Heartbreaker
Motг¶rhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything has changed
Got to search and destroy
Everything has changed
Got to move stop the dreams
All protection gone
Listen how the people scream
On and on and on
Time to get away from here
You won’t see me shed a tear
No time to say goodbye
Danger in the dead of night
Takes away the strength to fight
All we know is black despair
Heartbreaker
You remember what you said
In the first attack
Stand your ground fight your best
Drop ‘em in their tracks
Now the story changed again
Sing a different song
Listen how the shots ring out
On and on and on
Time to get away my dear
There’s no future for us here
Say a prayer and fly
Horror from the break of day
Make a strong man turn away
All we know is black despair
Heartbreaker
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
All the lights are dying now
See the shadows fall
Nearly all the people gone
Soon their rights ‘n’ all
Running through the ruins
All directions wrong
Listen to the world scream out
On and on and on
Time to get us outta here
No emotion only fear
Say a last goodbye
Monsters at the edge of time
Waiting ‘til we cross the line
All we find is black despair
Heartbreaker
Foul things reach out for blood
Never does a bit of good
All we find is black despair
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
The lyrics to Motörhead's song Heartbreaker paint a picture of a post-apocalyptic world where the rules of society and protection have been erased. The singer advises to "be careful where you stand" as "everything has changed." He urges the listener to "search and destroy" and "stop the dreams," indicating that they need to take action in this new world. The people around them are screaming and the singer can't shed a tear.
The chorus contains the titular phrase "heartbreaker," which is likely referring to the situation in which they find themselves - a world of great danger where everything they have ever known is gone. The lyrics are charged with emotion and call for immediate action, including running away from this place before it's too late. The lyrics use powerful imagery such as "Monsters at the edge of time / Waiting 'til we cross the line / All we find is black despair."

Be cautious of your surroundings and situation

No safeguard or defense is present anymore
Listen how the people scream
Hear the agony and suffering of the individuals around
On and on and on
The misery never stops
Time to get away from here
Leave this place at once
You won’t see me shed a tear
There's no time or reason for showing emotions
No time to say goodbye
There's not enough time for proper farewells
Danger in the dead of night
The night has become a hazardous time
Takes away the strength to fight
It's difficult to resist danger in this situation
All we know is black despair
Hopelessness is all we feel
Heartbreaker
A heartless, crushing force
You remember what you said

In the first attack
At the initial strike
Stand your ground fight your best
Remain firm and put up a good fight
Drop ‘em in their tracks
Defeat the opposition immediately
Now the story changed again
The narrative has shifted once more
Sing a different song
Make a new plan or approach
Listen how the shots ring out
Hear the sounds of gunshots all around
Time to get away my dear
We should abscond from this place, my love
There’s no future for us here
We can't stay here since there is no hope for us
Say a prayer and fly
Offer a prayer and depart immediately
Horror from the break of day
Even the early morning brings a sense of horror
Make a strong man turn away
It's too gruesome for a person with willpower to even look at
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
An exclamation of distress and call to action
All the lights are dying now
The lights are fading away eventually
See the shadows fall
Notice the shadows are stretching across the ground
Nearly all the people gone
Most of the population has disappeared
Soon their rights ‘n’ all
All their privileges and liberties will vanish soon
Running through the ruins
Sprinting amidst the wreckage and debris
All directions wrong
No route or direction is correct at present
Listen to the world scream out
Hear the entire world crying out in pain
Time to get us outta here
We should evacuate this place now
No emotion only fear
We are only feeling fear and dread, no other emotion
Say a last goodbye
Bid farewell for the final time
Monsters at the edge of time
Unfathomable creatures beyond time and space
Waiting ‘til we cross the line
They are waiting for us to overstep our boundaries
Foul things reach out for blood
Evil things are trying to grab and harm us
Never does a bit of good
There's no point in trying to resist as it's futile
All we find is black despair
We are engulfed by hopelessness
Heartbreaker
A crushing, destructive force
Heartbreaker
A heartless, devastating force
Heartbreaker
A soulless, brutal force
