Heartquake
Atrox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How I'd love to experience a heartquake
But oh so afraid it will end up with a heartache

These untimely little deaths
Would leave me out of breath
Life would flash before my eyes

You might become a liability
And I a reliability
Still I'd know how it feels

The absence
Is highly present
It smothers me
Absorbs me like a black hole
The absence of longing
Fills up time and space
Tons and tons of emptiness
Weigh upon me

You're a bumpkin groping and falling
But you're my pumpkin prescious adoring
Wish for you to say it
First

Better to have failed in true love
Than never knowing what you long for




Better to feel pain
Than to feel nothing

Overall Meaning

The Atrox song "Heartquake" is a poignant and expressive exploration of the nature of love, loss, and longing. The opening lines of the song express a desire to feel a "heartquake" - a powerful, all-consuming sensation that would leave the singer breathless and in awe. However, this desire is tempered by fear - the fear of experiencing a "heartache" - the inevitable sadness and pain that often accompanies intense emotions. The singer is torn between a desire for passion and an awareness of the potential consequences of pursuing that passion.


The middle of the song is characterized by a sense of absence and longing. The singer is consumed by a feeling of emptiness, as though a part of them is missing. The lyrics suggest that this absence is caused by the lack of romance or passion in the singer's life. They feel smothered and absorbed by this emptiness, which weighs heavily on them.


The final lines of the song reveal a note of hope and optimism. The singer suggests that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. They would rather risk the pain of a broken heart than live their life without experiencing the joys of passion and connection.


Overall, "Heartquake" is a powerful and evocative exploration of the complexities of love and loss. It captures the conflicting emotions that come with pursuing passion, and ultimately suggests that even in the face of pain and heartache, the risk of love is worth taking.
