Over Your Heart
Rob Crow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There
It's over your heart
It's easy to spot
It's easy to find

There
It's in your apartment
That hidden compartment
That part of a line

Same emotion as you

I'm on a medicated postcard

There's an enemy encroachment
There's an easy way to deal with that
With a wingspan of five miles
Named for the whole five thousand
There's no need to pad locks
There's no sign of phantoms

They're all wearing the same socks
Kind of relapse
Numbered buildings
The same stock never feed that

And if you stay one more
I'll leave with you

Here
It's something too far
It's out of your sight
You're out of your mind

There
Where nothing is spoken
Cause something is broken
There just isn't time

There's a strange itching
Up inside your head
Some remains
Something will exude from there





You should really learn to use a telephone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rob Crow's song "Over Your Heart" touch on the theme of inner turmoil, mental health struggles, and the difficulty in communicating our emotions to others. The repeated use of the word "there" throughout the song refers to the different places where these struggles manifest themselves. The first verse talks about how it is easy to spot someone's pain if we pay attention, but sometimes it can be hidden away like a "hidden compartment" in someone's apartment. The second verse talks about the internal struggles that we face - the "itching up inside our heads" and the "something broken" within us that we may not vocalize to others because there "isn't time".


The chorus, "same emotion as you, I'm on a medicated postcard", suggests that the singer may be feeling disconnected from others, and may be trying to connect with others by describing their situation in a letter or postcard. The bridge of the song uses phrases like "enemy encroachment" and "wingspan of five miles" to suggest the singer is feeling overwhelmed and anxious. However, the last line of the song, "you should really learn to use a telephone" reminds us that sometimes the best way to connect with others is through direct communication.


Overall, "Over Your Heart" is a poignant exploration of the struggles we all may face with our mental health, and the difficulty in communicating these struggles to others.
