Haerts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me frozen, I've traveled through a storm
And in a way I wasn't free
Never knew, but now it's all that's left of me
Give it all or never
You show the way that you feel
And if it matters to you
It's all that matters
You show, you better believe
And if it matters to you
You know it matters to me
You won't grow, if you don't feel
When it's cold you know there's nothing in between
And I'll be there, I won't pretend
I'd give it all for you, I'd give it all again
Give it all or never
You show the way that you feel
And if it matters to you
It must matter to me
It's all that matters
You show, you better believe
And if it matters to you
You know it matters to me
I'm guilty of silence, I'm guilty of hiding my soul
I can't fight the regret, I remember oh how I was wrong
In the dark of the night
I look up in the sky
And you're gone
Now I'm down on my knees
Begging you
Let me fall
Give it all or never
You show the way that you feel
And if it matters to you
It must matter to me
It's all that matters
You show you better believe
And if it matters to you
You know it matters to me
It's all that matters
You show the way that you feel
And if it matters to you
It must matter to me
It's all that matters
You show you better believe
And if it matters to you
You know it matters to me
In the song "Matter" by HAERTS, the lyrics discuss the importance of open communication and expressing one's feelings in any type of relationship. The opening line "Call me all, but not alone" suggests that the singer desires the company of their loved one, but they do not want to feel alone, even when they are physically in the same space. The line "Call me frozen, I've traveled through a storm" could be interpreted to mean that the singer has faced challenges and has been emotionally distant in the past, however, they have overcome these struggles and are now willing to be vulnerable. The lyrics "And if it matters to you, it must matter to me" reinforce the idea that a true connection exists when both parties prioritize each other's feelings equally.
The second verse discusses the importance of feeling and vulnerability, stating "You won't grow, if you don't feel." The lyrics "I'd give it all for you, I'd give it all again" convey a sense of selflessness and devotion towards the person, indicating a willingness to go above and beyond for them. The bridge expresses regret for past mistakes and the desire to reconcile, "I'm guilty of silence, I'm guilty of hiding my soul." The line "Let me fall" could suggest that the singer is willing to take a risk and let their guard down, hoping that their significant other catches them and reciprocates their love and care.
Overall, the song communicates the importance of mutual communication and understanding in any type of relationship, whether it be romantic or otherwise.
