My Heart
Way & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There were so many noisy clock turns
Anyone and no one
Heβs no one, Anyone
In their arms the greatest gift of all
Lettie and Luthien so proud
Anyone and no one
Heβs no one, Anyone
Who gets to choose? Whatβs to come?
Are we doomed to recreate the mistakes of the past?
Like pawns in a cosmic chess
You make your plans thinking youβre in control
How foolish we are, how foolish of us
Is our destination done while we sleep?
Or do we sleep while we make our plans?
You build your life safely, like castles on the sand...
Being accepted is the daydream of every boy
The outsider loses himself just to fit
What is going to be? My life is not what it seems to be
Outside of reality
My foolish heart still forgives
Love is a simple reason for everything to go wrong
He would do anything just to feel
What is going to be? My life is not what it seems to be
Outside of reality
My foolish heart still forgives
I canβt lose
My force of Will
I will try
To hold back my cry
I canβt lose my hope
Just let me scream
I canβt lose my hope
The lyrics of "My Heart" by Way & Beyond explore themes of identity, choice, control, and the complexities of love. The song begins by emphasizing the immense joy that the singers feel, as symbolized by "the greatest gift of all" being in their arms. However, amidst this happiness, there is a sense of uncertainty and ambiguity in the lines "Anyone and no one, He's no one, Anyone." These lines suggest a struggle with one's sense of self and the difficulty of defining one's identity.
The chorus introduces questions about choice, destiny, and the possibility of repeating past mistakes. The lyrics imply that individuals often believe themselves to be in control of their lives, making plans and shaping their own destinies, but in reality, they may be mere pawns in a larger cosmic game. The lines "How foolish we are, how foolish of us, Is our destination done while we sleep? Or do we sleep while we make our plans?" highlight the uncertainty of the future and the potential illusion of control.
The verse following the chorus delves into the desire for acceptance and the struggle of fitting in. The lyrics mention that being accepted is a daydream for every boy, suggesting a longing to be a part of something, to belong. The outsider, however, loses their sense of self in order to fit in, illustrating the sacrifices made to conform to societal expectations.
The song then moves into a reflection on love and its complexities. Love is portrayed as a simple reason for everything to go wrong, perhaps hinting at the vulnerability and risks involved in opening oneself up to love. Despite the challenges and uncertainty, the heart still forgives, emphasizing the enduring nature of love and its ability to transcend the flaws and mistakes of individuals.
The final lines express a determination to hold on to hope and resilience, refusing to lose one's sense of self and giving in to despair. There is a plea to be allowed to scream and release the pent-up emotions, highlighting the strength and determination to keep pushing forward.
Overall, "My Heart" explores themes of identity, choice, control, and love, presenting a complex and introspective perspective on these subjects.
