Haunted
Burdened Hearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take this pain in my chest
Lay me down
Let me rest
I haven't slept and I guess
That I am facing the fact
That I am haunted
I have an amity with my insanity
I can't find rest

Take this pain in my chest
Lay me down
Let me rest
I haven't slept and I guess
That I am facing the fact
That I am haunted




I have an amity with my insanity
I can't find rest

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the artist expresses a deep and profound emotional pain that they carry within their heart. The pain is described as a heavy burden that weighs them down, preventing them from finding peace and rest. The plea to "lay me down" and "let me rest" reflects the desire for respite from the constant turmoil and fatigue caused by their unresolved emotions.


The repetition of the phrase "I haven't slept" highlights the insomnia or restlessness that accompanies this emotional pain. It suggests that the artist is constantly plagued by their thoughts and feelings, unable to find solace in sleep. This lack of rest exacerbates the haunting nature of their inner turmoil and contributes to their overall sense of being haunted.


The realization that they are "facing the fact" of being haunted signifies a moment of acceptance. They acknowledge the presence of this haunting within themselves, possibly referencing unresolved trauma or emotional wounds that continue to resurface. This recognition suggests a level of self-awareness and a willingness to confront and grapple with their own inner demons.


The line "I have an amity with my insanity" showcases a somewhat complex relationship with their own state of mind. The use of the term "amity" implies a familiarity or even a sense of companionship with their inner turmoil, suggesting that they may have become accustomed to the chaos and turmoil within them. However, the following line "I can't find rest" indicates a desire to break free from this constant cycle and find a sense of peace.


Overall, these lyrics convey the deeply personal and emotionally charged struggle that the artist is experiencing. They depict the weight of emotional pain and the desperate longing for respite and a release from the haunting grip it has on their heart and mind.

Almost 3 years later and it's still as good as the first time I listened to it.
