Exploring themes of nostalgia, loss, and emotional vulnerability, this poignant ballad delves into the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics reflect on a past relationship that was once strong like 'brothers', but now seems to be drifting apart. The repeated line "I'm running out of heart today" suggests an emotional exhaustion, a sense of giving up after trying hard to hold onto the bond. The reference to a 'terracotta heart' is particularly significant as it symbolizes something fragile and easily broken, possibly referring to the narrator's emotional state. The uncertainty expressed in the lines "I don't know if I'm losing you again" captures the fear and anxiety associated with the potential end of a cherished relationship.
My Terracotta Heart
Lyrics
And the bright rings we got in summertime
Seemed like a breath of fresh air back in the summertime
When we were more like brothers, that was years ago
So if it doesn't sing like a broken chord
I'm running out of heart today
I'm running out of open road to you
When I know you are emoting and you're dazed
Is something broke inside you, 'cause at the moment
I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
And when we fly tomorrow over the Java seas
And my younger match will be there with me
'Cause they remind me of swimming out too far one day
When the coral was gone, but I didn't care anyway
I was running out of heart that day
I was running out of open road to you
And I know I was emoted, I was dazed
Is something broke inside me, 'cause at the moment
I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
I'm running out of heartache
Just sitting out the constant doubt in my day
But I don't know what it is
I'm sweating out the toxins
Is my terracotta heart breaking?
I don't know
If I'm losing you
If I'm losing you again
