Heartbeats
Jose 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 lyrics to Jose Gonzalez's song "Heartbeats" tell the story of a seemingly magical and intense night of love between two individuals. The first verse sets the scene of the night, a night that is characterized by confusion and an acceleration of the truth as two people make a promise to each other. The second verse reveals that both individuals were under the influence, but despite this, they were able to tap into an inexplicable connection and deep understanding of each other.


The chorus of the song questions whether calling for "hands from above to lean on" would be good enough for the singer to find solace in, possibly indicating that they are seeking something or someone higher than themselves to help them navigate the intensity of their relationship. The third verse introduces the idea of the "hand of the devil," perhaps alluding to a darker, more intense aspect of the relationship that keeps them awake with "wolves teeth." But in the end, they are still sharing the same heartbeats, hinting at the undeniable bond that they share.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a brief but intense brush with love, where two people have a profound connection and understanding of each other despite the clouded reality of their surroundings.

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 😢
