Harlem Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had my heart broken
It was broken in two
And if I had my heart broken
I bet it was broken by you.

I wrote you a letter
But I didn't have a stamp
Threw it in the garbage can

Address the tram.

And I lost my heart
I lost my heart

I had my heart broken
It was broken in two
And if I had my heart broken
I bet it was broken by you.

I went to your wedding
When I fumed off there
Said "Is something wrong?"
Now I'm in jail.

And I lost my heart
I lost my heart

I love all the people
Most of all I love you
I love all the people
Most of all I love you

I love all the people
Most of all I love you
I love all the people
Most of all I love you

But I don't know how you can be so dumb

I had my heart broken
It was broken in two
I had my heart broken
It was broken in two

And I'm glad

I'm glad
About you

Overall Meaning

The song "Cloud Pleaser" by Harlem is a story of heartbreak and unrequited love. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and sadness, as the singer describes having their "heart broken in two" and suggests that it was broken by the person they loved. The theme of love and loss is underscored by the repetition of the phrase "I had my heart broken" throughout the song.

The singer also describes writing a letter to their love interest, but not being able to send it because they didn't have a stamp. Instead, they threw it away and addressed it to the tram. The futility of this gesture underscores the singer's feelings of powerlessness in the face of their unrequited love.

Later in the song, the singer goes to their love interest's wedding and is confronted with the reality of their situation. When someone asks if they are okay, they end up in jail. This moment of emotional instability underscores the intensity of the singer's feelings and the pain they are experiencing.

Despite the pain and heartbreak they are experiencing, the singer expresses their love for all people, but most of all for their love interest. However, they struggle to understand why their love interest doesn't reciprocate their feelings, asking "But I don't know how you can be so dumb." In the end, the song concludes with the singer expressing a sense of relief and contentment, as they declare that they are "glad" about their love interest, even though their heart has been broken.

I had my heart broken
My heart was shattered into pieces

It was broken in two
The impact of the heartbreak was profound and deeply affecting

And if I had my heart broken
Assuming that my heart was, in fact, broken

I bet it was broken by you.
You are the most likely source of the heartbreak

I wrote you a letter
I attempted to communicate my feelings to you

But I didn't have a stamp
I lacked a small but necessary item to complete my task

Threw it in the garbage can
I discarded the letter as if it was useless and unwanted

Address the tram.
Comically, I addressed the letter to a city transportation vehicle

And I lost my heart
The heartbreak caused me to lose a part of myself

I went to your wedding
I attended your matrimonial ceremony

When I fumed off there
I left the wedding in a fit of anger
