Heart
Swing Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see, how many names such as this
For they both have the very same sensation
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart
The opening lines of the song "Heart in 2" by Swing Kings takes the listener on a journey through a sensual and romantic night. The soothing and rhythmic tune is accompanied by lyrics that warn listeners to "beware" of their foolish heart. The uncertainty of love is conveyed through the contrast between the "lovely tune" of the night and the cautionary words. The ever-constant moon, a motif that is often associated with love, further amplifies the intensity of emotions that the song evokes.
The lyrics of the song delve deeper into the complex nature of love and how it can be intertwined with fascination. The lyrics state that it is hard to see the line between love and fascination and that both these emotions can give the same sensation. The song acknowledges that sometimes we don't even know what we're feeling, especially when we're "locked in the magic of a kiss". Despite the complications, the singer's heart has fallen in love, and it's not just fascination but something more. Through the lines "It's love, this time it's love, my foolish heart", the singer not only reveals the intensity of their feelings but also acknowledges their foolishness for falling in love.

It's real love this time around, not a mere infatuation
My foolish heart
My heart, which can sometimes make foolish decisions
