Drive Away My Heart
Ida Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should capture my view
Cause I don't want nothing else but you
You can treat me like you please
Baby, it's OK with me
Leave me bleeding on the floor
From my heart, from my heart's core
Oh, drive away my heart tonight
Cause it is no loner mine
Drive away my heart tonight
Cause it's no longer mine
I wanna give you love
I wanna show you love
And so love will be my grave
Love will be my grave
Oh, drive away my heart tonight
Cause it is no longer mine
Drive away my heart tonight
Cause it's no longer mine
In Ida Maria's song "Drive Away My Heart," she talks about being completely consumed by love for someone and being willing to do anything to keep them in her life, even if it means sacrificing her own emotional well-being. The lyrics "Fear is no longer hanging around, you should capture my view, 'cause I don't want nothing else but you" indicate that her fear of being hurt or rejected has disappeared and that all she wants is the person she loves. She is willing to let them treat her as they wish, even if it causes her pain ("Leave me bleeding on the floor, from my heart's core"). The chorus, where she repeats "Drive away my heart tonight 'cause it is no longer mine," implies that she wants this person to take control of her emotions and feelings completely, even if it means losing her own sense of self.
The song is an introspective look at the complexities of love and how it can consume someone's identity. Ida Maria talks about how she wants to give this person all of her love and that it's so intense that it will be the death of her ("And so love will be my grave"). Essentially she is saying that she is completely in love with this person and is willing to let them drive away her heart and identity, all for the sake of love.
