| Stars – Dead Hearts Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
For me this song is about two current lovers talking about their first true love/crushes, and how they still care for them deeply. Tell me everything that happened Tell me everything you saw They had light inside their eyes --------------------------------- The boy asks her to tell him everything about the person she loved, what they saw in them, etc. She replys that they had an inner fire, a passion that she loved. --------------------------------- Did you see the closing window? Did you hear the slamming door? They moved forward, my heart died --------------------------------- The boy asks if she saw the breakup coming, did she realize that it was going to end. She says that after they left her, her heart was broken and died. --------------------------------- Oh please tell me what they looked like Did they seem afraid of you? They were kids that I once knew --------------------------------------- The boy wants to know more about the other person, what they looked like, if they were afraid of a committed relationship. --------------------------------------- I could say it but you wont believe me You say you do but you don't deceive me It's hard to know they're out there It's hard to know that you still care --------------------------------------- He could tell her that he loves her and will always be there for her, but her heart has already been broken by someone who had said the same thing, and doesn't believe him. She can say that she truly loves him, and is over the former lover, but she still cares for her first love. It's hard to live with the fact that a person you love is living a life, but not with you, and that you will always love them. --------------------------------------- I could say it but you wont believe me You say you do but you don't deceive me Dead hearts are everywhere Did you touch them? Did you hold them? Did they follow you to town? They make me feel I'm falling down -------------------------------------- The boy asks how intimate they got, did he follow her around and spend a lot of time with her. She says she got the rush you feel when you're with someone you love, the dizzying almost dreamlike feeling. -------------------------------------- Was there one you saw too clearly? Did they seem too real to you? ------------------------------------- When you have a crush and keep your distance you tend to idealize them instead of finding out who they really are, so when you finally start to get to know them, those ideals fall short and you stop loving them. ------------------------------------- They were kids that I once knew Now they're all dead hearts to you. |
