Carved Heart
Natural Snow Buildings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't throw it away
Nor can you give it back
Until your heart decays
The face soon forgets
You can't run far away
Forever rise from the grave
The lyrics of Natural Snow Buildings' song Carved Heart hold a deep meaning about the burden of love and its impact on individuals. The first line "The ring carved on your finger" speaks about a totem of commitment and love that is now a part of a person's very being, and cannot be discarded easily. The second line "You can't throw it away" suggests that once love has left its mark, it is always a part of us, and despite how painful it might be, we are unable to throw it away. The next line "Nor can you give it back" talks about the inability to eradicate love, and even if we try to forget it or ignore it or even run away from it, our hearts do not allow us to truly separate ourselves from love, and it remains a part of us. Finally, the last line "Until your heart decays" implies that love will always stay in our hearts until the end of time, unless something happens to the person, or circumstances lead to a decay of the heart's capacity to love.
The following lines "The face soon forgets, You can't run far away" are a reminder that while our hearts remain loyal to love, our minds and rationality might often fail us, and it becomes difficult to comprehend or deal with the emotions of love, leading to forgetfulness or denial. However, the lyrics "Forever rise from the grave, Escorting you back always" reiterate that love will always have a grip over us, and no matter how many times we try to move on or deny our feelings, it's bound to rise again, reminding us the power and depth of emotions.

Separating from my fiancée of 5 years, it will always haunt me, fill me with regret, and I’ll always remember the pain. This is what this song means to me
