My Heartstrings Come Undone
Demon Hunter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope it doesn't last
(It's something I already chase, I already chase)
I try to give it all away, but it's never going to fade
(It's something I don't want to face, I don't want to face)
I know you feel it's all the same
But I promise that I'll change
(It's something I already chase, I already chase)
That you're never going to leave
(It's something I don't want to face, I don't want to face)
There's nothing left
The fear is gone
[Chorus]
And when my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before I make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you
I know I'm not the perfect one
And this pain has just begun
(It's something I already chase, I already chase)
You bring me to a better path
And it's everything I lack
(It's something I don't want to face, I don't want to face)
[Chorus]
If you fade out without me
Will you know all about me?
If you fade out without me
Will you know all?
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Demon Hunter's song, My Heartstrings Come Undone, depict a struggle to let go of the past and move on from the pain of previous experiences. The singer acknowledges that they have been chasing something that they don't want to face, something buried deep within their past that they hope won't last. They try to give it all away, but it never fades. The singer pleads with their partner to believe that they can change and promises to try their best to keep them from leaving. However, they admit that they are not perfect and that the pain has just begun. The fear is gone but the struggle remains.
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope for a brighter future. The singer declares that they will wait and pray for their partner, and stay with them through the decay. They know that their heartstrings may come undone, but they believe that by staying together, they can make it through anything. The verse that follows reminds the partner that they hold a special place in the singer's life and that they bring them to a better path, something the singer desperately lacks.
Overall, the song is a powerful message about the struggles of moving on from the past and the importance of holding onto someone who is willing to stay through it all.

It's buried deep within the past and I
There's something in my past that I'm struggling to let go of
Hope it doesn't last
I'm afraid that this struggle will continue indefinitely
I try to give it all away, but it's never going to fade
I've tried to make this struggle go away, but it keeps coming back
I know you feel it's all the same
I know it seems like I'm not making any progress
But I promise that I'll change
But I'm determined to keep trying to overcome this
You know I'm trying to believe
I'm doing my best to stay optimistic
That you're never going to leave
That you'll stay by my side no matter what
There's nothing left
I feel like I've exhausted all my options
The fear is gone
But I'm finally starting to feel some relief from the fear I've been carrying
And when my heartstrings come undone
When I feel like I can't hold myself together anymore
I will wait for you, pray for you
I'll turn to you for support and pray for your help
Before I make my final run
Before I completely give up
I will stay with you, decay with you
I'll stay with you no matter what happens, even if things get worse
I know I'm not the perfect one
I'm aware of my own flaws
And this pain has just begun
And I know that this struggle is just beginning
You bring me to a better path
You're helping me find a way forward that I never would have discovered on my own
And it's everything I lack
And it's giving me everything I need to keep going
If you fade out without me
If I lose you
Will you know all about me?
Will you know everything that I've been through and the struggles that I've faced?
If you fade out without me
If I lose you
Will you know all?
Will you know everything that you meant to me and the impact you had on my life?

My favourite lyric in this song is when Ryan sings "I will stay with you, decay with you". I like that because it feels like a commitment a man may make to his wife, even more than just a vow, its a proclamation. In a society when marriages can be thrown away after hours or just months it's refreshing to hear about a marriage lasting until death. Not giving up so easily

I was thinking the same thing. #meaning Like a devotion/submission song to someone
@the_broke_spartan
very very true but when someone doesn't go all-in it pisses me off
@whatsoever5489
@@ieyeshiabates3556 I always felt it that it also could be God's devotion to us... on the cross undoubtedly he did 'decay with us'.

My marriage is on the rocks after years of struggle. Every single word in this song is bang on with regards to how I feel about my wife. She wants to leave but I am trying to turn the situation around by becoming better version of myself, hopefully she sees that and has a change of heart.
