The Beat of Your Heart
Moxie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you go to the border of life again?
I wanna know if I must plan
To survive without your voice,
Without your love, my love,
Your name on my skin,
Your chin, your affection,
The beat of your heart.
I've seen the cracks in the wall.
I feel we are drifting.
I just need to know
If I'll have to go on, to move on, to live on without the beat of your heart.
Do you go to the border of life again?
I wanna know if I must plan
To survive without your voice,
Without your love, my love,
Your name on my skin,




Your chin, your affection,
The beat of your heart.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Moxie's song The Beat of Your Heart center around the theme of the uncertainty of a relationship. The opening lines ask the question "Do you go to the border of life again?" This line could be interpreted as asking whether the relationship is at a crossroads, where it could either survive or end. The singer then expresses a need to know whether they have to plan to live without their partner's love, voice and most specifically, the beat of their heart. The metaphor of the "border of life" could be understood as either death or the end of a relationship, which adds to the overall tension of the lyrics.


As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the singer has seen the "cracks in the wall" and feels they are "drifting." These lines could be interpreted to mean that the relationship is on the verge of breaking up, and the writer needs to know whether they will need to move on without the "beat of [their partner's] heart." The final line suggests that the singer is seeking assurance that their relationship will survive and that they will not be left alone.


The song's emotional depth and poetic language make it a moving and relatable piece of music. The lyrics' ambiguity allows listeners to relate to the song in different ways, depending on their personal experiences.
