Broken Heart
The Hotknives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She doesn't seem to care again.
I waited for a lifetime,
Just to dream of you with a broken heart.
It isn't how it used to be,
But is it just because of me?
It's only circumstantial evidence,
I waited for so long,
For you to talk of lost desires.
So who is right and who is wrong?
To tell the truth I'm just a liar.
Hey, hey hey!
She's falling through the air again,
She doesn't seem to care again.
I waited for a lifetime,
Just to dream of you with a broken heart,
Just to dream of you with a broken heart,
Just to dream of you with a broken heart,
The Hotknives's song "Broken Heart" paints a picture of someone who is stuck in a cycle of heartbreak and unrequited love. The lyrics tells the story of someone who has been waiting for a long time to be with the person they love, but things have not gone the way they hoped. The person they love seems to always be falling through the air, but never seems to care about the impact of their actions. The singer has waited for a lifetime just to dream of this person with a broken heart.
The singer is questioning whether things have changed because of them or if it is just circumstantial evidence. They have waited so long for the person they love to talk about their lost desires, but the truth is that they are just a liar. The repetition of the line "Just to dream of you with a broken heart" highlights the pain and disappointment the singer feels. It seems that they are stuck in a never-ending cycle of longing for a person they can never have.
