Heartbeat

In 'Heartbeat,' Christopher delves into the profound struggle of expressing love through words. The song opens with a poignant metaphor, likening his unspoken feelings to a song that no one hears. This sets the stage for the central theme: the frustration and inadequacy of verbal communication when it comes to conveying deep emotions. The repeated lines 'All I wanna do is say I love you' and 'All I wanna do is say I care' emphasize his yearning to communicate his feelings, yet he feels that his words fall short.

The lyrics further explore this theme by comparing his situation to a stage without a crowd, where even the best performers go unappreciated. This imagery underscores the artist's sense of isolation and the futility of his efforts to be understood. The refrain 'I swear my words don't work, feeling like they have no worth' captures the essence of his frustration. He questions the value of trying to articulate his emotions when they seem to get lost in translation, highlighting the limitations of language in capturing the depth of human feelings.

Ultimately, Christopher wishes he could 'say it with a heartbeat,' suggesting that the purest form of communication transcends words. The heartbeat symbolizes an innate, universal language of love that can be felt rather than heard. This longing for a more authentic and direct way to express love resonates deeply, as it taps into a common human experience—the desire to connect on a level that words alone cannot reach. Through 'Heartbeat,' Christopher beautifully captures the ineffable nature of love and the universal struggle to communicate it effectively.
