Hearts Unknown
Navigating Hearts Unknown: A Reflection on Modern Disconnect
Lyrics
Budding young philosophers sit down at the dinner table
Budding young philosophers gather at the dinner table.
They all stand up to pay the bill but none of them are able
They attempt to pay the bill but face difficulties in doing so.
The kids, they're staring at their phones
The youth are engrossed in their smartphones.
They're calling it "communication"
They label smartphone interactions as "communication."
They've been to the desert, they're part of the show
Despite experiencing life's challenges (desert), they are mere spectators in a show.
But they don't know what they don't know
They lack awareness of their own ignorance.
Brilliant young philosophers are making your decisions
Talented young thinkers are influencing important decisions.
A brother and sister come to blows over a broken television
Sibling conflict arises over a damaged television.
Now I'm staring at my phone, I'm not calling it communication
The speaker, like the youth, resorts to smartphone use but acknowledges it isn't genuine communication.
I've been to the desert, I'm part of the show
Similar to the youth, the speaker has been through life's challenges and is part of the show.
The things I know, the things I know
The speaker reflects on their knowledge and acknowledges limitations.
Hearts unknown beat alone
Unknown hearts beat in isolation, suggesting emotional solitude.
Who's god will save your soul?
The question arises about whose God can offer salvation for their souls.
Your soul is long gone
The soul is described as already lost or distant.
Hearts unknown beat alone
Isolated hearts continue to beat alone.
Who's god will save your soul?
The question of divine salvation for the soul is reiterated.
Hearts unknown beat alone
Lonely hearts persist in beating alone, emphasizing solitude.
They don't know rock and roll
A commentary on their lack of understanding of rock and roll, possibly symbolizing a broader ignorance.
