Heartbeats
Daniel Andrade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, oh
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me
And you
You knew the hand of the devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolves' teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me
To call for hands of above, to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me
"Heartbeats" by Daniel Andrade is a song about a love affair that only lasted for one night but left an everlasting impression on the singer. The song starts with the lyrics "One night to be confused, one night to speed up truth" which suggests that the singer and their lover were both in a state of confusion and sought escape from it. The next line, "we had a promise made, four hands and then away," implies that they both knew the relationship was fleeting but decided to pursue it anyway.
Despite being under the influence and blinded by lust, the singer and their lover shared an unexplainable connection - a "divine sense" - that allowed them to communicate without words. However, this connection was also dangerous ("mind is a razor blade") and they were unable to rely on anyone but themselves. The repeated line "to call for hands of above, to lean on, wouldn't be good enough for me" emphasizes the idea that the singer does not believe in relying on a higher power or external force to help them through difficult times.
The chorus describes the intense passion and physical connection that the singer and their lover shared, leading up to a moment of "relief". The second verse mentions "ten days of perfect tunes" and "the colors red and blue", possibly referring to the aftermath of their night together. But ultimately, it all ends with only memories and a broken promise of love.
Overall, "Heartbeats" is a bittersweet tale of a love affair that was too intense and too brief, leaving the singer with only a yearning to relive that one night.
