidnapped her on her way home from school
Recounting the abduction of the victim
She lost her mind, he lost his cool
Describing the traumatic experience for both victim and perpetrator
She didn't tell him about the artificial heart
Revealing a secret about the victim's artificial heart
? then some kid found her head
Describing the discovery of body parts
Then an arm and a leg and you know the rest they said
Implying the gruesome nature of the incident
The artificial heart it was still beating
Highlighting the remarkable aspect of the artificial heart still functioning
With a needle and a thread they sewed on her head
Depicting efforts to reconstruct the victim
She's alive and well like she was never dead
Emphasizing the miraculous survival despite the trauma
She doesn't remember the day she didn't die
Illustrating the victim's memory loss regarding the event
Or how everybody cried
Reflecting on the emotional impact of the incident on others
She read a story in the paper how she was victimized
Describing the victim's reaction upon reading about her own ordeal
And you should have seen the look in her eyes
Highlighting the intensity of her emotions through her gaze
Her assailant was acquitted and as she read
Revealing the disappointing outcome of the legal proceedings
I swear she laughed off her head
Describing a bizarre reaction to the injustice, possibly a metaphorical expression
