The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Searching for a Heart" by the artist "Warren Zevon"

In "Searching for a Heart," Warren Zevon uses the metaphor of searching for a heart to convey a sense of longing, loneliness, and a desperate search for love.

The lyrical protagonist is on a constant quest, seeking love "in every встречном" (every person he encounters), which speaks to his desperation and desire to fill the void in his life. He compares love to an elusive force that "you can't start like an engine" and "you can't stop with a bullet." This suggests that love defies control and logic, coming and going by its own rules.

Phrases like "morning twilight" and "shadows on the ground" create an atmosphere of uncertainty and melancholy, reflecting the protagonist's inner state. He wanders the night, trying to "stay out of sight," emphasizing his loneliness and unwillingness to be seen in such a vulnerable state.

Despite the disappointments and setbacks, the protagonist clings to hope, repeating the phrase "they say love conquers all." He believes that sooner or later his search will be successful, and he will find his true heart.

Darkness in the morning

Shadows on the land

Certain individuals

Aren't sticking to the plan

And I'm searching for a heart

Searching everyone

They say love conquers all

You can't start it like a car

You can't stop it with a gun

Leaving in the evening

Traveling at night

Staying inconspicuous

I'm staying out of sight

And I'm searching for a heart

Searching everyone

They say love conquers all

You can't start it like a car

You can't stop it with a gun

They tell me love requires a little standing in line

And I've been waiting for you, lover, for a long, long time

I've been pacing the floor, I've been watching the door

Meanwhile I'll keep searching for a heart

Searching high and low for you

Trying to track you down

Certain individuals

Have finally come around

And I'm searching for a heart

Searching everyone

They say love conquers all

You can't start it like a car

You can't stop it with a gun

They tell me love requires a little standing in line

And I've been waiting for you, lover, for a long, long time

I've been pacing the floor I've been watching the door

Meanwhile I'll keep searching for a heart

Searching everyone

They say love conquers all

You can't start it like a car

You can't stop it with a gun

Searching for a heart

Searching for a heart
