The Heart That I'm Hearing
Galantis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna let my heart decide if this is real
A thousand pictures can't describe how I feel
It's like the world doesn't exist, but I can still see it
And when I focus on your eyes, it's your heart that I'm hearing

It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing

When I say I'm shatterproof, I know that I mean it
But you broke me to the truth, I couldn't believe it
All the forces of the fates are stealing my reasons
I let you in, let you embrace all of my demons

It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing

I'm gonna let my heart decide if this is real
A thousand pictures can't describe how I feel
But when I try to run away, your love's interfering
And when I focus on your eyes, it's your heart that I'm hearing

It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing




It's your heart that I'm hearing
It's your heart that I'm hearing

If you listen to this with headphones or a good system, you can hear an actual heartbeat. So awesome.

Just install 2 15's in your car and you're able to feel every little bit of bass, even the ones you can't hear (subsonic bass) pretty cool

Oh Galantis, I hope you return to your roots and your original sound. Nothing compares to EP or Pharmacy. The new songs are okay but will never capture my heart like these two albums did. 

Sincerely,

A old school Seafox fan

Breezy Bruz

I second this
