Where Are You?
Heartsounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing sleep over this.
Have you ever had your heart broken?
What the fuck do you do at night when I'm asleep?
But then I wake up, staring at the ceiling.
It's gotta' be the worst feeling.
But my mind starts working and it feels like a curse.
I know I'm so tired, but I'm burning up
Cause things don't feel right when you don't want me
And it affects every part of my body.
I'm burning up cause my heart is giving it to me,
Pounding as fast as my thoughts are racing
Down a nauseating spiral,
My legs twist in the sheets to follow.
Losing sleep, I'm over this.
Have you ever had your heart broken?
Is there any right time to ask that question?
"Trust" is my most hated word.
It's that unattainable girl.
I'm so tired, but I'm burning up
Cause I want her so bad, and she don't want me.
Try to change every part of me
To get her and then I'll live a perfect life.
And sometimes I get her for a day,
But something comes to steal her away
I tear myself apart wondering where you are.
"Heartsounds's "Where Are You?" is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the overwhelming emotions that come with it. The lyrics speak to the feeling of losing sleep over a broken heart and the exhausting cycle of thought that can accompany it. The song grapples with the depths of pain and the desire to fix what is broken, while recognizing that the answer may not always be within our reach.
The lyrics also touch on themes of desire, trust, and self-doubt. The singer is yearning for someone who doesn't want them back, leading to a feeling of inadequacy and questioning whether there is anything they can do to change themselves and win back their love. The use of the word "trust" also implies a sense of betrayal, an idea that is echoed throughout the lyrics.
