Black Heart
Love Ecstasy and Terror Lyrics

Something wicked this way comes
A dangerous and evil force is approaching

I move a little closer
Despite the danger, the singer is drawn to the force

Instincts say run
The singer's basic survival instincts urge them to flee

Eyes like midnight
The person or force the artist is drawn to has dark and mysterious eyes

Lips like a crime
The person or force has a mouth that is dangerous or harmful

I wonder if I'll make it out alive this time
The singer is aware of the danger and questions their ability to survive

Close my eyes I just play dead
The singer feels helpless and resigned to their fate

A knife into my heart
The force has hurt the artist emotionally

Just like a bullet to my head
The emotional pain is comparable to physical harm

She lays me down
The force has power over the artist

Into a shallow grave
The singer feels buried or trapped in their emotions

The life she takes
The force takes something vital from the artist

Will be the life she saves
The force may believe their actions are helping the singer in some way

She'll never hear these words
The singer knows their feelings will not be reciprocated

She'll never hear when I say
The singer feels their love will never be acknowledged or accepted

I love you
The artist has strong feelings of love for the force

But you don't want me
The force does not feel the same way

If I made you cry
The singer fears they may have hurt the force emotionally

Would you still haunt me?
The emotional pain may continue even if the force is not physically present

You turned making love
The force has changed the act of love into something negative or destructive

Into a black art
The force has made love into something dark and dangerous

And now you've turned my heart of gold
The force has turned the artist's love and positivity into something negative

Into a black heart
The singer's heart is now full of darkness and negativity

Darkness falls
The artist feels a sense of impending doom

I can hear the rain
The singer is aware of outside forces but still may feel helpless

She digs her fingers in my heart again
The force continues to hurt the singer emotionally

Her skin so white
The force is pale or sickly in appearance

She looks like the snow
The force may be associated with coldness or death

I try to escape
The artist attempts to get away from the force

But there's nowhere to go
The singer may feel trapped or unable to escape

She pays no attention
The force is indifferent to the singer's feelings

She captures my soul
The force has power over the artist's emotions and well-being

The more she ignores me
The artist is hurt by the force's lack of attention or affection

The more she controls
The force may be exerting power over the artist's emotions purposely

Three little words from between my lips
The singer wants to express their feelings of love to the force

Love Me Forever
The artist desires a lasting, loving relationship with the force

She can't see
The force is unaware of the singer's feelings or may be unfeeling themselves

She can't love
The force is unable or unwilling to love the singer in return

A man like me
The singer may feel unworthy of the force's love or attention

All the words
The emotions and feelings spoken by the artist

All the ways
The actions taken by the artist

All the lies
The deception or untruths present in the relationship or emotions

All the days
The amount of time that has passed

I can see
The artist is aware of the reality of the situation

The bitter end
The eventual negative or unfortunate outcome

I wonder
The artist has questions or doubts about the situation

And she pretends
The force may be putting on a façade or not being true to themselves

I can love
The artist is capable of strong emotions and love

I can feel
The singer is emotionally aware and expressive

Never trust
The singer has trust issues, likely due to the force's actions

Never real
The singer may feel that their emotions or the relationship are not genuine

I love you
The artist continues to express their feelings of love for the force

But you don't want me
The force is still unresponsive to the artist's expressions of love

If I made you cry
The singer fears they may have caused harm to the force's emotions

Would you still haunt me?
The emotional pain may continue even if the force is not physically present

You turned making love
The force has changed the act of love into something negative or destructive

Into a black art
The force has made love into something dark and dangerous

And now you've turned my heart of gold
The force has turned the artist's love and positivity into something negative

Into a black heart
The singer's heart is now full of darkness and negativity
