My Heart
The Blow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My arm around your waist
I was wanting to get to know you
Lean in and get a taste
I could hear your heart beating
And I found I wanted to eat your heart up
Chew it up and swallow
Get your blood to flow through my head
If I were to eat your heart up
And get your blood to flow in my wake
I'd be on to make the same mistake again
With someone else
You would be so easy to eat
You would be so easy to eat
You would be so easy to eat
My heart is like a savage, starving out and hiding low
Sees a chance it strikes and drags its kill back underground to gorge
Oh my heart...
I held you high off the ground
Lately you're telling me
You wanna be let down and you could walk around in the world with me
Oh my heart...
Where would we start? What would we do?
And what would people think
When they saw me out with you
It's so easy to feel like you have to hide your heart away
It's so easy to feel like you have to hide it all away
It's so easy to feel like you have to hide it all
The Blow's song "My Heart" paints the picture of someone who desires another person, to the point of wanting to consume them completely. The lyrics describe an encounter with the other person where the singer's arm is around their waist and they want to get to know them on a deeper level. As they lean in to "get a taste" of the other person, they can hear their heart beating and find themselves wanting to eat their heart up. The idea of absorbing the other person's essence by consuming their heart and having their blood flow through their head is both compelling and terrifying.
The singer then ponders the consequences of consuming someone's heart, realizing that they may make the same mistake again with someone else. The person they desire would be "so easy to eat," and the singer's heart is described as "savage" and "starving." There is a sense of danger and desperation in their desire, and the idea of consuming someone in order to possess them highlights the destructive nature of this kind of love.
As the song continues, the singer talks about holding the other person high off the ground, only to find out they want to be let down and explore the world together. The fear of judgment from others is apparent as the singer questions what people would think of them being together. The song ends on a note of vulnerability, as the singer acknowledges how easy it is to feel like they have to hide their heart away.
Overall, "My Heart" is an eerie exploration of the dark, twisted side of love and desire. The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the singer's desperate desire for the other person, while also acknowledging the potential consequences of consuming someone whole.
