Heartbeat
Gazelle Twin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel cold
I feel old
Is there something there behind me?
I'm sublime
I feel empty
I feel dark
I am mesmerised
By my own beat
Like a heartbeat
In it's own beat
Like a heartbeat.
In the opening lines of Gazelle Twin's song "Heartbeat," the singer is expressing an overwhelming sense of detachment and isolation. The use of "icy," "cold," "old," and "empty" all invoke a feeling of emotional distance or disconnection from the world around them. They are questioning whether there is something following them or lurking behind them, perhaps hinting at a feeling of paranoia or anxiety. Despite all of these feelings, the singer maintains a sense of grandeur as they describe themselves as "sublime." This juxtaposition of negative emotions with a sense of self-importance hints at a struggle with self-esteem or self-worth.
As the song continues, the singer shifts their focus to their own internal state. They describe feeling dark and empty, but also mesmerized by their own "beat" - which is repeated several times and seems to refer to their own heartbeat. The final lines of the verse compare this internal rhythm to a heartbeat that exists in its own world - a personal and private experience that is both beautiful and isolating.

If you've ever escaped from a threatening or tense situation by making the right call or simply being quick on your feet, then you feel this mix of cold fear and intoxicating exhiliration.
You feel like your powerful, yet you also feel fragile and vulnerable. It's a unique sensation. When you interpret it like that, lines like these make a lot more sense:
I feel Icy
I feel Cold
Is there something there behind me?
and my personal favorites:
I am mesmerised
By my own beat

It's very beautiful, both the video and music. I've been a bit stressed and high-strung, but just listening to the song was very soothing :)

Whenever I listen to this I imagine a woman with her arms spread like wings as she slowly spins around, singing this to herself as she marvels at herself, intoxicated with her own beauty and/or power.
