Black Heart
The Seven Year Itch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don′t need nothing else but truth
A stranger to the world
It feels not like me
Suffocated while I breath
Be choked while in sleep
Pick the right side
(Instrumental)
Don't put life on the line
(Instrumental)
The days we′ve lived
Have made us this far
All I need is you
The days we've lived
Is the only thing that matters
Now I can see what I've become
(Instrumental)
Now bring me the horizon
And see what I′ve become
Let his black heart betray us
Swords that makes us fight
Shields that saves our lives
There is only one thing in my mind
All stars can be brighter
All hearts can be warmer
The days we′ve lived
Have made us this far
All I need is you
The days we've lived
Is the only thing that matters
Now I can see what I′ve become
All I need is you
The days we've lived
Is the only thing that matters
Now I can see what I′ve become
The Seven Year Itch's song "Black Heart" is a powerful and emotive piece that touches on a variety of themes, including personal identity, inner struggle, and the importance of truth. The lyrics describe someone who feels like a stranger in their own world and is struggling to find a sense of belonging. The singer notes that they don't need anything other than honesty, even if it means going against the tide and choosing their own destiny.
The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of the past and the journey that has led the singer to where they are now. They declare that all they need is their partner, who has been with them through it all. However, the final lines of the song take a darker turn, as the singer calls for someone with a "black heart" to come and betray them. The ambiguous and somewhat unsettling nature of this ending leaves the listener wondering about the true meaning of the song and the boundaries between good and evil.
