Heartless
LÃ¥psley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Navigate to find a way
But I'm yet to fully grow
Hide away but I've got a face to show
Jealousy should fill up the space
But it empties me when she's in your embrace
Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake up heartless
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake up heartless
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
I still walk down the path I know is sewn
I still bow down when I know I'm alone
Just never spoken it's something you'll always hide
Time is broken
I'm let to fend the night
I'm let to fend the night
Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake up heartless
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Scanning the space for a prompt card blank wall
Space distance and a backbench post
These are the times I suffer the most
Night stretches to beyond the darkness
It wraps around me and I wake wake
up heartless
In Låpsley's song Heartless, the lyrics reveal the struggles and emotions that come with navigating through life, especially when it comes to matters of love and heartbreak. The artist is scanning the space for a prompt card or some form of guidance, but she's met with a blank wall. It's almost like she's searching for answers in a place where there's none to be found. She's trying to navigate her way and find herself, but she admits that she's not fully grown yet. She's hiding away, but she still has a face to show. The lyrics suggest that the artist is feeling jealous, but instead of filling up the space, it's actually emptying her when she sees her former lover in someone else's embrace.
The lyrics also talk about the struggles of being alone - the space, distance, and a backbench post that make her suffer the most. The night stretches beyond the darkness and wraps around her, causing her to wake up heartless. Despite the challenges, the artist continues to walk down the path she knows is sewn and bows down, even when she knows she's alone. She's never spoken about her pain, so it's something that she will always hide. The time is broken, and she's left to fend the night. The lyrics suggest that amidst all of the struggles and hardships, the artist is still trying to navigate her way through it all.
