A Song for Hearts
Endicott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you, you always leave me here, when its time to go I won't be the one you take, just the last tiny shadow choking on the setting sun.waiting forever for someone like you to call my name and take me home and take me home again-just to be what I need all broken wings and dead ends streets
You fill my dreams with everything I hate. but you give the sweetest kiss goodbye-
I want you to know if I could turn a mile into an inch id turn these words into a breath
And your lips wouldn't understand what I mean all broken wings and dead end streets
You fill my dreams with everything I hate, a song for hearts in the gutter
Holding on tight to each others hands, breaking apart on the cold floor now.
Putting ourselves together for the last time this ones for you this ones for me and you

The singer dreams of things they hate but is unable to shake the bittersweet feeling of a goodbye kiss. They wish they could express their feelings better and communicate the depth of their emotions. They feel like they are stuck in a constant cycle of brokenness and dead ends, unable to move forward.


The second verse of the song speaks to the internal conflict of wanting someone who is not good for you. The singer says that this person fills their dreams with everything they hate, but they cannot resist their sweet goodbye. There is a feeling of obsession and addiction, even though the subject of the obsession is harmful to the singer. The chorus again repeats the themes of brokenness and despair, but this time there is an added feeling of unity. The singer and their partner are holding on tightly to each other, even though they are breaking apart on the cold floor. The phrase "this one's for you, this one's for me and you" implies that they are in it together, even though it may not be healthy or sustainable.


Overall, the lyrics to "Song for Hearts in the Gutter" are a powerful reflection of the pain and confusion that can come from unhealthy relationships.
