The Divided Heart
Elvenking Lyrics

Two sided heart pushing to face
The singer is struggling with a heart that is conflicted and unsure of its own desires.

Another walk from the start
The singer feels like they are starting over in life and unsure how to navigate their conflicting emotions.

Shifting my soul to what was heaven before
The singer longs for something they once had, but now it feels out of reach or unattainable.

And now's just a stain, a novelty no more
The thing the artist once valued is now only a memory, something that has lost its luster or significance over time.

Passion and soul together
The artist's strong emotions and deepest desires are working in tandem.

Deceiving my brain and I fall
The singer understands that their emotions could lead them astray if they don't keep their rational mind in check.

But soon they will fade delighted by something else
The singer is aware that their emotions are fleeting and will eventually shift their attention to something else.

And now I rewind, one more time
The artist is caught in a cycle of repeating their mistakes and missteps.

Waiting for
The artist is anticipating something, but it is not clear what.

All the feeling's now in vain
The artist feels like their emotions have been for nothing, and that they are unable to connect with what they desire most.

The divided heart
The singer's internal struggle between their mind and their emotions.

Tearing me apart the divided heart
The artist's internal struggle is causing them immense pain and confusion.

Playing it's game for all these wasted years
The singer feels like they have lost too much time struggling with their inner conflict.

I have been walking alone
The singer feels like they are the only one grappling with their internal struggle and have a sense of isolation as a result.

Your blood is mine, the shivers it's sending me
The singer is haunted by someone else's actions or influence, and it's having a physical effect on them.

Just right through my spine
The physical effect of the artist's emotional turmoil is so strong that it feels like it's coursing through their entire body.

We're gonna crawl, splitting my heart in two
The artist feels like their inner conflict is going to get worse before it gets better, and it will further divide them.

And haunting my soul, illusioned no more
The singer is facing the harsh reality of their situation and can no longer ignore the effects of their internal struggle.

The tears that I don't cry
The singer is bottling up their emotions, and it's causing them even more pain.

Won't fill my eyes but pain inside
Even if the artist can't express their emotions, they are still feeling the full effects of their internal struggle.

I feel is real, pain is real
The artist's emotional pain is not imagined, but real and affecting their life deeply.

Until the day I'll die
The artist feels like this internal struggle will be with them for the rest of their life.

Oh carried, carried away
The singer feels like they are being carried away by their internal conflict, unable to control it.

Carried away, away
The artist feels like their internal conflict is taking them further and further from what they truly want in life.
