My Wicked Heart
Diana Vickers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your secret's safe with me
Hush, hush, keep it
Under lock and key
I'll lead, you follow
'Cause I'll shiver
Stand, deliver
You were made for this
I know I should go
Oh my wicked heart
Beats out of time for you
God knows I see stars
It's bad to feel this good
Whoops, 'cause I've got that feeling
Whoop-a, here I go again
Whoops, no it ain't for keeping
Whoop-a, here I go again
Big gun, small drum
The beating of my chest
Slow touch, fast tongue
I see magenta red
I just can't be told
Oh my wicked heart
Beats out of time for you
God knows I see stars
It's bad to feel this good
Whoops, 'cause I've got that feeling
Whoop-a, here I go again
Whoops, no it ain't for keeping
Whoop-a, here I go again
La, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
Look at you with me, honey bee
Whoopsy daisy
Look at you with me, honey bee
Whoopsy daisy
Oh my wicked heart
Beats out of time for you
God knows I see stars
It's bad to feel this good
Whoops, 'cause I've got that feeling
Whoop-a, here I go again
Whoops, no it ain't for keeping
Whoop-a, here I go again
Oh my wicked heart
Beats out of time for you
God knows I see stars
It's bad to feel this good
Whoops, 'cause I've got that feeling
Whoop-a, here I go again
Whoops, no it ain't for keeping
Whoop-a, here I go again
The lyrics of Diana Vickers's song "My Wicked Heart" tell a story of a forbidden love affair that the singer knows is wrong but can't help succumbing to. The repeated refrain of "Hush, hush, secret / Your secret's safe with me / Hush, hush, keep it / Under lock and key" sets a secretive and illicit tone that continues throughout the song. The singer acknowledges that this love affair is not something that can last, but they can't help being drawn to their partner's touch and feeling as though they were "made for this." The chorus explores the singer's conflicting emotions of feeling both euphoric and guilty at the same time. They know this love is "bad to feel this good," but they can't resist the pull of their "wicked heart." The use of onomatopoeic words like "whoops" and "whoop-a" in the chorus convey a sense of playful recklessness and the idea that the singer knows they're making a mistake but can't help themselves.
Overall, "My Wicked Heart" is a song about giving in to temptation and pursuing a love affair that the singer knows should be kept secret. They may feel guilty or conflicted, but they can't resist the lure of their "wicked heart," and the song captures that sense of thrill and danger.
