Red
the black heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this time I've learned
Change your hate cause that's your slave
Turn your head from your evil ways
Your church is red blood flows black from your heart
We build our temple one brick at a time
And the straw I steal to build your nest
I've learned
Turn your head from the evil ways
Your church is red blood flows black
And when the bells ring they'll all come to see
When the bells ring out tonight
For my wounded heart
You can paint it over cause below I know
And when the bells ring they'll all come to see
There's a fire in the fields a killer in the mirror
When the bells ring out tonight
For my change of heart
The lyrics to the Black Heart's song "Red" depict a transformative journey towards enlightenment and away from hatred. The opening lines describe the singer's arrival from the cold outside into a warm hearth. From this point, the singer has learned that the true enemy is within oneself, and that harboring hate only leads to enslavement. The repeated refrain emphasizes the importance of turning away from evil ways and changing oneself for the better.
The lines "your church is red, blood flows black from your heart" suggest that the singer has been hurt by a corrupt institution or person, represented by the color red. The concept of building a temple brick by brick implies that progress takes time and effort. The line "the straw I steal to build your nest" implies that the person or institution being criticized is lazy and relies on others to do the work for them.
The second half of the song seems to express a desire for reconciliation and healing. The bells ringing could metaphorically represent a call to action and aunity, as well as an expression of one's emotional wounds. The line "you can paint it over cause below I know" suggests that even if someone tries to hide their true nature or intentions, the singer sees through it. The concluding line "for my change of heart" implies that the singer has undergone a personal evolution and is now motivated to do and be better.

When I fell inside out of the snow and by your fire
When I was at my lowest point and sought comfort from you
In this time I've learned
During this period, I gained valuable insights
Change your hate cause that's your slave
Let go of your animosity because it imprisons you
Turn your head from your evil ways
Stop perpetuating harmful behavior
Your church is red blood flows black from your heart
Your place of worship is tainted because of the malice in your heart
We build our temple one brick at a time
We construct our sanctuary through gradual progress
And the straw I steal to build your nest
I contribute to your comfort, even though it may be at my own expense
Your church is red blood flows black
Your place of worship is corrupted and destructive
And when the bells ring they'll all come to see
When people hear the chimes, they will witness the consequences of their actions
When the bells ring out tonight
At this moment of reckoning
For my wounded heart
Due to the injury you caused me
You can paint it over cause below I know
You can try to conceal the damage, but I am aware of the truth
And when the bells ring they'll all come to see
When people hear the chimes, they will be confronted with reality
There's a fire in the fields a killer in the mirror
There is chaos and danger all around us, including within ourselves
When the bells ring out tonight
In this moment of crisis
For my change of heart
Because of my altered perception and attitude
