I get so get so distracted
By some peoples reactions
That I don't see my own faults
For what they are
For what they are
at times so self destructive
With no intent or warning
But behind this emotion
There's a sensible heart
A sensible heart
I'm no king, I wear no crown
But desperate times seem over now
Yet still I weaken somehow
And it tears me apart
It tears me apart
well I hope to learn as time goes by
That I should trust what's deep inside
Burning bright, oh burning bright
My sensible heart
my sensible heart
My sensible heart
My sensible heart
By some peoples reactions
That I don't see my own faults
For what they are
For what they are
at times so self destructive
With no intent or warning
But behind this emotion
There's a sensible heart
A sensible heart
I'm no king, I wear no crown
But desperate times seem over now
Yet still I weaken somehow
And it tears me apart
It tears me apart
well I hope to learn as time goes by
That I should trust what's deep inside
Burning bright, oh burning bright
My sensible heart
my sensible heart
My sensible heart
My sensible heart

All I've got is this shite live version, which would sound amazing if this douchebag wasn't screaming "YEAHHH!" the whole damn song.
I'd appreciate it if you can send it to me; bongs_not_bombs@hotmail.com - msn

"At times so self destructive
With no intent or MOTIVE
But behind this emotion
Is my sensible heart"
I feel there is a big difference between the line being "warning" and "motive"...That line is one of my favourites. IMO, I think it means that sometimes he acts self destructive - getting drunk? doing things that would be viewed as wrong or bad? Or like, just feeling depressed and sad for no real reason. There is no real intent or motive for doing whatever this self destructive act is, he just does it...but behind it all is his senseible heart, he just can't find it sometimes.
the first verse is focused around his initial blindness. he states that he's more worried about others, rather than taking him for himself. this means he's not taking enough time to recognize his flaws.
the second verse discusses his impulsive actions, negative actions. he's saying there's no rhyme or reason for them and they hurt him. despite this, he's feels he has enough common sense to guide him, a "sensible heart".
the third verse is stating how he's just the average man, and even when he's not in feeling low, sometimes he slips, probably because he's just used to it. the end, "it tears me apart", is his realization that he has these faults and they're only dragging him backwards, diminishing any progress he's made.
the fourth and final verse is acceptance. he's willing to make changes and whatnot. the only way he can do so is by following his instints.
there's my take on it. pretty general, but then again, i think this can apply to a lot of things.
I believe its "with no intent or *motive."
I believe its "with no intent or *motive."
the first verse i interpret as that he sees the way people are or go about their lives or deal with situations or react to things. and dallas sees this and gets so caught up in how people wrongfully do things he doesnt see or realize he's maybe just as bad as they are. and the second part of the verse hes saying that he has a bad temper or hes somewhat of a time bomb at times but despite those flaws underneath it hes a sensible person and thats the person alot of people dont see.
the second verse i think hes saying that hes no king. basically saying hes not a person of great importance or with huge problems like a king might deal with. but despite not having to deal with those problems and just being a normal person he still weakens over small things and it really gets to him. the last part of the verse hes simply stating that he just hopes one day he can finally trust himself and whats inside him to finally let everyone see his true self.. his sensible heart i guess you can say.
