Black Heart
DIAMANTE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The whole world's a memory
What could've been of you and me
Before we burned out
Before we crashed down
You used to be here
And I try to not care
Bury the truth
It's all I can do

Before I'm too lost to be found
I'm lighting up my black heart
I'd rather let it fall apart
Than go on pretending
The knife isn't twisting
There's only one way through the dark
I'm lighting up my black heart
Slept in your sweatshirt
Woke up, remembered
Last time we talked
I said not to call
Eyes closed, our song
Repeat, my headphones
I know where it goes
And that hurts the most
Before I'm too lost to be found
I'm lighting up my black heart
I'd rather let it fall apart
Than go on pretending
The knife isn't twisting
There's only one way through the dark
I'm lighting up my black heart
Woah, black heart
Woah, there's only one way
Only one way through the dark
The whole world's a memory
What could've been of you and me
Before we burned out
Before we crashed down
The whole world's a memory
What could've been of you and me
Before we burned out
Before we crashed down
The whole world's a memory
I'm lighting up my black heart
I'd rather let it fall apart
Than go on pretending
The knife isn't twisting
There's only one way through the dark
I'm lighting up my black heart
I'd rather let it fall apart
Than go on pretending
That nothing is missing
There's only one way through the dark

The feeling is rushing back hard
It hurts but I know it's a start

Line by Line Meaning

The whole world's a memory
Reflecting on the past, realizing that everything has become nothing but memories

What could've been of you and me
Thinking about the potential possibilities of what could have been between them

Before we burned out
Before their relationship reached a point of exhaustion

Before we crashed down
Before their relationship reached a point of no return

You used to be here
Acknowledging the absence of their partner

And I try to not care
Struggling to not feel the emotions that come with missing someone

Bury the truth
Choosing to hide the reality of their feelings

It's all I can do
Recognizing that keeping the truth buried is the best they can do for the time being

Before I'm too lost to be found
Feeling as though they are losing themselves in their emotions and need to take action before it's too late

I'm lighting up my black heart
Turning to the darkness within themselves as a source of strength

I'd rather let it fall apart
Preferring to let their heart break apart than continue pretending to be okay

Than go on pretending
Refusing to live a lie anymore

The knife isn't twisting
Acknowledging the painful reality of their situation

There's only one way through the dark
Realizing that the only way to move forward is to embrace the pain and face it head-on

Slept in your sweatshirt
Still holding onto anything that reminds them of their former partner

Woke up, remembered
Awakening to the reality of their current situation

Last time we talked
Recalling the last conversation they had with their partner

I said not to call
Setting boundaries with their partner

Eyes closed, our song
Allowing themselves to revisit the memory of their partner through a shared song

Repeat, my headphones
Finding comfort in the repetition of the song on their headphones

I know where it goes
Being familiar with the song and the emotions it brings up

And that hurts the most
Realizing that even happy memories now bring pain

I'd rather let it fall apart
Preferring to let their heart break apart than continue pretending to be okay

That nothing is missing
Admitting that something vital is missing in their life

The feeling is rushing back hard
Experiencing a surge of emotions that are difficult to handle

It hurts but I know it's a start
Acknowledging that the pain is necessary for healing and moving forward
