My Heart
When November Falls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She came in like the wind
And took me over
A southern kind of day
A wicked sun
I fell into her will
I'm on the floor now
And every time she sang
I come undone
It's my heart (heart)
It's my heart

The memories will fade
Like ghosts of summer
The way she makes me feel
Cant stay for long
And then I saw her face
The sun froze over
And every time she sang
I come undone
It's my heart (heart)
It's my heart

Can you give love?




Can you give love?
Can you give love?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "My Heart" by When November Falls showcase the emotions of the singer who falls under the spell of a woman who enters their life like a gust of wind. The setting is of a hot southern day, where the sun seems to be wicked and unforgiving. The singer feels a pull towards this woman and admits to falling under her will. Whenever she sings, the singer admits to coming undone, which indicates that her singing has a significant impact on the singer's emotions.


The memories of the time spent with this woman will fade, just like ghosts of summer. The singer realizes that the feelings he has for her cannot stay for long as they are not meant to be. The woman's face freezes the sun over, which metaphorically implies that she casts a shadow over the singer's life, and he cannot think of anything else whenever he sees her face. The repetition of "It's my heart" indicates that the singer is referring to the chest pain he's experiencing due to his strong emotional reaction to this woman.


The chorus featuring the line "Can you give love?" could mean that this woman is incapable of reciprocating the love they feel for each other. It could also imply that the singer is questioning himself whether he can give love wholly and whether he's been holding back his emotions.
