Heart of Steel
Crimson Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining, hidden in fear
Strangers feeding upon your soul
Call me on through the darkness
Hold me deep in your heaven
Touch me with fingers of velvet blue
Fingers of misty blue...
Feelings deep as the ocean
Danger walks with a fragile heart
Got to have a heart of steel
Heart of steel
Yeah, heart of steel
You journey through my mind
Over the walls of pain
Angels of lust guard my domain
While dark eyes shine in the mirror
Searching for someone
Strangers, cold as the winter wind
Fade away
Got to have a heart of steel
Heart of steel
Got to have a heart of steel
Heart of steel Lonely freedom, eyes on pain
Tears will fall like silent rain
Hearts will shatter, feelings fade
Somehow it always seems the same
My love hides like a dark star
Laughing, hidden in silence
Strangers cold as the winter wind
Fade away
Feelings deep as the ocean
Cold waves whisper their warning
Danger walks with a fragile heart
Walks with a fragile heart
Got to have a heart of steel
Heart of steel
Got to have a heart of steel
Heart of steel
Cause the feelings come and go
And you never really know
If the feeling's ever real
So you got to have a heart of steel
You got to have a heart of steel
The song "Heart of Steel" by Crimson Glory explores the theme of love and the challenges it poses. The first verse of the song reveals that the singer's love interest is hiding their love like a dark star, shining but hidden in fear. The strangers that feed on their soul represent the obstacles that stand in their way. However, the singer is asking their love interest to call them through the darkness and hold them deep in their heaven. The fingers of velvet blue or misty blue represent the love that is surrounding them. The line "feelings deep as the ocean" signifies the depth of their emotions that are bound together by a fragile heart. The singer realizes that in order to make their love work, they need to have a heart of steel.
The second verse explores the struggles and challenges that the singer and their love interest face. The singer is journeying through their mind over the walls of pain. The angels of lust symbolize the temptations that they face along the way, but they are guarded by their own domain. However, they are searching for someone who can understand their struggles and feelings. The strangers who are cold as the winter wind fade away. The chorus repeats that in order to overcome these struggles, they both need to have a heart of steel.
The overall meaning of the song is that love is a fragile thing and can be easily destroyed unless both parties are willing to endure the hardships and have a heart of steel. The lyrics suggest that it's not enough to want love, but to also be willing to put in the work to make it work.

Questioning whether the feelings are genuine or just fleeting emotions
So you got to have a heart of steel

Manuela Lavore
Il tuo amore si nasconde come una stella scuro
brillante, nascosto nella paura, estranei alimentazione
Al vostro anima, mi chiamano attraverso l'oscurità
Il tuo amore si nasconde come una stella scuro
brillante, nascosto nella paura, estranei alimentazione
Al vostro anima, mi chiamano attraverso l'oscurità
Hold me nel profondo del tuo cielo
mi toccare con le dita di velluto blu
Dita di blu nebbioso
Hold me nel profondo del tuo cielo
mi toccare con le dita di velluto blu
Dita di blu nebbioso
Sentimenti profondi come l'oceano
onde fredde sussurrano il loro avvertimento
di pericolo cammina con un cuore fragile
Sentimenti profondi come l'oceano
onde fredde sussurrano il loro avvertimento
di pericolo cammina con un cuore fragile
Avuto modo di avere un cuore d'acciaio
Cuore d'acciaio
Sì, cuore d'acciaio
Avuto modo di avere un cuore d'acciaio
Cuore d'acciaio
Sì, cuore d'acciaio
Tu viaggio attraverso la mia mente
sulle pareti di dolore, angeli di lussuria
Guardia mio dominio mentre gli occhi scuri
Tu viaggio attraverso la mia mente
sulle pareti di dolore, angeli di lussuria
Guardia mio dominio mentre gli occhi scuri
Brillare nello specchio, alla ricerca di qualcuno
stranieri, freddo come il vento d'inverno
Fade distanza
Brillare nello specchio, alla ricerca di qualcuno
stranieri, freddo come il vento d'inverno

Libertà solitario, occhi sul dolore
lacrime cadranno come silenziosi pioggia
Hearts andrà in frantumi, i sentimenti svaniscono
in qualche modo sembra sempre lo stesso
Libertà solitario, occhi sul dolore
lacrime cadranno come silenziosi pioggia
Hearts andrà in frantumi, i sentimenti svaniscono
in qualche modo sembra sempre lo stesso
I miei nasconde l'amore come una stella scura ridere
Nascosto nel silenzio, estranei freddo come il vento d'inverno
Fade Away
I miei nasconde l'amore come una stella scura ridere
Nascosto nel silenzio, estranei freddo come il vento d'inverno

Sentimenti profondi come l'oceano, ondate di freddo
Whisper loro avvertimento, pericolo cammina
con un cuore fragile, cammina con un cuore fragile

Man this is probably one of the most underrated albums of all time. Kinda sucks that the guys couldn't agree on anything, because if they had stayed a little longer I thought they could of produced more good music.
