Start noticing all of the signs
Such deep affliction, you want to know why?
I'm changing face all of the time
You'd throw away all that's dear and needing
I've been through times like this before
Walk in a circle that sweats with meaning
A new line I've found I'm piercing
The needle slips to the floor
The rush I feel gives me mercy
The lifeless vein flows no more
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Draws me in close to its eye
Holding on to the signs of reflection
Whisper the words as I die
Of a heart attack
A tightness stretching my chest as you speak
The words seem to sound like a mess
Why did you think you could change what I am?
Powers you think you possess
Don't throw away all that's close and meaning
We've been through times like this before
The pressure builds as it reeks of needing
The hate you scream kills me more
A new line I've found I'm piercing
The needle slips to the floor
The rush I feel gives me mercy
The lifeless vein flows no more
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Draws me in close to its eye
Holding on to the signs of reflection
Whisper the words as I die
Of a heart attack
Of a heart attack
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Draws me in close to its eye
Holding on to the signs of reflection
Whisper the words as I die
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Draws me in close to its eye
Holding on to the signs of reflection
Whisper the words as I die
Of a heart attack
Of a heart attack
The lyrics of "Heart Attack" by Silent Force are dark and intense. The song seems to be about someone who is battling addiction and is consumed by self-destructive behavior. The first verse speaks about the drastic changes the person goes through and their afflictions. They seem to be on a downward spiral, and the second person seems to be trying to stop them from throwing away everything that they hold dear. The addiction is compared to a need for a rush, evidenced in the lines, "The rush I feel gives me mercy, the lifeless vein flows no more."
The chorus speaks of a light at the end of the tunnel, drawing the person in, but it seems to be a negative thing as they whisper words as they die. The last part of the song speaks of the tightness in the person's chest, indicating a heart attack brought on by their addiction or their destructive habits. The lyrics are emotional and insightful into the pain and struggles someone with addiction can go through.
