Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why'd you have to do that?
Tell me when you'll make these tears keep falling
Do you feel like a man?
Figure, figure there's no working you out whatsoever
Only one way I can sum you up altogether
You got a black heart
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart
No walls to build around me honey
'Cause you blew my house down
Sticks and stones won't put it back up for me
And that's where we're at now
Sicker, sicker, I ain't feeling your mouth whatsoever
Naming hurts me more than weight thrown around but whatever
You got a black heart
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
Somehow he's scaring me to death
He's big and bad
I love him like mad
Momma, he's the best I ever had
Daddy I've fallen for a monster
He got a black heart
He got a black heart
He got such a dirty black heart in him
I love him like mad
Oh, yes I do
He got a black heart
The song "Black Heart" by Stooshe is a powerful anthem about a toxic relationship with a man who has a "black heart." The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has fallen for this man, despite the fact that he continually hurts her and breaks her heart. She questions why he would do this to her and wonders if he feels like a man for making her cry. She describes him as having a black heart, which reflects his cruel and heartless nature. She continues to describe how the man has destroyed her walls and left her vulnerable, and how he continues to hurt her with his words.
The chorus is particularly powerful and heart wrenching as she sings "Daddy I've fallen for a monster, somehow he's scaring me to death. He's big and bad, I love him like mad. Momma, he's the best I ever had. Daddy I've fallen for a monster, he got a black heart." This section reveals the deep pain and confusion she is feeling, as she is torn between her love for this man and her fear of his abuse. She acknowledges that he is a monster, but also how he is the best and only person she has ever loved. Overall, "Black Heart" is an emotionally charged song about the complexities of abusive relationships and how hard it can be to leave someone who you deeply care for, even if they continually hurt you.

Wait till its 40 years old, I feel the same way about blondies heart of glass or Kate bush’s running up that Hill, as pink floyd said in their song ‘time’ from ‘Dark side of the moon’ ( coming up to the 45th anniversary of its release!)
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
The older you get the more profound those lyrics are.
