My Heart Is Lost
Blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gold hair shinin' in the sun in the back of a Cadillac
Ripped jeans pullin' you tight
How does it feel bout D'Angelo playin' on the radio
Glass cold, gripped in your hand and a bottle of cognac
Up late, howlin' at the moon in the heart of Los Angeles

Oh, yeah
I wonder who is gonna love you
I wonder who is gonna love you
If it ain't me, if it ain't me, if it ain't me
I wonder who is gonna love you

I fall in love the more you ignore me
Conversation gets stale, conversation gets boring
Missed calls, and unread texts
But none of them are important none of them are from you

Oh, yeah
I wonder who is gonna love you
I wonder who is gonna love you
If it ain't me, if it ain't me, if it ain't me
I wonder who is gonna love you

Tattoos fadin' in the sun in the back of a Cadillac
Up late, high on cocaine in the heart of Los Angeles
And I wonder, and I wonder who you're under
Does he do it like me, he don't do it like me

Oh, yeah
I wonder who is gonna love you
I wonder who is gonna love you
If it ain't me, if it ain't me, if it ain't me
I wonder who is gonna love you

In the heart of Los Angeles
My heart is lost, my heart is lost
In the heart of Los Angeles
My heart is lost, my heart is lost
In the heart of Los Angeles
My heart is lost, my heart is lost




In the heart of Los Angeles
My heart is lost, my heart is lost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blackbear's "My Heart Is Lost" describe a bittersweet and reflective mood about a past relationship. The singer sets the scene in the heart of Los Angeles, where the singer is driving in a Cadillac with a partner, watching the sun and listening to D'Angelo on the radio. However, the scene starts to change as the singer reflects on a fading relationship, with the partner's ripped jeans and tattoos starting to fade in the sun. The singer feels ignored and forgotten, with missed calls and unread texts, leading to the nagging feeling that their partner will move on to someone else. Despite this, the singer can't help wondering who their former partner will end up with and if they will ever find someone to love them as much as they did.


The song's lyrics highlight the universal feeling of longing and heartache after a relationship ends. The nostalgic imagery of a car ride through L.A. and the warmth of the sun paint a vivid picture, but the scene quickly turns dark as the singer reflects on the communication breakdown between the two people. The repeated question of who will love the partner next underscores the singer's hurt and confusion, with the uncertainty of the answer only exacerbating their pain. The lyrics are straightforward and melancholy, offering a raw portrayal of post-breakup emotions.

I like how "Deadroses" seems to be about a relationship that bear misses and "Digital Druglord" is basically saying "fuck that noise"
