I had an insight into music early because my older cousin was in bands and used to let me sit in his studio while he wrote and recorded songs. He used to give me Bowie and Beatles records to listen to. Then I heard wives' tales about Paul McCartney not really being Paul McCartney and how the clues to his death were in the artwork of their albums and that had me pretty spooked when listening to the Beatles for quite some time. I got really into early Bowie (like The London Boys era), then came T.Rex, Queen, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and of course Michael Jackson. I tried writing songs when my cousin gave me my first keyboard, a little casio. I wrote a song called "The Stomach Ground" about a village of people living on someone's stomach. I basically wrote more and more songs, and figured out how to multi-track using a double cassette deck. Music was where I was heading. I left school to get a job in a recording studio, I made tea and set-up microphones. Then I set-up The Canvas Room, my own little studio and record label. I made an e.p called the So So...e.p and started playing shows around London. Someone who heard the So So...e.p happened to run a big studio in New Jersey USA and I was invited out there to record another e.p and I wrote an e.p called The Diary Of Rodney Harvey, inspired by an article I had read about the tragic rise and fall of this promising star. I ended up living in Manhattan for a few months, playing music, writing songs and working in studios. I moved back to New Jersey and somehow got a room in the house that Frank Sinatra grew up in. I bought a little Casio keyboard, just like the one my cousin had given me when I was five and I started writing songs for my first album.

I Want My Heart Broken Again
Gary Go Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's a guard, take my faith cause I'm loosing it,
I fall in love, I feel alive when I'm loosing it,
The shock I get, electric hair as I'm loosing it,
My cold, black hear sparks to life with new blood in it,
So I run as fast as I can run to the edge of town,
Try to shake it out and sweat it of, before I turn around,
I remember
there's no free ride for anyone,

when You're hungry, you know that you're living.
And remember
the same sun shines on everyone.
For the feeling
I want my heart broken again.
I want my heart broken again.
Kiss my face and tell me straight that you want out of here,
that you won't look back, won't look back until you're free and clear.
When you're too fucked up to remember anything,
miles away from the lies, from the lies
What did I do know?
I've forgotten how to feel,
I do anything to feel something, anything.
What can I do know?
I've forgotten how to feel,
I do anything to feel something, anything.
I remember
there's no free ride for anyone,
when you're hungry, you know that you're living.
And remember
the same sun shines on everyone.
For the feeling
I want my heart broken again.
I want my heart broken again.
I want my heart broken again.
I want my heart broken again.

I want my heart broken again.
I want my heart broken again.

Overall Meaning

Gary Go’s song “I Want My Heart Broken Again” is a poignant anthem about the paradoxical nature of being human; that is, we crave love and affection, but at the same time, we are unable to escape the pain that comes along with it. The song starts with the singer losing his faith, but simultaneously feeling alive as he falls in love, even though the electric hair shock he gets is painful. He runs away to try and shake it off, but he knows deep down that there is no escape. The lyrics express a sense of longing for the feeling of being vulnerable and in love; a feeling so intense that it will break his heart.

Gary Go wants to be kissed on his face and told straight out that the person he loves wants out of the relationship. Even though it might be devastating news, it would at least make him feel something. He has forgotten how to feel, and he will do anything just to feel something, even if it is the pain of heartbreak. He goes on to say that there is no free ride in life, and hunger is a reminder that you are alive. The same sun that shines on everyone still does not make people immune to pain, and it is this pain that he is seeking out.

In summary, the song is about the pursuit of emotional intensity, even if it means experiencing heartbreak in the process. The singer wants to live life fully, not just coast through it. He wants to feel alive, even if that means experiencing the pain of heartbreak.
