Heartbeats
Versant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We never feel whats left behind
But, when we do, its unbearable
Caught in-between the brush and the road
you're giving up on paradise,
and when you do its unbearable
It took a closed eye to move on
Don't you turn around
It was your wish I would be gone
I knew something was on the way,
Cause I kept feeling you turn away
Heartbeats never fade, they just go
We never feel whats left behind
But, when we do, its unbearable
Caught in-between the brush and the road
you're giving up on paradise,
and when you do its unbearable
Someone understood,
and they were frozen under their own
No one came around
And what was broken now is alone
I knew something was on the way,
Cause I kept feeling you turn away
Heartbeats never fade, they just go
We never feel whats left behind
But, when we do, it's unbearable
Caught in-between the brush and the road
you're giving up on paradise,
and when you do its unbearable
So you leave me here
Are you proud of this?
Hoped I'd disappear
I believe you don't know
Had a little time, couldn't wait it out
So you let it go, even when you don't know
The lyrics to Versant's song Heartbeats express the concept of the lingering effects of consequences and how they can become unbearable when faced. The refrain, "Heartbeats never fade, they just go, We never feel what's left behind, But when we do, it's unbearable," emphasizes the idea that every action has a reaction, and the consequences of those actions can be felt even when they are not immediately apparent. The song discusses the pain of missed opportunities and the struggle of being caught between the "brush and the road" - the unknown and the familiar.
The second verse acknowledges the feeling of invisibility and the difficulty of moving on. The lines "I knew something was on the way, 'Cause I kept feeling you turn away" suggest that the singer was aware of the eventual outcome but could not prevent it. The song also explores the theme of isolation and abandonment, with lines like "And what was broken now is alone."
The bridge of the song shifts to a more personal tone, addressing someone who left the singer and expressing feelings of hurt and betrayal. The lyrics "So you leave me here, Are you proud of this? Hoped I'd disappear, I believe you don't know" convey a sense of abandonment and disbelief. Ultimately, the song is about the lingering effects of our choices, the pain of missed opportunities, and the difficulty of moving on.
Line by Line Meaning
Heartbeats never fade, they just go
The emotions we feel for someone never truly disappear, they just gradually become less intense and more distant with time
We never feel what's left behind
We often don't fully appreciate what we have until it's gone and we're left with the void it left behind
But, when we do, its unbearable
When we finally realize what we've lost, the regret and pain are almost too much to bear
Caught in-between the brush and the road
Faced with a difficult decision or situation, feeling stuck and unsure which path to take
You're giving up on paradise, and when you do its unbearable
Choosing to give up on something you once dreamed of or hoped for can be heartbreaking and overwhelming
You're invisible
Feeling unnoticed and overlooked, as if you don't matter or exist to others
It took a closed eye to move on
Sometimes, in order to move on from something painful, we need to shut ourselves off emotionally and block out our feelings
Don't you turn around
Don't go back to what you left behind or try to recapture the past, since it may cause more harm than good
It was your wish I would be gone
The other person wanted to end the relationship or connection, and doesn't want things to be the way that they were
I knew something was on the way, Cause I kept feeling you turn away
There were signs that the other person was emotionally distancing themselves or preparing to leave, and the artist sensed it
Someone understood, and they were frozen under their own
Another person was aware of what was happening but didn't know how to intervene or help make things better
No one came around, And what was broken now is alone
There was no one to offer support or comfort during the aftermath of a painful experience or loss, leaving the artist feeling isolated and alone
So you leave me here, Are you proud of this?
The other person abandoned the singer and left them to deal with the pain and suffering on their own, leaving the singer feeling hurt and abandoned
Hoped I'd disappear, I believe you don't know
The other person wished the singer would go away and not be a part of their life, but the singer doubts the other person fully understands the impact of their actions
Had a little time, couldn't wait it out, So you let it go, even when you don't know
The other person gave up on the relationship or situation prematurely, without fully exploring their feelings or giving things a chance to work out

her voice is haunting in a beautiful way. I only hope STG won't EVER let her go again. STG has an amazing, unique sound and with Carah and Chad's voice, it's mind blowing. I don't think music can get any better than that. Don't get me wrong, Versant is amazing as well.

This is more than rock. It's ethereal and raw at the same time. I can't get it out of my head and I've been listening 3 days straight to the only 4 songs I can find ;-)

The whole EP is the story of STG kicking her out, and this song in particular, I think, is her message to Jeremy about it.

Actually very good! Personally I'm not down with the swing feeling on "When you're gone..." but part from that, 10 thumbs up!
