Heart Racing (feat. Kanii & Nimstarr)

Riovaz's song 'Heart Racing,' featuring Kanii and Nimstarr, delves into the tumultuous emotions of a love that feels unreciprocated and uncertain. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner feels neglected and unsure of the other's true feelings. The repetition of phrases like 'You say that you need me, but I don't feel it now' and 'You said that you would see me, but you're not coming 'round' highlights the frustration and disappointment of unmet expectations. This sense of longing and confusion is a central theme throughout the song.

The chorus, 'Cause you're the reason my heart's racing, don't know why, but I'll keep chasing,' captures the paradox of being drawn to someone who causes emotional turmoil. Despite the lies and games, the protagonist finds themselves unable to let go, driven by a mix of hope and desperation. This emotional conflict is further emphasized by lines like 'I'm tired of your lies, I'm through with all your games, I'm done with this disguise, I'll never be the same,' which suggest a breaking point where the protagonist recognizes the need for change but struggles to move on.

The song also touches on themes of self-doubt and the search for validation. Lines like 'Speak your mind up, oh, baby, tell me what you like, you say I drive you crazy, unlike the other guys' reveal a desire for reassurance and a fear of not being enough. The repeated plea for the partner to 'come and say you love me' and 'tell me that you trust me' underscores the need for clear communication and genuine connection. Ultimately, 'Heart Racing' is a poignant exploration of the highs and lows of love, capturing the intense emotions that come with feeling both deeply connected and painfully distant from someone you care about.
