Stereo Hearts
Gym Class Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio (yeah)
And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up a little bit)
This melody was meant for you (yeah, right there)
Just sing along to my stereo
(Gym Class Heroes, baby)
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like ye-yeah, chicka, Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note (yeah, yeah, yeah, come on)
Make me your radio (uh-huh)
And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, to my stereo
Oh, oh, oh
So sing along to my stereo
Let's go
If I was an old-school, fifty-pound boombox (remember them?)
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops? (Turn it up)
And crank it higher every time they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me (mad at me)
When you have to purchase mad D batteries (batteries)
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make (friends make)
You never know, we come and go like on the interstate (never know)
I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo (yeah)
It beats for you, so listen close (listen)
Hear my thoughts in every note (oh, oh)
Make me your radio (come on)
And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo (just sing along, like)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, to my stereo
Oh, oh, oh
So sing along to my stereo (sing along, sing along)
I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine (yeah)
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind (yeah, yeah, come on, woo)
My heart's a stereo (yeah)
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note (oh, oh, oh)
Make me your radio (uh-huh)
And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up)
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, to my stereo
Oh, oh, oh (it's your boy, Travie)
(Gym Class Heroes, baby)
So sing along to my stereo (yeah)
The song "Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes is a love song that compares the singer's heart to a stereo that beats for his lover. The lyrics express a desire to be heard by the lover through the melody of the song, inviting them to listen to the thoughts expressed in every note. The chorus encourages the lover to "sing along to my stereo," which is a metaphor for being in sync and in harmony in a relationship.
However, the song also addresses the insecurities that can arise in a relationship, as the singer questions whether they would be treated like "just another dusty record on the shelf" or if their lover could "handle" scratching their back. The lyrics also touch on the idea of moving on from past grudges and being fully present in the current relationship. But ultimately, the song is a declaration of love, with the singer asking for the lover's attention, commitment, and affection.
Overall, "Stereo Hearts" is a cleverly written song that uses musical metaphors to express the emotions of love, insecurity, and devotion in a relationship.
