Noble Heart
Phox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a low-level poison to drink through
I'd like to prove them wrong
But patterns show they're telling the truth
And yours is a noble heart I don't deserve to hold
Please, somebody make me weak
But sirens, I swear, are the death of me
I want the mouths of all who sing
And yours is a noble heart I don't deserve to hold
Oh, this scarlet lust has got its claws in me
It's taken over me
It's ruined what I could be for any man at all
But if you decide the two of us may be together endlessly
Blindly, oh blissfully, I'll gladly forgo them all
I'll gladly forgo them all.
The lyrics portray a sense of guilt and unworthiness felt by the singer towards the person they are addressing. The first verse talks about the singer being a "low-level poison," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for their negative influence on the person they are addressing or society in general. The singer acknowledges the patterns that suggest they are indeed toxic, but they still want to prove them wrong.
In the chorus, the singer declares that the recipient of their message has a noble heart, implying that they are a good person deserving of love and respect. However, the singer does not feel worthy of holding such a noble heart, which highlights their sense of unworthiness and self-blame.
In the second verse, the singer expresses their weakness towards the sea, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for temptation or desire. They acknowledge that they are easily swayed by the sirens, again highlighting their own toxicity. However, they would like to hear all the singers and experience everything despite the consequences.
Overall, the lyrics of "Noble Heart" showcase the inner turmoil of the singer who is tormented by their negative influence and unworthiness. Despite this, they recognize the goodness in the person they are addressing and their own desires.

Did they already tell you?
Have you already been warned?
I'm a low-level poison to drink through
I'm not good for you, I'll bring you down slowly
I'd like to prove them wrong
I want to show everyone that I can be better
But patterns show they're telling the truth
But my past has proven that they are right about me
And yours is a noble heart I don't deserve to hold
You are such a good person, I don't deserve to be with you
Please, somebody make me weak
I need someone to help me resist my own weaknesses
Keep me away from the sea
Keep me away from danger or things I'm weak to
But sirens, I swear, are the death of me
But I can't help but be drawn to things that are dangerous
I want the mouths of all who sing
I want to hear everyone's stories, especially the ones I'm attracted to
Oh, this scarlet lust has got its claws in me
I'm deeply consumed by my desire
It's taken over me
It has completely consumed me
It's ruined what I could be for any man at all
It has destroyed any chance of me being a good partner to anyone
But if you decide the two of us may be together endlessly
But if you are willing to stay with me forever
Blindly, oh blissfully, I'll gladly forgo them all
I will happily ignore my past and all my shortcomings for you
I'll gladly forgo them all.
I'm willing to give up everything for you
