Half of My Heart
Luca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what that means
I know where you are
And you do not see me
I love it when I hold my arms out
And the world comes rushing to me
I met you with my heart out
This world is foreign to me
I donāt know how
I donāt know why
I- Iām already there
Nothing to see here
Nothing in between
Shaking knees
I love it when I hold my arms out
And the world is rushing to me
I met you with my heart out
This world is foreign to me
I donāt know where
I donāt know how
I donāt know why
(Iām standing besides you)
And you cannot see (Iām standing behind you)
And you cannot be (Iām standing behind you)
And you donāt see me behind you (Iām standing besides you)
Luca's song Half of my heart explores themes of longing, unrequited love, and the feeling of being invisible. The opening lines of the song, "Lighting up my screen, you know what that means. I know where you are and you do not see me," suggests that the singer has a crush on someone who they only interact with through social media. This creates a sense of distance and detachment, as they are unable to physically be with the person they desire.
The chorus of the song, "I love it when I hold my arms out and the world comes rushing to me. I met you with my heart out, this world is foreign to me," reveals a deeper sense of loneliness and alienation. The singer finds solace in imagining the world rushing towards them, but this is only a momentary escape from their feelings of disconnectedness. They feel exposed and vulnerable in a strange world that they don't quite understand.
The closing lines of the song, "And you cannot see, and you cannot be, and you don't see me behind you," highlights the main theme of being unnoticed and invisible. The singer is standing close to the person they desire, but they go unnoticed. This final confession of love is both heartbreaking and raw, as the singer reveals their innermost feelings knowing they won't be reciprocated.
Overall, Half of my heart is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and feelings of being invisible. The song delves into the isolation of social media and the distance it can create between people, while also highlighting the intense desire for human connection.
