Child-Heart Losers Lyrics
There's a child heart in the child
There's a child heart in the child
There's a child heart in the child
Living wild oh
La la la la la
Fire makes it go
And you were pretty before you knew
And you were pretty before you knew
And you were pretty before you knew it oh
La la la la now
Fire makes you go
All a diamond is is good timing
All a diamond is is good timing
All good diamonds are uncut diamonds, oh
La la la la la
Fire makes it so cold to the eye
Who lets that take place?
Where'd you learn to stage dive with such grace
Indescribable face
What do you stay beautiful for?
And don't you worry about the floor
And...
Why so many many many many many violins?
Why so many many many many many violins?
There's a child heart in the child
There's a child heart in the child
Living wild oh
La la la la la
Fire makes it go
And you were pretty before you knew
And you were pretty before you knew it oh
La la la la now
Fire makes you go
All a diamond is is good timing
All good diamonds are uncut diamonds, oh
La la la la la
Fire makes it so cold to the eye
Indescribable face
What do you stay beautiful for?
And don't you worry about the floor
Why so many many many many many violins?
Why so many many many many many violins?

i think he says all GOOD diamonds are uncut diamonds
and also who lets that take place not lets let that take place
fuck i love this song
Seems pretty clear this song is about the beauty of being young and without much self-awareness. A diamond is only beautiful before its cut. And about the violins, I don't know exactly, but there are several references to there being a lot of violins throughout this album. In "Taming of the Hands" for instance he says "Do you think this part has too many violins?" Its like he's aware of there being something a little artificial in his music making process. Just like life becomes increasingly artificial and self-aware as one grows older.
{What does this song mean to you?} alot.
{ even more }
this song is amazing.
I think it's about how after learning you're living to be alive.
*learning, you're
Also, I think "Why so many many many many many violins?" may be something about the complexity and almost maximalism of the music, like self-mockery...
I think this is the amazing conclusion to the 'acting' motif thats apparent throughout Random Spirit Lover
It's about aging, appearances, suicide, individualism, marriage, innocence, god, fate.
I'm not sure, but I think it could also be in a literal sense the same woman from 'The Taming Of The Hands That Came Back To Life' which I don't think is Maggie from other songs.
