Heartsrevolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two fucks and a game of charades
This game is almost through
Checkmate with one simple move
Razor sharp
Candy covered glass
Don't try to sort my checkered past
In between my faint screams
Here they come
Here they come
Come on
Come on
Placed an ad in today's paper
For codependents who seek intervention
Spits words of fire since 11/10
And if you'll love me
Then do it forever and ever or don't
Sit back and enjoy the ride
It's the survival of the fittest in a neon paradise
Falling stars
Full of dreams
Shot with blinding lights from your laser beams
Fast forward and rewind it back
We are right on course but we're so off track
I've come such a long way
And I lost my map
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come
HEARTSREVOLUTION's song Switchblade seems to be about an individual who has had a tumultuous past, and is now trying to move on to a brighter future. The first stanza suggests that they have been playing some sort of game or charade which is now coming to a close. They have made one final move which has resulted in a victory, but this move was razor sharp and could have had adverse effects. They also mention their checkered past, indicating that they have some things in their history that they may not be proud of.
The next stanza mentions technicolor light dreams and faint screams, which could suggest that the individual is having vivid and colorful dreams that are filled with fear or anxiety. They then implore someone to come to them, saying "here they come" repeatedly, which could suggest that they are waiting for help or support from someone. The third stanza is interesting, as it suggests that the individual has placed an ad in the paper seeking help for codependency. This could indicate that they have recognized their flaws and are trying to overcome them.
The final stanza mentions the survival of the fittest in a neon paradise, suggesting that the individual is in a new, perhaps bright and flashy world, but still struggling. They mention falling stars full of dreams, which could indicate that they have had lofty aspirations in the past, but are having a hard time realizing them. They talk about being off track but still right on course, and mention losing their map, which could suggest that they have had a directional change in their life that is leading them to a new place.

Sometime in Summer 2009, I was walking around in SoHo, when the lead vocal approached me (I recognized her thanks to the eye makeup).
She had seen me smoking a cigarette and was motioning for a lighter.
She commented that I had a nice Zippo.
Best day of my life.

if it were raining with those flashing lights then it'd look as if the water droplets were frozen in the same place- it's a lovely sight.

Took me FOREVER to remember the name of this band. Actually I found it by browsing through band names from 2009. Glad I found it, can't believe this was 8 years ago :(
