Heartbeats
J. Gonzalez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away

Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief

Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolfs teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night

To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

To call for hands of above




To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough

Overall Meaning

The song "Heartbeats" by J. Gonzalez is a beautiful ballad that makes one reflect on the memories of youthful love and the beauty and confusion that come with it. The song speaks of two people who come together for one night of passion, but this night has a deeper significance for them, as it is a night where a promise was made. The two are under the influence and are full of passion, but their minds are like razors, and they know what they want to say. The feeling of the song is very powerful and emotive as it expresses the beauty and confusion of youth's fleeting moments.


The lyrics express the feeling of the singer and the person he spent the night with, and it is clear that they both knew it was a magical moment that would not last forever. The lyrics take on a nostalgic tone as the singer looks back on the moment, saying they had a promise made, and they were in love. However, their love was not enough for the singer as he calls for hands above to lean on, but it would not be good enough. The song ends with the singer saying they shared different heartbeats in one night.

This song meant a lot to my husband who was dying with cancer back in 2017. The words struck a cord with him. It's really beautiful. Still listening in 2024 😢
