Heartless
A Dead Giveaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blinding sun resides
Under this blanket of time
Can you find your heart?
Beneath it's killing beat
The blood will choke you
From the words you scream
And watch my veins run dry
The catastrophic ending, to this fairytale of hate
Has lost its mind
So cut along this dotted line
And watch my veins run dry
So let the tears turn to fire
And watch my eyes burn
Until there's nothing left of me
Now its too late to take it back
And say that it's okay
I never really wanted this
You wanted it your way
So cut along this dotted line
And watch my veins run dry
The catastrophic ending, to this fairytale of hate
Has lost its mind
So cut along this dotted line
And watch my veins run dry
The lyrics to A Dead Giveaway's song, Heartless, are about the end of a toxic and abusive relationship. The opening lines, "As your eyes bleed red, The blinding sun resides" describe the anger and hurt that the singer is feeling towards their partner. The next line, "Under this blanket of time, Can you find your heart?" suggests that the relationship has been going on for some time, but now the singer is questioning whether their partner is capable of feeling love or empathy. They continue with, "Beneath its killing beat, The blood will choke you, From the words you scream," which paints the picture of how difficult and painful this relationship has been.
The singer then sings, "So cut along this dotted line and watch my veins run dry," which shows how they are willing to let go of the relationship and all its pain. They continue with, "The catastrophic ending, to this fairytale of hate, Has lost its mind," which suggests that the relationship was never good to begin with, and that it was all a lie. The singer then repeats the line, "So cut along this dotted line and watch my veins run dry," which reinforces the idea that they are willing to let go of the relationship, no matter how painful it may be. The final lines, "Let the tears turn to fire, And watch my eyes burn, Until there's nothing left of me," suggest that the singer is willing to go through the pain of the breakup and let go of the relationship entirely.

As your eyes bleed red
As you are consumed by anger and hatred
The blinding sun resides
The blinding truth of the situation is clear
Under this blanket of time
In the current state of things
Can you find your heart?
Have you lost your compassion?
Beneath it's killing beat
Despite the harm it causes
The blood will choke you
Your own actions will result in your downfall
From the words you scream
From the anger and pain you express
So cut along this dotted line
End it all and sever ties
And watch my veins run dry
Watch me suffer and die
The catastrophic ending, to this fairytale of hate
The disastrous outcome of this hateful story
Has lost its mind
Has gone off the rails
So let the tears turn to fire
Let your sadness turn into rage
And watch my eyes burn
Watch my pain and suffering increase
Until there's nothing left of me
Until I am completely destroyed
Now its too late to take it back
It is now impossible to undo the damage done
And say that it's okay
And pretend it didn't happen
I never really wanted this
I never wanted things to come to this
You wanted it your way
You were unwilling to compromise
So cut along this dotted line
End this destructive relationship
And watch my veins run dry
And suffer the consequences
The catastrophic ending, to this fairytale of hate
The disastrous outcome of this hateful story
Has lost its mind
Has gone off the rails
So cut along this dotted line
End it all and sever ties
And watch my veins run dry
Watch me suffer and die
