Heavy Heartless
Neon Waltz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The feelings that excite
My dream is far from true
To live with such distress
I keep it on my chest
As a foolish thing to do
When there's an answer that remains
Telling anyone who cares
Lifts a load I'll bear and heals my troubled mind
Nothing is okay
I'm going through a phase
Heavy heartless
I'm going through a phase
Heavy heartless
I could never find
The feelings that excite
My dream is far from true
Everyone is free but I'm holding on to life
like it's holding onto me
There's an answer that remains
To get me through the pain and relieve me for a while
Telling anyone who cares
Lifts a load I'll bear and heals my troubled mind
Nothing is okay
I'm going through a phase
Heavy heartless
I'm going through a phase
Heavy heartless
Nothing is okay
I'm going through a phase
Heavy heartless
I'm lost but trying to save
Any bottles left
These lyrics reflect a sense of loneliness and despair that seems to be overwhelming the singer. The feeling of not being able to find the excitement in life that others seem to enjoy, as they simply go through the motions of life, is highlighted by the reference to a dream that is far from true. The singer is obviously struggling with some kind of an emotional pain which is only worsened by their attempts to hold on to it, as if it were a "foolish thing to do". But in spite of the seeming hopelessness, there is still a glimmer of hope that shines through, as the singer acknowledges that there is an answer that remains to relieve him of the pain, even if only for a little while.
The repetition of the phrase "Nothing is okay" underscores the sense of despair that is pervasive in the lyrics. The singer is experiencing a phase that is heavy and heartless, making it all the more difficult to keep going. However, the act of sharing one's pain with someone who cares is presented as offering some relief, as it helps to lighten the burden that the singer has been carrying alone. The line "I'm lost but trying to save any bottles left" suggests a feeling of being at the mercy of the situation and trying to hold on to whatever positive experiences are left.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, even in the midst of emotional turmoil. It acknowledges the difficulty of trying to navigate through life when it feels like nothing is going right, but also points to the importance of finding ways to cope and connect with others in order to find some relief and healing.
