Metronome Heart

by Sunflower Summit, Lace & Grit

/

about

In a nutshell, Metronome Heart is about disillusionment. That moment when it's largely evident that the colors in your life have deadened, have facade has fallen apart and the truth stares you starkly in the face. The breath has been knocked out of you a little bit, and life is just boring. As the song continues though, the listener moves through this temporary moment in time to redefine color and light through the mundane, to find the lessons and gratitude in life's lows and honor them, be forgiving and loving towards them. It's a subtle kind of empowerment that builds to the ending moment - enjoying the simplicity of cold coffee and a beating heart.

lyrics

The coffee’s gone cold
The sun’s lost its hold
On me
My metronome heart
Misses a tick, tick, toc
Tic, tic, toc

Rumbling sound
Spinning around, and around
And

The lines are blurring
Escaping and swirling
Starry night move through me
Bright lights you push me

Open hands trying
Catch the tears as they’re falling
Delicate, unnerving
They drip drip drop
Drip drip drop

Rumbling sound
Spinning around, and around
And

The lines are blurring
Escaping and swirling
Starry night move through me
Bright lights you push me

The coffee’s gone cold
The sun’s lost its hold
The coffee’s gone cold
The sun’s lost its hold

I am grateful for the night,
Moon shining time after time
despite it all
I am grateful for the fall

The coffee’s gone cold
The sun’s lost its hold
On me
My metronome heart
Misses a tick, tick, toc
Tic, tic, toc
Tic, tic, toc
Tic, tic, toc
