Heartbreak
Age Of Consent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I find myself alone
i think of you on your own
in silence staring at the sun
i thought our love had just begun
but then i find myself inside
your broken heart it's open, open wide

when was love ever mentioned
you say to me now
this was not my intention

Every night i lie awake
i can feel my heart break
but then i lie and close my eyes
we are together now
heartbreak

my dreams are lost and full of hope
they take me all around the globe
i dream of dying every night
my heart it aches for you

but then I save you
then I find my self inside
your broken heart it's open, open wide

when was love ever mentioned
you say to me now
this was not my intention

Every night i lie awake
i can feel my heart break
but then i lie and close my eyes
we are together now
heartbreak

Every night i lie awake
i can feel my heart break
then i lie and close my eyes
we are together now
heartbreak

Heartbreak

Every night i lie awake

Overall Meaning

The song 'Heartbreak' by Age Of Consent is about the aftermath of a romantic relationship. The singer is longing for their ex-partner, feeling the pangs of heartbreak and missing them deeply. The verses describe the singer's loneliness and how they think about their ex when they are alone. They imagine their ex-partner, also alone and staring at the sun in silence. The singer thinks that their love had just begun, but the partner’s heart was already broken. The chorus of the song is central to its meaning. The singer talks about how every night they lie awake and feel their heart break, but when they close their eyes, they imagine being with their ex again, reliving previous memories. The title "Heartbreak" summarizes the singer's deep sense of sorrow and pain due to their separation from their significant other.


In the second verse, the singer describes their dreams which are both "lost" and "full of hope". They travel the world in their imagination but the pain persists in their sleep. They dream of death, but then recreate their partner who is once again vulnerable, opening up to them once again. It appears that the former lover is now just a figment of their dream and they may not be able to make it a reality since there was never mentioned of love before. The song conveys an emotional continuity between sleep and waking states, sometimes making it difficult for the singer to discern between what is reality and what is not when they wake up.

i dream of dying every night
my heart it aches for you

I don't care if Radio Mirror Park from GTA is considered hipster music, it's fucking good hipster music...

@ReiCaixa

David Gray That's the best radio, have you ever heard the things he say?

"Radio Mirror Park. If you have a request, we don't take emails, or bleets, or even phone calls. Get a fountain pen, and some paper and write us a letter. Seal it with wax from your own special seal, make a collage, do something artistic for once! Art is whatever you say it is, especially if you're charging other people for it. But Radio Mirror Park is the ultimate art. Art that disappears a few seconds later, and you could tell your friends how good it was, and they can all wish they were there. That's what feels irony - envy."

@bigdgray98

Crates Driver wow, that's really cool that you can remember all that 😃

@ReiCaixa

David Gray I'm always listening to Radio Mirror Park, and I'm always inside the car, he says it everyday

@ian9564

+David Gray I have been all about my Trance and Hardstyle... Then RMP opened my eyes to this.... Not listened to another station on GTA since.

@darrenrobertc3238
