Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart
by
Chris Cornell
This poignant piece reflects on the cyclical nature of heartache and healing. The lyrics delve into the pain of a failed relationship, with the protagonist repeatedly being drawn back to memories of his past love despite trying to move forward. The metaphorical references to bleeding hearts and blinding suns underscore the intensity of his emotional turmoil. However, amid this despair, he momentarily forgets his pain, suggesting fleeting moments of respite or distraction. Yet, these are short-lived as he finds himself going 'round again', indicating an ongoing struggle with his heartbreak. This song serves as a reminder that healing is not linear and often involves revisiting past hurts before one can truly move on. #CyclicalHeartache #HealingIsNotLinear
