Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you ever seen me as your friend
Anything we have is those hungry nights
But there's so much left unsatisfied
All those little things you told me
Ain't good enough to show me
That we're gonna make it through the time
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that I'm doin' right
Together we are still so far apart
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
And the more I try to be your light
I can't get any closer to your heart
Now that I'm afraid just to ask for more
I'm still waiting as I did before
If you only sad that it's not too late
We could then rely upon our fate
All those little things you tell me
Could bear enough to show me
That we're gonna make it through the time
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that i'm tellin' right
Together we are still so far apart
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
That the more I try to be your light
I can't get any closer to your heart
To your heart
I found out, I found out
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that I'm doin' right
Together we are still so far apart
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
And the more I try to be your light
I can't get any closer to your heart
I found out in the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that I'm doin' right
Together we are still so far apart
Together we are still so far apart
The song "In the Middle of a Heartbeat" by Helloween is about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The lyrics speak to a situation where the singer has feelings for someone who doesn't reciprocate in the same way. The verses talk about the relationship being based on "hungry nights" and the fact that they have "so much left unsatisfied." The singer is questioning whether their "pretty girl" knows him and sees him as a friend, and whether their connection is strong enough to sustain them through difficult times.
Throughout the song, the singer continues to express their confusion and frustration over the relationship. They say that "all those little things you told me ain't good enough to show me that we're gonna make it through the time." They are waiting for a sign from the other person that they feel the same way or that there is still hope for the relationship. However, they ultimately come to the realization that no matter how hard they try, they can't get any closer to the other person's heart.
The chorus repeats the title of the song, with the singer saying they "found out in the middle of a heartbeat" that they are still so far apart, and that no matter how much they try, they can't get any closer to the other person's heart. The song ends with the same sentiment, that despite their efforts, the two are still far apart.
