Heartbreak
Sophie Ellis-Bextor The Freemasons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well my maker
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

Overall Meaning

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.

@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)
