Heartbreak
Sophie Ellis-Bextor The Freemasons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Must 've been a hard heartbreaker
I said my maker
Must 've been a hard heartbreaker
I'll tell you why
I'm breaking my own heart
Tryin'....to love a faker
Like a blind man
My little house is on fire
Just like a blind man
My little house is on fire
I'm burning my own eyes out
Tryin'....to reach the door
Well the sun is shining
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart
Well the sun is shining
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart
I'm wasting my whole life
Tryin'.....to make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
The lyrics of "Heartbreak" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor & The Freemasons are draped in the pain and suffering of a heartbroken individual. The opening lines "Well my maker, must've been a hard heartbreaker, I said my maker, must've been a hard heartbreaker" are a metaphor for fate and destiny, implying that the person's life has been made difficult by the choices of a higher power. The chorus "I'm breaking my own heart, tryin' to love a faker" speaks to the inner turmoil of falling for someone who is not genuine, causing more harm to oneself by staying in a relationship that isn't healthy. The second verse begins with "like a blind man, my little house is on fire", carrying the same metaphor from the first verse, and showing how desperation and confusion can lead to a destructive situation.
As the bridge comes in, "Well, the sun is shining, but it sure don't seem to reach my heart", the imagery of the sun is used to show that external factors can't heal what is broken inside. The last lines, "I'm wasting my whole life, tryin' to make a new start, make a new start" show that the individual is stuck in a cycle of trying to fix what is broken, but can't seem to find a way out. The repeated phrase "make a new start" is a cry for help, a plea to break the cycle and finally move on.

So seven hours and All 12 birds... later...
Of course, there are twenty four on Beach Comber Day.
We were good, weren't we? I mean, as trivial miltitrillion dollar bitton-push wreckage goes (all hush hush, of course..the family, hostage akin, Ransome, mean irritable bowel syndrome from the Man who Would t Dare Kings wife...etc) damned awesome.
Oh, and Baby? Who's your Daddy?
Think . Thay could be Reloaded, and yu know the shit ponces here storm about ith when you SpadeFine their own SpineFades...
I want to cost you busuits with that for Ed dinner dinner. And melon, but Carngue down the road keeps shouting about "under the influence of friendly people", which , along with a veriety if Small Stuff gets license plates from Brian Smiley if Manitobas NenchPressed
Press of the Bench (joint Vicky and Schmeckers ow worship, I dukgence model, 1996..)
And damn...forgot what I was saying
@anastazjadziemiaszewicz5960
I've tried to hold myself together
Tried to forget you've gone away
The tears I've cried
They won't subside
Unless the music starts to play
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
(Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone)
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
Keep my heart beating faster, faster
Love, stop bringing me down, down, down
(Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone)
I need to feel I'm getting stronger
Long as I'm moving it feels true
And with each step (with each step)
I will forget (I will forget)
Forget all of those memories of you
(Keep it coming)
Keep it coming on and on and on
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop getting me down, down, down
(Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone)
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
Keep my heart beating faster, faster
Love, stop bringing me down, down, down
(Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone)
Heartbreak (heartbreak)
Heartbreak (heartbreak)
Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone
Heartbreak, make me a dancer, dancer
DJ, give me the answer, answer
Love, stop bringing me down, down, down
(Do it alone, I couldn't do it alone)
