More Heart
Handsome Poets Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've waited, I've waited to long.
My train left right before dawn, dawn, dawn.
With empty hands I walk the street to your house.
I'm setting a fire because I have my doubts.
The battle begins, there's nothing win.

We need to start feeling our heart
We need to start feeling our heart

We've made it right through the wrong.
We've been to places, we didn't belong.
A smell from miles,in your hand a loaded gun.
A bullet sounds, the war has begun.

Aha aha let's leave it for a while
Aha aha to get us closer.
Aha aha I'm waiting for your smile.

We need to start feeling our heart
We need to start feeling our heart
We need to start feeling our heart
We need to start feeling our heart

We need to start feeling our heart
We need to start feeling our heart

I've waited, I've waited to long.
My train left right before dawn, dawn, dawn.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Handsome Poets's song "More Heart" convey a sense of longing and desperation as the singer recounts waiting too long for something and missing his opportunity. The metaphorical "train" has already left and the singer is left with "empty hands" wandering the streets trying to reach the person he is addressing in the song. There is a sense of urgency as the singer is "setting a fire" and preparing for battle because he is unsure if he will be successful in his pursuit.

The chorus, "We need to start feeling our heart," emphasizes the need to connect with one's emotions and desires. The past experiences and mistakes have been acknowledged, and now it is time to focus on the present and embrace one's true feelings. There is a sense of optimism and hope as the chorus is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the importance of allowing oneself to feel and connect with others. The final repetition of "My train left right before dawn, dawn, dawn" echoes the sense of regret and missed opportunities but also serves as a final reminder to embrace one's heart.
