Haunted Heart
Little Hurricane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ll be your thief in the night so I can steal you. I’ll be your church where you pray so I can heal you. I’ll be your lover where you lay so I can feel you. I’ll be your sunlight in your day so I can see you

You’ll be my life, when I am dead. I’ll be your calm, in the storm ahead

You’ll be the beat in my heart, when there is none. You’ll be the air in my lungs, when my breath is done. You’ll be the tears I can't cry, when I’m weeping. You’re my only reason to keep from sleeping

You’ll be my life, when I am dead. I’ll be you’re calm, in the storm ahead. Tell my woman that I try to stay close still by her side.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics above are from the song Haunted Heart by the band Little Hurricane. The song is an intense love ballad about two individuals who are deeply in love with each other. The lyrics revolve around the idea of how intertwined the two lovers are in each other's lives. The first paragraph speaks about how the singer is willing to go to any lengths for their lover. They use the metaphor of a thief to suggest that they want to "steal" their lover, and also as a way to emphasize how far they are willing to go to be with them. The singer will be their "church" where they pray, suggesting that they provide a source of comfort and healing for the lover. They will be their "lover where they lay" and the "sunlight in their day," emphasizing how their presence is essential for the lover's wellbeing.


The second paragraph is equally intense, with the singer declaring that their lover will be their life even after they are gone. They use the imagery of being a calming presence in the storm ahead, suggesting that they will always be there to support and protect their lover. The lines "you’ll be the beat in my heart when there is none" and "you’ll be the air in my lungs when my breath is done" are particularly poignant, emphasizing that the two are so connected that they cannot live without each other. The final line "Tell my woman that I try to stay close still by her side" suggests that the singer wants their lover to know that even when they are apart, they are still trying to be close and connected to them.

They opened for a band I went to see at the Fonda Theater in L.A. back in 2014. I hadn't heard of them before that. I ended up liking them more than the band I went there for. She played drums barefoot in a dress with this little chandelier sitting nearby...the coolest chick. His voice drew me in completely. I've been a fan since that night, but saw them only one other time...The Belly Up in Solana Beach.
