If I Had a Heart
Fever Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
More, give me more
Give me more
This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more
If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
If I had a voice, I would sing
Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more
Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
If I had a voice, I would sing
The song 'If I Had a Heart' by Fever Ray is a haunting and enigmatic piece of music that captures the listener with its hypnotic beat and intense lyrics. The song starts with the singer expressing her desire for more, and how she wants to experience everything in life to its fullest. The repetition of the words 'give me more' emphasizes the longing of the singer and the intensity of her emotions. She then imagines an alternate scenario where she has a heart and a voice that she could use to express her love and sing her heart out. The lines 'if I had a heart, I could love you, if I had a voice, I would sing' suggest that the singer wants to experience life to its fullest and is willing to go to any length to do so.
The second verse of the song is cryptic and mysterious. The singer talks about dangling feet from the window frame, wondering if she will ever reach the floor. This could be a metaphor for her yearning to touch the ground and experience life in a tangible way. She then talks about being crushed and filled with all that she has found, suggesting that she has explored all aspects of life and has come to a realization. The lines 'just to come around, more, give me more' could mean that the singer still wants to experience more despite having discovered something profound.
Overall, 'If I Had a Heart' is a powerful song that speaks to the human desire for love, passion, and fulfillment. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and the haunting melody adds to the overall effect of the song. This song tells a story of a person who is searching for something deeper and an escape from reality.

Это не закончится, ведь я
Большего, большего жду
Это не закончится, ведь я
Большего, большего жду
Было б сердце, мог бы я любить
Был бы голос, мог бы я петь
Что ждёт меня, я узнаю,
Когда мрак начнёт редеть
Был бы голос, мог бы я петь
Радость - ножками болтать,
Смогут ли они на землю встать?
Большего, большего жду
Что я смог в душе найти,
Тем я наполняюсь, чтоб в себя прийти
Большего, большего жду
Был бы голос, мог бы я петь
