Permanent Heartbreak
Sylencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So few and far between, I've always longed for more
With just a little taste, I find myself in a broken state
No matter how hard I try, I can't fight this yearning deep inside
So uneasy, consumed by the pain
So unsure of what to do, I'll say goodnight again
Scared of what might happen if I raise the stakes
My heart, has failed me
My heart, has ceased to beat
My heart, could not take the stakes
Permanent heartbreak
Please don't tell me, I can't take anymore
There's nothing more to be said of the ultimate score
It's not a matter of lust for what I cannot have
Cuz once I set my sights I can't kill the rush deep inside
So uneasy, consumed by the pain
So unsure of what to do, I'll say goodnight again
Scared of what might happen if I raise the stakes
Build myself up for a crash, a permanent heartbreak
My heart, has failed me
My heart, has ceased to beat
My heart, could not take the stakes
Permanent heartbreak
Permanent Heartbreak
The lyrics to Sylencer's song "Permanent Heartbreak" describe the pain and confusion of being caught in a cycle of wanting and not being able to have someone or something. The singer acknowledges that this isn't the first time they've felt this way, and that they've always longed for more. They know that just a small taste of what they desire can leave them broken and yearning for more, even though they know they can't fight it. The uncertainty and fear of raising the stakes and risking a permanent heartbreak seems to consume the singer, leaving them unsure of what to do and saying goodnight again and again. But despite the pain and heartbreak, the singer cannot seem to let go of the rush they feel when they set their sights on something they desire.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of a "permanent heartbreak", repeating the phrase three times and describing how the singer's heart has failed them and cannot take the stakes. The singer seems almost resigned to their fate, recognizing that they cannot take anymore, and that there's nothing more to be said of the ultimate score. It's not just a matter of lust or desire, but a deep and consuming need that they cannot escape.
Overall, "Permanent Heartbreak" is a poignant and emotional exploration of the pain and longing that can come with unrequited love or desire. The singer's vulnerability and honesty make the song powerful and relatable, capturing the raw emotions that can come with being caught in such a difficult situation.
