Heartbeat Lyrics

Heart.....Beat

Heart.....Beat

And I might be wrong
But I don't think you could sing along

To my

Heart.....Beat

Cued up the major third
But you don't know you just take my word

Heart Beat

Heart Beat

And I will a along
destroy what destroys my home

Heart Beat

I could've written more
But you dont know what to listen for

Load up the major third
But you don't know if that's what you heard

And I will alone
destroy what destorys my home

And I will alone
destroy what destorys my home

Heeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrttt BEAT

Control HEART BEAT

Control HEART BEAT

Control HEART BEAT

Control HEART BEAT

Control HEART BEAT

"And I will a along destroy what destroys my home"

I think is,

"And I will alone, destroy what destroys my own,

Heart Beat."

I haven't settled on a meaning yet but from the lines,

"And I might be wrong But I don't think you could sing along

To my

Heart.....Beat"

and

"Cued up the major third But you don't know you just take my word"

I get the impression that the song is about being misunderstood.

Very much sounds like making fun of/asking for action against the current "autotune" trend in music and the artists that are using it.

"destroy what destroys my own heartbeat"

alright, so I saw Islands last week and got to chat with Nick Diamonds afterward. I asked about Heartbeat and whether it was mocking the autotune trend (see above comment) and his response: "Not exactly...it's more or less dating our music, so to speak. Everyone's doing autotune right now, so we said why not do a song that follows the current trend. At the end of the day, it's just a special effect. Nothing else."

Whoops. I told him my reasoning and he just smiled and said he saw where i was coming from. Great guy.

Thanks, I was wondering about that myself. I think this song is all about relationships and whether or not you really know someone. I think the references to music are allusions to relationships.

I believe its "own" instead of "home" (referencing his own heartbeat), and instead of "a along"- alone.

Great song, interesting but not excessive use of autotune.

heh, i actually like the use of autotune in this =]

imo, it uses it just enough and to begin with, he doesn't need pitch correction so he actually uses it to add flavor to the mix instead of going ridiculous t-pain on it or late 90's cher....
