The Funeral Of Hearts
H.I.M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

love's the funeral of hearts
an ode for cruelty
when angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame

The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question, why?

Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom

The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy




When love is a gun
Separating me from you

Overall Meaning

"The Funeral of Hearts" by H.I.M is a song that speaks to the pain of lost love, with lyrics that paint a picture of a couple who were once deeply in love, but whose relationship is now slowly dying. In the first verse, the lyrics describe love as a funeral and an ode for cruelty, with angels crying blood on flowers of evil. This could be interpreted as love often ending in a painful way or taking on abusive tones.


The chorus repeats this theme, with a plea for mercy and a metaphor of love as a gun that separates two people. The following verses describe the couple in more detail, with the woman as the sun shining on the tomb of the man's hopes and dreams, and the man as the moon painting on her with a glow that makes her vulnerable and pale. The description of the woman as the wind carrying in all the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget, and the man as the fire restless and wild, creates a sense of an opposition in their relationship that ultimately leads to its downfall.


The final verse includes a reference to "the heretic seal beyond divine," which could refer to the couple's inability to connect on a deeper level, and a prayer to a god who's deaf and blind. The lyrics end with three little words and a question: why? This line is powerful and succinct and leaves the listener to ponder the reasons why love can end in such a painful way.

Иногда мне страшно вспоминать свои дни и ночи с этой музыкой. Мне страшно думать об этой музыке. Мне страшно слушать ее вновь. Потому что огромный кусок жизни связанный с ней навечно.
Тогда слушать эти песни приходилось на Двд, тогда многое
было на сд-дисках, и эти диски грели души многих людей.
Мою тоже.
Сейчас у меня где-то еще лежит Хим..
Лежит его концерт..
Боже мой... Этот мир подарил мне тебя.
И хоть всему приходит конец, конец никогда не прийдет воспоминаниям о первой музыкальной любви.
О моей жизни. О части меня.
Когда-то это была не просто музыка для меня, а целый другой мир, космос, религия, магия, любовь и все на свете.
Не могу словами передать те чувства, которые возникали.
Мне не был понятен перевод, но сама музыка и то, как он пел переполняло все словесные смыслы.
На сегодня эта группа закончила свой творческий путь.
