Almost Forgot My Broken Heart Lyrics
Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind,
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again
Every little key unlocks the door,
Every little secret has a lie
Trying to take a picture of the sun
It won't help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
Every single feeling tells me this is leading to a heart
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again...
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind,
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again
Every little secret has a lie
Trying to take a picture of the sun
It won't help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
In broken little pieces and you know I need this
Like a hole in the head
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again...

It's about how when a relationship ends and for a while, you try to move on from it and for a while, you succeed. Then, out of the blue, you see or hear something that reminds you of the ex-lover (i.e., a song from a musician/band they like is playing on the radio, or you read the newspaper and find them or a relative of theirs on the page you're reading. Then, everything goes back to them, and you remember everything that happened in the relationship when you and they were together. I thought I was over my ex-boyfriend until I heard songs from Aerosmith and Jason Aldean on the radio, and I also saw obituaries of his dead relatives in the newspaper, and I thought he would flip out when the reporter put his birth name on the survivor list because he hated it when I called him that. I now have those obituaries and an article about his grandmother stashed somewhere in my house.
I think its about remembering how tough it is to give your heart to someone, then ultimately break up. Then when you meet someone else, you are a little bitter and more careful about falling in love.

he is getting back with the same woman that broke his heart the first time around.
The lyric video for this is pretty awesome. It's nice to see some artistry put into the effort, something that expands the imaginative possibilities rather than limits them.
Took me a moment to understand. This is the wrong song title (it's NEARLY Forgot My Broken Heart).

I believe that the theme here in the song is Eternal Recurrence, as best as I can understand the concept as I've read it. The idea of themes that play again and again throughout our lives. Not just behavioral, but in actual circumstance of environment. This seems (to me) to be a subject touched on by many artists. (Cindy Lauper - Time After Time?)

The Seinfeld Snickers Bar episode (well, kind of the whole show, but this episode in particular) is an illustration of this concept, I think. When, without any seeming relationship to any other incident in the show, everyone begins eating their Snickers Bars with forks, something marveled at by the main characters. Something you can observe happening around you over and over again, each thing with no immediately apparent relationship to the other very similar occurrence.
When it happens too often to just be called "coincidence", but you can't find a causal relationship, what do you call it?
