Heartbeats
Electric Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One night to speed up truth
We are the promise made
Four hands that ran away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up 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 a relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
And you
You knew the hand of the devil
And you
You kept us awake with wolves' teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands up above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
The song "Heartbeats" by Electric Valentine is about a one-night stand that turns into a passionate and intense love affair. The first verse describes the beginning of the encounter, with the two parties being under the influence and having a heightened sense of awareness about each other. The second verse describes the aftermath of the encounter, with the two parties feeling in love and promising to stay together. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and desperation to hold onto the beautiful moment they had together.
In the chorus, the singer rejects the idea of leaning on anyone else, even a higher power. Calling for hands up above would not be good enough for them, as they want only each other. The last verse adds a darker twist, describing one of the parties as someone who knows the devil and whose presence keeps everyone else on edge. Despite this, they were able to share different heartbeats in one night, creating a powerful and unforgettable experience.
Overall, the song is an ode to the intense and fleeting nature of a one-night stand that turns into something more.

One night to be confused
We only had one night to be uncertain about our feelings
One night to speed up truth
Our time together accelerated our realization of the truth
We are the promise made
We made a commitment to each other
Four hands that ran away
Together, we left behind our old lives
Both under influence
We were both under some sort of influence that night
We had divine sense
Our heightened sensitivity allowed us to communicate on a spiritual level
To know what to say
We instinctively knew how to express our emotions
Mind is a razor blade
Our minds were razor sharp, allowing us to cut through any confusion
To call for hands up above
We considered reaching out to a higher power for help
To lean on
We needed support during this intense experience
Wouldn't be good enough
However, external sources of support were insufficient
For me, no
We needed something more personal and intimate
One night of magic rush
That night was an unforgettable, magical experience
The start, a simple touch
It all started with a small physical connection
One night to push and scream
We expressed our feelings with abandon
And then a relief
Afterward, we experienced a sense of release and catharsis
Ten days of perfect tunes
Our time together was filled with perfect moments and experiences
The colors red and blue
These bright and vivid colors represent the emotions we shared
We were in love
Clearly, we were in love with each other
And you
You were a key part of this experience
You knew the hand of the devil
You had been through difficult experiences before
And you
You also had a powerful effect on us
You kept us awake with wolves' teeth
You were like a fierce and untamed animal, keeping us alert and energized
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
Though we were different people with different lives, we shared a powerful connection in that moment
To call for hands up above
Once again, we considered reaching out to a higher power
To lean on
But we knew we needed something more intimate and personal
Wouldn't be good enough
External sources of support would not suffice
For me, no
We needed to rely solely on each other

@ToExP3L I'm not sure which is the original, but I really dig The Knife version
DutchMasterStatus
@BrettTKB If you read it, you would have seen that the original version is by The Knife, and I'm not sure what kind of book would say that this is the original version of a song?
BrettTKB
obviously you would not know what type of book it would say that in, and this is for sure the original.
