Sister
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life's not all shopping bags
Glitter tutus, high heel dance
We know, and we're gonna show them
Pretty sister, sharing a room
Hanging out naked, talking til two AM
We'll prove them wrong
The way you wear your hair so nice
Makes all the goons think twice
You and I know rumors aren't true
Loving me like I love you
You go your way, I'll go home
It's sad you have to travel all alone
Drive on that virgin road
In a year, I'll see you again
Full-on woman, crown crooked on your head
The loneliness is done
The way you wear your hair so nice
Makes all the goons think twice
You and I know rumors aren't true




Loving me like I love you
Oooh, oooh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Heart's song "Sister" depict a deep bond and strong connection between two sisters who defy societal expectations and stereotypes. The first verse implies that life is not just about material possessions and superficiality but about proving others wrong. The sisters are portrayed as unapologetically genuine and comfortable with each other, as they hang out naked and engage in heartfelt conversations until the early hours of the morning.


The lyrics suggest that the way one of the sisters wears her hair nice acts as a deterrent to those who might judge or underestimate them. It implies that their appearance challenges preconceived notions and forces others to reconsider their assumptions. The sisters know the rumors circulating about them are false and refuse to let them affect their relationship. There is a mutual love and understanding between them, which is reciprocated equally.


The second verse highlights the physical separation between the sisters. One sister is on a solitary journey, referred to as a "virgin road," possibly symbolizing a path towards self-discovery or independence. However, the lyrics indicate that their reunion is anticipated after a year. The sister who embarks on this journey is described as becoming a "full-on woman" with a crooked crown on her head, which implies that she will emerge stronger and more self-assured from her experiences.


Ultimately, the lyrics celebrate the end of loneliness, emphasizing that the sisters' connection is enduring and unbreakable. The repetition of the idea that appearance can intimidate and silence those who may have negative opinions about them reinforces the message of self-confidence and emotional strength. Despite physical separation, the bond between the sisters remains intact, and they will continue to love and support each other unconditionally.

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

@THEREALJDOT

It's much appreciated after listening to so much trash. God blessed these sisters on levels that they probably now can't believe.
