Hardest Of Hearts
Florence and The Machine

letratradução
There's love in your body
But you can't hold it in
It pours from your eyes
And spills from your skin
Tenderest touch
Leaves the darkest of the marks
And the kindest of kisses
Breakes the hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
There's love in your body
But you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head
Won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue
And shows on your face
That the sweetest of words
Have the bitterest taste
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
There's love in our bodies
And it holds us together
But pulls us apart
When we're holding each other
We all want something
To hold in the night
We don't care if it hurts
Or we're holding too tight
There's love in your body
But you can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head
Won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue
And shows on your face
That sweetest of words
Have the bitterest taste
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved you from the start
But that's no excuse for the state I'm in
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
My heart swells like water at waves
Can't stop myself before it's too late
Hold on to your heart 'cause I'm coming to take it
Hold on to your heart 'cause I'm coming to break it
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on)




The hardest of hearts (hold on, hold on)
The hardest of hearts (hold on)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Hardest of Hearts" by Florence and The Machine are a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the difficulty of expressing one's feelings. The song opens with the observation that there is love within the body, but it cannot be contained or controlled, spilling out through the eyes and skin. The tenderness of love leaves its mark and the gentlest touch can penetrate the hardest of hearts.


The chorus repeats the phrase "the hardest of hearts," emphasizing the idea that love is a powerful force that can break down even the most guarded and resistant individuals. However, the second verse presents love in a different light, highlighting the ways in which it can become trapped within oneself, unable to be expressed or communicated effectively. The lyrics suggest that love can be both intensely beautiful and painfully bitter, as sweet words may leave a sour taste when left unspoken.


In the final verse, the focus shifts to the challenges of relationships, as love may hold couples together while simultaneously pushing them apart. The desire for human connection and the need to hold something in the night often overcome our better judgment, leading us to hold on tight even when it hurts. The song ends with a repeated refrain of "hold on," suggesting that love is worth fighting for, even in the face of adversity and heartbreak.

Their next music video should be them showing up at a country music festival and most of the shots can just be the reaction of the crowd.
