Jon and Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Carve me out
And take my mind
This is how
I want to waste my time
Entirely
A heartless beast
With rosy cheeks
Glass eyed freaks
(Somebodies controlling me)
While my thoughts just bleed
You
You just wonder
How you wound up in this place
And why you cant leave so soon
So soon
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
A crack appears
On you porcelain face
Hoping that you might just
(Stay this way)
Perfectly imperfect
But just for today
You
You just wonder
How you wound up in this place
And why you cant leave so soon
So soon
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
Hollow warm bodies
Warm bodies
Hollow warm bodies
They're oh so warm
The lyrics of "Body and Soul" express the pain and longing of an unrequited love. The singer's heart is full of sadness and loneliness because they are deeply in love with someone who doesn't seem to care about them. The lyrics are full of longing and wonder as the singer tries to understand why their love interest has not noticed their affection. The singer is willing to surrender their entire self to the person they love, no matter the cost. The lyrics suggest that the love is deep and intense, but the beloved is not returning the feelings.
The idea of surrendering oneself to another suggests vulnerability and dependency, which can be tough to accept or experience. The lyrics, in a way, suggest a one-sided relationship where one person is deeply invested in the other, but the affection is not being shared equally. The singer is also trying to convince their love interest to give them a chance to prove their love. The lyrics’ agony and passion make a compelling case, but unfortunately, they may not be enough to change the heart of someone who doesn't reciprocate.
Overall, "Body and Soul" is a song about love, heartbreak, and unrequited affection. The singer's pain is palpable, and their desire to be loved in return is heart-wrenching. It is a passionate and intense song that resonates with anyone who has loved deeply and not received the same in return.
