De̊ǰa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But his view is always ringing there inside my head
I can't believe that every time I see behind my heart
I should've known you looking deep into my breast
HEART
HEART
And I can't believe what goes on
We fight and we fuss and I see blood
The pain and the edges stay in mud
It's obvious, it's obvious it's my heart
And I can't believe what goes on
We fight and we fuss and I see blood
The pain and the edges stay in mud
HEART
HEART
HEART
HEART
Take a risk and have my heart
Take a risk and fight someone
Take a risk, believe me, baby
It's worth dying for
Take a risk and have my heart
Take a risk and fight someone
Take a risk, believe me, baby
It's worth dying for
Take a risk and have my heart
Take a risk and fight someone
Take a risk, believe me, baby
It's worth dying for
Take a risk and have my heart
Take a risk and fight someone
Take a risk, believe me, baby
It's worth dying for
I can't believe that I pretend it didn't matter, come on
But his view is always ringing there inside my head
I can't believe that every time I see behind my heart
I should've known you looking deep into my breast
HEART

Take a risk and have my heart
Take a risk and fight someone
Take a risk, believe me, baby
It's worth dying for
Take a risk and have my heart
Take a risk and fight someone
Take a risk, believe me, baby
It's worth dying for
In De̊ǰa's song "Heart", the lyrics explore the theme of love and the pain that comes with it. The singer is struggling to let go of a past love that stays in their mind and heart even though they pretend it doesn't matter. The line "I can't believe that every time I see behind my heart, I should've known you looking deep into my breast" shows that the singer can't ignore the fact that they still have feelings for this person, and that they have been in love with them for a long time. The chorus "It's obvious, it's obvious, it's my heart" emphasizes the importance of the singer's heart in this situation and how it is responsible for their pain and turmoil.
The second verse continues to explore the theme of pain and conflict, with the lines "We fight and we fuss and I see blood, the pain and the edges stay in mud." This suggests that the singer and their past love have had a tumultuous relationship, with the pain and conflict leaving indelible marks on their heart. The repeated lines of "Take a risk and have my heart, take a risk and fight someone, take a risk, believe me, baby, it's worth dying for" show the singer's conflicting emotions, both urging their past love to take a risk on their love again and realizing that it may be a risk to their heart and well-being.
