The Funeral of Hearts
Him/Him & Her Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
an ode for cruelty
when angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame
The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question, why?
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
The Funeral of Hearts by Him/Him & Her is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the dark side of love. The chorus of the song talks about how love can sometimes be like a funeral, where hearts are broken and people are left to mourn the loss of a relationship. The lyrics suggest that cruelty and evil often go hand in hand with love and that sometimes, the pain of love can only be described in terms of death and sorrow.
The song goes on to describe two lovers, one who is like the sun shining on the tomb of hopes and dreams, and the other who is like the moon painting the other with its pale and vulnerable glow. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is both beautiful and tragic, with both partners being drawn to each other like moths to a flame. But love is also described as a gun that separates the two lovers and makes it impossible for them to be together.
The final lines of the song suggest that the love between the two partners has come to an end, and the heretic seal beyond divine implies that something terrible has happened. The plea for mercy and the questioning of why love had to end leave the listener with a sense of sadness and loss.

She was the sun
She brought light and warmth to his life
Shining upon
Blessing him with her presence and radiance
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
But at the same time, reminding him of the fragility of his hopes and dreams
He was the moon
He was her opposite, but still a source of light and inspiration
Painting you
Illuminating her with his own light
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale
But his light was also delicate and easily obscured
She was the wind,
She brought change and movement into his life
carrying in
Bringing with her
All the troubles and fears here for years tried to forget
Including all the problems and fears he had avoided for years
He was the fire,
He was intense and passionate
restless and wild
Always burning and never quite satisfied
And you were like a moth to that flame
But she was drawn to that energy and intensity, even at the risk of getting burned
The heretic seal beyond divine
This line is more abstract and can have different meanings, but it could refer to a sense of separation from religion or spirituality
Pray to god who's deaf and blind
Feeling powerless and unheard, despite reaching out to a higher power
The last night's the soul's on fire
The last night before something ends can be intense and emotional
Three little words and a question why
Sometimes even the smallest things can trigger big emotions and uncertainty

"The Funeral Of Hearts"
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
She was the sun
Shining upon
The tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail
He was the moon
Painting you
With it's glow so vulnerable and pale
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you
She was the wind, carrying in
All the troubles and fears you've for years tried to forget
He was the fire, restless and wild
And you were like a moth to that flame
The heretic seal beyond divine
A prayer to a god who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question why
Love's the funeral of hearts
And an ode for cruelty
When angels cry blood
On flowers of evil in bloom
The funeral of hearts
And a plea for mercy
When love is a gun
Separating me from you

Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊
Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄
I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏
Amen.
I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊
'' CREATOR, LORD GOD,
Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen. ''
You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both ☺ Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol. 🙏
Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want

The atmosphere of this video is absolutely amazing. So ethereal, gothic, symbolic, probably even pagan. I wish, I could decode all its hidden meaning.

Being madly in love despite billions of years having separated it is all there is to decode

You look for a Deity, sad..

I really like this video. Seen it only recently first time, but it feels like I'm living in these few minutes like forever. Dunno why, but it got so comfy atmosphere for me. It feels like warm and cozy room after coming in from crazy cold storm outside. And all that demons are like best friends sitting around, lol.
