Heart Full of Art
Filiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you're longing for to have her in your world
You've dreamt of her so long, you thought you saw her here
You must be sleeping too long, she ran my away my dear
Don't you try to lead her on back
Cause that you will regret
You might think I'm out of line
I got something you can't reach
It's a fact I got a heart full
I can't hear a word you're saying
You might think I'm out of line
I got something you can't reach
It's a fact I got a heart full of art
For years you've tried to please her strong and restless heart
On your skinny knees you begged her to share your part
I am a package deal, that you cannot afford
I talk with my mouth full and drink more than I should
I can't hear a word you're saying
You might think I'm out of line
I got something you can't reach
It's a fact I got a heart full of art
Don't you try to lead her on back
Cause that you will regret
Don't force her on the right track, oh
Cause that you will regret
(A word that you say)
You might think I'm out of line
I got something you can't reach
It's a fact I got a heart full
I can't hear a word you're saying (a word that you say)
You might think I'm out of line
I got something you can't reach
It's a fact I got a heart full of art
The song Heart Full of Art by Filiz is about a girl who is being pursued by a guy who desires a specific type of girl that he has a picture of in his mind. However, the girl singing the song is not the type of girl that he is pursuing. She describes herself as a "package deal" that he cannot afford, and warns him not to lead her on or try to force her onto the "right track." She asserts that she has something he cannot reach - a heart full of art.
The song speaks to the idea that people cannot be put into boxes or categories based on preconceived notions or preferences. Just because someone may fit a certain "type" doesn't mean that they are the right fit for everyone. The singer is confident in who she is and what she has to offer, despite not fitting the mold of what this particular guy is looking for.
Overall, Heart Full of Art is a song about individuality and self-worth, and reminds us that we should never try to change who we are to fit someone else's expectations or desires.
