Lyrics for Cheated Hearts as interpreted by scream&shake

Cheated Hearts Lyrics
Cheated by the opposite of love
Held on high and up up up above
Kept my high from the second one
Kept my eye on the first one now
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day

Well I'm take it take it take it take it taking it off
And she's take it take it take it take it taking it off
And he's take it take it take it take it taking it off
And we're take it take it take it take it taking it off

Well sometimes I think that I'm bigger than the sound
I think that I'm bigger than the sound
I think that I'm bigger than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger than the sound

She takes on high
She takes on high
She takes on high

Well sometimes I think that I'm bigger than the sound
I think that I'm bigger than the sound
I think that I'm bigger than the sound
Well I think that I'm bigger than the sound

Cheated by the opposite of love
Held on high and up up up above
Kept my high from the second one
Kept my eye on the first one now
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day

fear of commitment. The last thing I picture is Karen-O's wedding in which the dress in short ruffly and stained by beer and, well yeah.

I love this song too. It's def. my favorite so far. I've got it on repeat. Could the song possibly be about a couple who cheats on each other? I'm getting that impression from the title of the song and when she says, "Take these rings and store them safe away
I'll wear them on another rainy day."

Very radio friendly song... The next Maps? Hardly... but still a very great song.
This song is definitely about the fear of falling in love.

Maybe this song is partly about a threesome?

I agree with rocksteadyash it's about a couple cheatng on each other the verse "take this rings, store them safe away, wear them on another rainy day" it's trying to say: forget about your commitement if you want to have fun if you feel like getting bored and stuff put on your ring and don't enjoy life

okay, but how does the "bigger than the sound" part fit into any of those interpretations?

Karen's lyrics are so ambiguous?! Thats why its a good listen...She rocks...I'm glad she's out there cause she surpasses all those other chick stars...

Plus I have no idea as to what this songs means??

my favorite song on the amazing new album
and yes! i totally agree with the first couple of comments, when i first heard this song i thought it was the new Maps as well.
this song makes me feel like i can do anything, how if one relationship ends, it's not the end of my life
"Sometimes I think that I'm bigger than the sound",
is my favorite part of the entire song.
I love how she sings about rings, and taking them out on a rainy day. It made me think of the "rings" from the relationship, and how she's keeping them safe and snug until new love starts, so she can start all over when he comes along, like how the rain washes and clears everything away

Yeah I like the "up up up above" part too!

I do like the album a lot but it's not quite on the same level as "fever to tell" not much is, though.

Goin to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs tomorrow night, can't wait :)

I think its about not being able to get over someone, like say a wedding ring, and you have a divorce, you put them on just for fun because you misss that person..etc. and shes saying how shes trying to be bigger than that person, and she pretends shes over it but shes not.
