Heart Attack
False Puppet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it starts Summer
Late in the night
He gets home
And she's not in bed
How many secrets can you keep?
How many spirits have you had?
And now he's turning on the TV
While she's taking off her dress
In the back
And though the accusations fly
You know
She's gonna take him back
Cos she always takes him back
And with the touch of his lips, now
And with the curve of her hips, now
No, they're just falling
Fall out
And it's hard to understand
Now any minute she can walk through the door
Oh, maybe it's just something you said
And she's ready to change her mind
So stop telling him it's alright
And now he's turning on the TV
No, while she's taking off her dress
In the back
Oh and he doesn't even try
You know
She's gonna take him back
It's just a fucking Heart Attack!
And with the touch of his lips, now
And with the curve of her hips, now
No, they're just falling
Fall out
And it's hard to understand
The touch of his lips, now
And with the curve of her ribs, now
No, they just falling
Fall out
But she'll never make a sound
As she's lying softly on the ground
But she always takes him back
Oh!
And with the touch of his lips, now
And with the curve of her hips, now
Falling
Fall out
No
She said to me
It's where I wanna be
No, they're just falling
Fall out
And it's hard to understand




Yes, it's hard to understand
How she always takes him back

The chorus mentions the “touch of his lips” and the “curve of her hips” as they fall out. This is a reference to their physical attraction to each other, and the fact that their passion leads them to fall out or break up repeatedly.

The song ends with her saying “it’s where I wanna be” indicating that she is content with the toxicity in their relationship and will always forgive him despite his wrongdoing.
