The Killer And The Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Temporary relief for this long-term pain
Faces are melting, our smiles are ash
All up in smoke, just like yesterday’s trash
The flames extinguish all the tears in my eyes
This pain helps to fuel all of your lies
I guess I lost all faith
When I saw him running down your face
I lay face down but I’m not playing dead this time
I really died tonight
I’m trying to sleep, not solving a thing
Maybe I was better off not admitting the pain
My heart is breaking while these demons pull
This bottle is empty, this gun’s a mouthful
This holy water, it burns like fire
Down my crooked throat to reveal the liar
I guess I lost all faith
When I saw him running down your face
You’re on your knees, but you’re not praying
I lay face down but I’m not playing dead this time
I really died tonight
The Killer And The Star's song "My Heart" is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a relationship that has fallen apart. The singer's heart is broken, and they are using temporary remedies like alcohol, drugs, and late-night parties as a temporary relief from the long-term pain. The singer paints a picture of despair as they describe how their relationship has died and how that death has hurt them, leaving them to die alone.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their pain and the end of the relationship. They feel like they have lost all faith in the world, particularly their partner. The line "When I saw him running down your face" suggests that the singer caught their partner cheating. The line "You’re on your knees, but you’re not praying" suggests that the partner is begging for forgiveness, but the singer is no longer willing to play along. The use of the phrase "I lay face down but I’m not playing dead this time" suggests that the singer was once willing to overlook their partner's infidelity, but no longer.
In the last verse of the song, the singer takes drastic action to cope with their pain by turning to drugs, alcohol, and suicide. They describe the pain of holy water burning like fire as it goes down their throat, indicating that even the things that are supposed to help can hurt them. The singer feels lost and helpless, with their heart and soul broken beyond repair. The line "I really died tonight" suggests that the singer has given up hope of ever finding a way to heal their broken heart.
