Heartbeat
Vérité Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To remind me what we are
Dim romantic sparks, we all fall down
So we can all cover our eyes
From explosions in the skies
Can you feel them burning?
Can't you feel the earth tilt?
Can you feel my heartbeat?
Pounding into nothing
Broken bones are floating
in my empty body
Can you feel it reaching?
Moving through the feeling
Won't you bring me down?
Won't you bring me down to size
Dark distant remarks are calling
To remind me what we are
Something I can't handle most of the time
And I know it's a surprise
How tall I stand sometimes
But I've written my goodbye on a folded napkin
Slipped inside your pocket
Before you left me standing
I knew you weren't listening
Can you feel my HEARTBEAT?
Pounding into nothing
Broken bones are floating in my empty body
Can you feel it reaching?
Moving through the feeling
Won't you bring me down?
Won't you bring me down to size
The lyrics of Vérité's song "Heartbeat" depict a feeling of longing for connection and understanding in the midst of a chaotic and uncertain world. The opening lines describe the pervasive sense of unease that often accompanies our attempts to make sense of our experiences. This is further emphasized in the lines "Dim romantic sparks, we all fall down / So we can all cover our eyes / From explosions in the skies", which suggest that we are constantly searching for meaning and connection but are sometimes overwhelmed by the enormity of the task.
In the chorus, the singer asks "Can you feel my heartbeat? / Pounding into nothing / Broken bones are floating in my empty body", conveying a sense of existential angst and emotional vulnerability. Despite this, there is still a sense of hope and resilience in the defiance of the lines "Won't you bring me down? / Won't you bring me down to size". Ultimately, the song is a plea for connection and understanding, a reminder that we are all searching for meaning and understanding in a world that can often feel overwhelming and chaotic.
Line by Line Meaning
Dark distant remarks are calling
Negative thoughts are consuming my mind
To remind me what we are
To show me the reality of our situation
Dim romantic sparks, we all fall down
Our doomed relationship started with small sparks but it's now coming to an end
So we can all cover our eyes
We try to hide from the truth
From explosions in the skies
From the harsh reality that is staring us in the face
Can you feel them burning?
Are you aware of the problems we're facing?
Can't you feel the earth tilt?
Can't you feel the relationship falling apart?
Can you feel my heartbeat?
Can you feel my emotions and pain?
Pounding into nothing
My emotions have no outlet
Broken bones are floating
My soul is broken
In my empty body
I feel lost and alone
Can you feel it reaching?
Can you sense my desperation?
Moving through the feeling
I'm trying to cope but it's hard
Won't you bring me down?
Can't you help me?
Won't you bring me down to size
Can't you help me feel better about myself?
Something I can't handle most of the time
There are too many problems for me to handle
And I know it's a surprise
I'm aware that my struggles are unexpected
How tall I stand sometimes
But I try to be strong
But I've written my goodbye on a folded napkin
I've accepted that this relationship is over
Slipped inside your pocket
I've left you a message of goodbye
Before you left me standing
Before you walked out of my life
I knew you weren't listening
I knew you weren't understanding my struggles

I guarantee you that changes very soon it takes a little while for people to glom onto good music and unfortunately it turns into shit most of the time like Coldplay for example they were great in the beginning now pop music crap for the massess

absolutley-I was inspired by it to try and do a house remix of it but could not get it to match some reason it is sometimes doesn't work
but it does work with a dubstep beat so we'll see. Embarrassed to admit I just learned about her today as I was looking through sample library's and she put out , and it is basically stuff she made that people use as tools to make their own music and be creative ...I like her indie style and how she doesn't sell out -well not yet at leastbut when you're offered a $20 million record deal- it's pretty hard to not sign sign your soul away.ariimahayla
