Gotye- Hearts A Mess
Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
You can't live like this
You have lost
(Too much love)
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don't get burned
('Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see
Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love
You heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
You heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt of you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don't wanna waste my love

It signifies imprisonment or being controlled. The second one is a broken stork. It signifies abortion and impotence. The third one is a woodcutter in a jungle full of eyes. It signifies that the woodcutter is lost in the jungle full of eyes which are judgmental people. The eyes that are always looking at you, making you feel down. The fourth one is a crane knocking houses down. It signifies anger and depression. The fifth one is a 'victim' on an ice, trying to row to shore. It signifies hopelessness, trying to reach out to someone for help. The sixth one is a ghost appearing out of grave. It signifies death of a loved one. As they continue, they climbed onto each other and flew into space. This means relieving the person from all the six sufferings. The spider closed the heart with a drape signifying a new start, a new beginning. So Gotye, leads the six sufferings out of the person's heart, creating a new beginning for him/her.
