My Heart Won't Bleed
Healing Through Dry Tears: Decoding Thom Artway's 'My Heart Won't Bleed'
Lyrics
When did you change your mind?
Questioning when the change in mindset occurred.
Tell me now...
Urging for an immediate response or explanation.
Collecting pieces of my heart
Trying to recover the shattered parts of the heart.
From the ground
Metaphorically referencing the broken state of the heart.
I won’t cry no no no...
Emphasizing a decision not to cry.
I won’t cry
Reiterating the determination not to cry.
‘cause lake of tears
Comparing tears to a lake, indicating a scarcity of tears.
Is getting dry
Noting the diminishing availability of tears.
Wonderin‘ if I‘ll meet you again
Contemplating the possibility of meeting again.
Hope desire will stay at home
Wishing that longing or aspirations will remain at home.
I’m looking for a bigger flat now
Seeking a larger space or change in life circumstances.
I found what i was looking for
Expressing finding what was sought after.
Again...looking at your face with no fear...
Reassuringly looking at someone’s face without fear.
Again...looking at your face with no fear...
Repeating the comfort of facing someone without fear.
REF
Reference point or break in the song.
Day after day
Highlighting the passage of time.
Week after week
Continuing to emphasize the passage of time.
This day is coming now
Anticipation of a specific moment arriving.
My heart won’t bleed
Declaring that the heart won’t suffer anymore.
When did you change your mind?
Repeating the question about the change in mindset.
Tell me now...
Reiterating the request for an explanation or revelation.
Collecting pieces of my heart
Referencing the process of healing the heart.
From the ground
Metaphorically speaking about picking up broken emotions.
I won’t cry no no no...
Asserting the decision not to cry.
I won’t cry
Reaffirming the determination not to cry.
‘cause this lake of tears
Repeating the metaphor of dried tears.
Is getting dry
Highlighting the continued scarcity of tears.
REF
Reference point or break in the song.
Day after day

Week after week

My heart won’t bleed
Declaring the resolved state of the heart, reaffirming it won’t suffer.
