Listen to Your Heart
Roxette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
And there are voices that want to be heard
So much to mention but you can't find the words
The sense of magic, the beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do




I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Roxette's song "Listen to Your Heart" speak of a relationship that is falling apart. The singer notices that despite the smile on their partner's face, there is something wrong as reflected in their eyes. The love that they had built together is now slowly disintegrating, and their once little piece of heaven has turned dark. The lyrics make an appeal for the partner to listen to their heart, which is calling out to them. The singer acknowledges that they do not know where their partner is going, but they want them to listen to their heart before they tell their partner goodbye.


The song's chorus repeats the message of listening to your heart with a sense of urgency, as there is nothing else you can do other than paying attention to what it says. The lyrics talk about the fleeting nature of precious moments that are lost in the tide and swept away. Despite the inability to express their thoughts and feelings thoroughly, the song suggests that there is something magical and beautiful in their relationship that needs to be remembered. The song ends with a final plea to listen to your heart before telling your partner goodbye.

Бывают моменты, хочется прослушать старые песни. Сегодня, 12.02.2024,именно тот день, я росла на песнях Roxette и прочих зарубежных и советских песнях, фильмах. Мне будет 36, и очень приятно окунаттся в ностальгию😊

@jourdontempleton8771

Listened to this 5 times in a row while drunk 😂 absolutely top class. No music like this anymore.
