Scala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start, a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors, red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you
You knew the hand of the Devil
And you
Kept us awake with wolf's teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
"Heartbeats" by Scala & Kolacny Brothers is a cover of the original song by Swedish electronic music duo The Knife. The lyrics of the song describe a night of passion and intensity between two individuals who are under the influence of something divine. The first verse explains how they made a promise together and then moved away, suggesting that this was a fleeting romance.
The second verse describes the aftermath of this night - ten days of perfect tunes and a promise that was made. The bridge of the song talks about how the singer wouldn't be satisfied with just calling for hands of above or leaning on someone else. They need something more. The final verse shifts the narrative slightly, and the lyrics suggest that one of the individuals involved may have had a darker side. The use of the metaphor of "wolf's teeth" suggests that this person was dangerous, and they kept the singer awake. In the end, the song is about the connection between two people who have shared an intense experience, even if it was just for one night.
Line by Line Meaning
One night to be confused
We spent one night feeling unsure and uncertain
One night to speed up truth
That same night, we attempted to uncover the reality of our situation at a rapid pace
We had a promise made
There was a vow between us
Four hands and then away
Eventually, we parted ways
Both under influence
We were both affected by something powerful
We had divine scent
We were surrounded by a heavenly aroma
To know what to say
We knew just what to express
Mind is a razor blade
Our thoughts were sharp and cutting
To call for hands of above
We called out for divine intervention
To lean on
We searched for support
Wouldn't be good enough
However, that alone would not suffice
For me, no
Personally, I required more than just divine intervention and support
One night of magic rush
Another night was filled with exhilarating wonder
The start, a simple touch
It all began with a modest point of contact
One night to push and scream
We screamed and fought that same night
And then relief
And following the battle, we experienced relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
We spent a whole ten days surrounded by pleasant melodies
The colors, red and blue
During our time together, we significantly associated with the hues red and blue
We were in love
It turned out we were both in love with one another
And you. You knew the hand of the Devil
One of us had intimate knowledge of wickedness and evil
And you kept us awake with wolf's teeth
That same individual also prevented us from resting peacefully using animalistic tactics
Sharing different heartbeats in one night
Together, we joined our hearts for one brief period of time
To call for hands of above
Once again, we called for divine intervention
To lean on
We once again searched for support
Wouldn't be good enough
However, we know that alone, that help would not suffice
For me, no
Personally, I required more than just divine intervention and support
To call for hands of above
To finish, we renewed our call for divine assistance
To lean on
And we also expressed our need to lean on support
Wouldn't be good enough
Still, there needed to be something more
