Heart
Darkside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moonlight sets
Feels like seven years
Since I left
Can’t you see behind this love
Tell me you don’t know
If you don’t like what you see

.....................

What do I look like to you
What do you want me to be

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are from the song "Heart" by Darkside (Nicolas Jaar + Dave Harrington). This song is an introspective and emotional piece that delves into the idea of self-discovery and self-disappointment in a romantic relationship. The opening lines "Moonlight sets, feels like seven years since I left" set the nostalgic and melancholic tone for the song. The singer is reflecting on a past relationship and how much time has passed since leaving it.


The following line "Can't you see behind this love" suggests that there is something more profound and complicated behind the surface-level love that is being shown in the relationship. The singer is questioning whether or not their partner understands this deeper layer. The lyrics "Tell me you don’t know if you don’t like what you see, what do I look like to you, what do you want me to be" show the singer's feeling of vulnerability and insecurity in the relationship. They are seeking validation from their partner but also want to know if their partner has an image of them in their mind that they want them to conform to.


Overall, the song "Heart" is a poignant and emotional piece that explores themes of self-discovery, disappointment, insecurity, and love in a relationship.

Moonlight sets
Feels like seven years
Since I left
Can you see behind this love?
Tell me you don’t know
If you don’t like what you see

The dog barks
Bones crunch
There’s a lot of noise in here
What do I look like to you?
What do you want me to be?

(A little) good for….
You, you, you, you
Ooh
(A little) Good for you
A little more evil for me
Come and see, come and see, come and see

What do I look like to you?
What do you want me to be?
Good for you
