| Emilíana Torrini – Heartstopper Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's mainly about this messy relationship that she was in with a guy. The coffee symbolizes her relationship with him. Since coffee boosts a heart rate, it's kind of like how all her emotions were kind of on steroids with the guy. Then when the relationship ended it felt like her heart stopped beating because everything in life didn't affect her as much compared with the feelings she had with this guy. She's lifeless now, numb kind of, her heart has stopped working, because no emotion compares with the emotions she felt with the guy. Like perhaps she felt extreme happiness and extreme depression with him, so now even if something is supposed to make her happy or depressed she doesn't really feel it. As a result of being bitchslapped by life because of this boy she has resorted to drinking and smoking and basically city life. She goes back to him perhaps sometimes but only to make a fool of herself, and whenever someone like a neighbor tries to get through to her, no matter if if their coffee is even blacker than the ex-guy's it makes no difference to her. |
