The World Is Yours
F.A.T (Fucking African Truth) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I worry and wonder.
Your lips may be near,
but where is your heart?
It's always like this,
I worry and wonder.
You're close to me here,
It's a sad thing to realize
that you've a heart that never melts.
When we kiss, do you close your eyes,
pretending that I'm someone else?
You must break the spell,
this cloud that I'm under.
So please won't you tell, darling,
where is your heart?
These lyrics talk about a sense of detachment and distance felt by the singer when they are in a romantic moment with someone they care about. The repetition of the line "where is your heart?" highlights the central theme of the song that the singer cannot fully connect with their partner despite physical closeness. The contemplation of their partner's heart being elsewhere, even when they are present, indicates the feeling of emotional unavailability in their relationship.
The use of the word "pretending" in the line "when we kiss, do you close your eyes, pretending that I'm someone else?" implies that the singer suspects their partner is not fully present during intimate moments because their heart is elsewhere. The chorus serves as a plea for the partner to open up and communicate with the singer about their true emotions, as the singer feels trapped in a cloud of uncertainty and detachment.
