Plastic Hearts
Miley Cyrus Lyrics

Hello, the sunny place for shady people
This place is like a bright and warm welcome to all of the people who have darkness in their hearts.

A crowded room where nobody goes
Although there are many people here, it feels like everyone is alone and lost.

You can be whoever you wanna be here
Be whoever you want to be in this place without fear of judgment or criticism.

Oh, I've been living at the Chateau
The Chateau might be a metaphor for a luxurious but unfulfilling lifestyle that she's been living in for some time.

Shouldn't drive but I should really go home
She knows she shouldn't be driving, but it's time for her to leave this place and go back to reality.

I don't even know 'em but they won't leave here
There are strangers in this place that she doesn't even know, but they won't leave her alone.

Frightened by my own reflection
She's scared of who she sees in the mirror and what she's become.

Desperate for a new connection
She's looking for a new meaningful relationship, potentially to fill the emptiness she feels.

Pull you in but don't you get too close
She's warning the person not to get too close because it might end up being a superficial relationship.

Love you now but not tomorrow
She has fleeting feelings of love that may not last long term.

Wrong to steal but not to borrow
She's acknowledging that stealing is wrong but borrowing isn't as bad, which could be a metaphor for how she treats relationships.

I've been California dreaming
She's been having dreams of escaping or becoming something different, potentially wanting to leave behind the lifestyle represented by California luxe.

Plastic hearts are bleeding
Even though they look sleek and shiny, people's hearts still feel pain and bleed when hurt.

Lost in black hole conversation
Her conversations feel empty and meaningless, like they're disappearing into a black hole.

Sunrise suffocation
Even as the sun rises on this lifestyle, she still feels suffocated by it, like she can't breathe or escape.

I just wanna feel
She's looking for a sense of emotion or connection that she hasn't been able to find.

I just wanna feel something
She's emphasizing that she wants to feel anything genuine, rather than the emptiness she's currently feeling.

But I keep feeling nothing all night long
She keeps searching for that feeling, but it eludes her - she feels nothing.
