Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what's the same
I don't know
my chest beats like a drum
will the hammer come down?
I reach out
you just shout
you don't know
will we ever come out?
All I knew was life... before
then I walked out our front door
All along and here for the second wind
will tell you that someone... loves
And I know that this somethin
feels real
oooooooooooooopen your heart
All I knew was life... before
then I walked out our front door
ooooooo it's so hard to keep
when love, it cuts you so deep
open your heart to me
The lyrics of "Open Your Heart" by Axwell & Dirty South feat. Rudy explore the complexities of relationships and the struggle to keep the love alive.

The description of the chest beating like a drum and the possibility of the hammer coming down evoke feelings of anxiety and fear.

Can't hold on much longer
(But I will never let go!)
I know it's a one-way track
(Tell me now how long this'll last!)
I'm not gonna think this way
(Nor will I count on others!)
Close my eyes and feel it burn
(Now I see what I've gotta do!)
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright!

Listening in 2024. The golden generation of electronic music in my opinion. Yes, a randomer from the internets opinion. But you agree too.
