Jet Black Heart Lyrics

Everybody's got their demons
Even wide awake or dreaming
I'm the one who ends up leaving
Make it okay

See a war, I wanna fight it
See a match, I wanna strike it
Every fire I've ignited
Faded to grey

But now that I'm broken
Now that you know it
Caught up in a moment
Can you see inside?

'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again

Now I'm holding on for dear life
There's no way that we could rewind
Maybe there's nothing after midnight
That could make you stay

But now that I'm broken
And now that you know it
Caught up in a moment
Can you see inside?

'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again

The blood in my veins
Is made up of mistakes
Let's forget who we are
And dive into the dark
As we burst into color
Returning to life

'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again

The blood in my veins
Is made up of mistakes (to start again)
Let's forget who we are
And dive into the dark

What is the Meaning of Jet Black Heart?

A journey through the shadows of inner turmoil and love, this composition is a poignant ode to vulnerability. It beautifully encapsulates the struggle between personal demons and the desire for connection. The 'jet black heart' symbolizes a soul bruised by past mistakes, while the 'hurricane underneath' signifies turbulent emotions threatening to disrupt relationships. The 'poison pen' metaphorically expresses toxic actions or words that may have hurt others. Despite these challenges, an undercurrent of hope runs through - a longing to start afresh, fueled by 'chemicals moving between us'. The lyrics suggest embracing our flaws ('blood in my veins is made up of mistakes') and diving into the unknown ('dive into the dark'). It's a powerful reminder that it's never too late for redemption or reconnection, even amidst chaos and darkness.
