Heartwork Lyrics

Cover art for Heartwork lyrics by Carcass

Here's what this song means to ME! And its not up for debate..... It's about taking a dead body apart and using the remains for something pretty or artistic like....A CARCASS ALBUM! No, seriously though. To make art. To put animation from the remains that pollute the world when we die. What better way to bastardise a dead body then to use it for art. Actually, there is some reality to this observation of mine. There exists a museum in Europe (somewhere) where the dead are peeled apart and displayed. It's more of an education museum. But the remains of the people are REAL, and many of pieces are COMPLETE in that skin is the only thing missing. IN fact, there are muscle only pieces and bone only, etc. Carcass was nice enough to bring it to our stereo's in a way quite different, yet similar. So the meaning of the song? There's some beauty in death. And if theres none, there CAN be.
