Cover art for Chrome Plated Heart lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

My interpretation is this i'll try to to break it down First verse: i think that the chrome plated heart means that she has a shield of protection around her heart so that she will not be hurt again and the angels crying with rust in their eyes means of a heartbreak that she continues to suffer but she has learned to leave nothing to chance "no stone unturned" and to keep standing in the face of fear,but the love is real as the day is long but the night is black indicating that it's still night so it's not real.Second verse: The two dollar stare is somebody who has a wandering eye and the midas in my touch means that everything that she touches turns to gold and that she has everything to become successful and the delilah in her hair is the one who has taken away her strength and her secrets and has brought down her self confidence but she keeps walking with this almost defiant attitude that she can overcome the heartache by meeting someone else.Third verse: The only way i know where the train will go is when i'm sleeping on the tracks this means that the only way she will know how the relationship will turn out is if she know's where she stands with her lover and the direction of where the relationship is going.

My Interpretation

The person is a hard hearted individual who doesn't understand love and takes more than they give.
