Open Your Heart
Celebration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what's the same
I don't know
my chest beats like a drum
will the hammer come down?
I reach out
you just shout
my chest beats like a drum
will we ever come out?
All I knew was life... before
then I walked out our front door
All along and here for the second wind
will tell you that someone... loves
And I know that this somethin
feels real
oooooooooooooopen your heart
All I knew was life... before
then I walked out our front door
ooooooo it's so hard to keep
when love, it cuts you so deep
open your heart to me
The song "Open Your Heart" by Celebration explores themes of vulnerability, fear, and the complexities of relationships. The opening lyrics, "I'm to blame, what's the same, I don't know," suggest a sense of confusion and doubt on the part of the singer. They feel responsible for something, but aren't sure exactly what it is. The line "my chest beats like a drum, will the hammer come down?" suggests a sense of impending danger or judgment, and the singer is uncertain if they will be able to handle it.
The second verse continues this theme of uncertainty and fear, with the singer reaching out to someone who responds by shouting back. The repeated line "my chest beats like a drum, will we ever come out?" suggests a desire for connection and intimacy, but a fear that it may be impossible to achieve.
The chorus provides some hope and a sense of possibility, with the lyrics "All along and here for the second wind, will tell you that someone loves, and I know that this something feels real, open your heart." These lyrics suggest that despite the difficulties and challenges, the singer believes that love is still possible if both parties open themselves up to it.
Overall, "Open Your Heart" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the importance of vulnerability and openness in finding love.
