Knot Comes Loose
My Morning Jacket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see, there's a part of me that's brand new? Used to
Be, was a part of me felt like hidin', but now it comes through
Deep in my heart, that's where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart I will remember you
All my lovely life I been waitin' hot heels anticipatin'
Another love I found not to let it down
Deep in my heart, that's where the knot comes loose
The opening line of "B, b, b, b can't you see that I'm smiling?" is initially interpreted to be a straightforward expression of joy, but when analyzed more closely, it is an indication of a deeper emotional disturbance. The repetition of the letter "b" likely represents a stutter, and the stutter is often a manifestation of an underlying anxiety or fear. Thus, the apparent smile may be a facade, masking the true feelings of angst and disquiet being experienced by the singer.
The line "Can't you see, there's a part of me that's brand new? Used to Be, was a part of me felt like hidin', but now it comes through" indicates that the singer has undergone a significant personal transformation. They have overcome their feelings of insecurity and self-doubt and now have an inner confidence that shines through. The party that once hid from the world is now eager to assert itself and claim its place in the world.
The chorus "Deep in my heart, that's where the knot comes loose, Deep in my heart I will remember you" suggests that this newfound confidence has come as a result of love or a past relationship. The knot that was once tied up inside the singer's heart, causing them pain, has been undone, and they are now free to move forward. Despite moving on, they still hold a deep affection for their past partner, and they will always remember them.
