Heartbeat In The Brain
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just trying to find a way out to a city so big that it is bound to keep your secrets.
Pack your seats high, saying goodbye to your close friends.
Making some promises like “I’ll see you again.”
So when will I see you again?
(new apartment complexes rising)
I know a few chords that could make you miss me.
They ring and decay in this garage every few days.
So if you want to come back east, then maybe you can help me find it.
(take down your pictures pack your belongings.)
If your arms are just felt then when you hold me I’ll feel held.
We’ll sink in these notes.
It never felt like this.
Tell me we belong here.
If your arms become smoke then I’ll have nothing left to hold.
We’ll dissipate with these notes.
It shouldn’t feel like this if everyone belongs here.��
The lyrics to "Heartbeat In The Brain" by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die are intensely introspective and poetic. The song starts off with a reflective tone about the idea of "home" and the sense of belonging. The lyrics suggest that even when one has found their home, it can feel like their bodies are breaking down, and they are trying to escape the confines of the city they are in. The song then takes an emotional turn, with the singer saying goodbye to close friends, feeling uncertain about when they will see them again.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of music as a mode of communication, with the singer saying that they know a few chords that could make the listener miss them. The garage, where these chords are strummed, becomes a symbol of the difficulties of trying to figure out the rhythm and beat of life. The lyrics also hint at the idea of change and moving on, with the singer urging the listener to take down their pictures and pack their belongings, suggesting that they need to let go of their past to move forward in life.
In the chorus, the lyrics become more emotional, with the singer saying that if the listener's arms become smoke, then they will have nothing left to hold. This line is a powerful metaphor for the idea that if the listener becomes distant or changes, then the singer will lose their connection to them. Overall, the song portrays the complexities of finding a sense of belonging and connection in life, and the emotions that come with change and loss.

@lifeshorts1928
I love the vocals :) regular humans go through difficult struggles, so I like to hear regular people singing.
@Bhetacarn
Wow, the instruments give me a "explosions in the sky" feel, with a emo vibe that is vibrating through out the song.
@KevinBurke88
definitely 'heavily influenced' by explosions in the sky with the 'didididi doo doo' guitar bit
@Scream1822
Exactly
@BenCostello-BJC
My thought was this is Modest Mouse multiplied by Cursive and it’s fucking great. If you like this check out Special Explosion on the same label. So good… and Foxing too.
