“My Clockwork Heart” is a gothic hard rock song that explores the existential struggle of a man with a mechanical heart. Torn between his mechanical nature and his yearning for humanity, he searches for meaning, emotion, and connection. With dark, melancholic undertones and dramatic instrumentation, the song delves into themes of identity, longing, and the tension between cold precision and heartfelt desire.
Lyrics:
Verse:
In the stillness of the midnight glow
A heart beats not with blood but steel
Each ticking second sings a hollow tone
Bound by gears, I’m taught to feel
The rhythm perfect, yet so cold
A shadow yearning to be whole
Pre-Chorus:
What is a soul, if not a spark of fire
Lost in the churning wheels of my desire?
Chorus:
I hear the hum of clockwork chains
A symphony of timeless pain
Each turn of cogs, a fleeting chance
To feel the warmth of circumstance
But I am bound, a hollow frame
A soul unknown, a borrowed name
Yet still, I seek the beating art—
The life beyond my clockwork heart
Verse:
Through shadowed halls, I trace the void
A labyrinth of glass and steel
The whispers of the past destroyed
Yet echoes teach me how to heal
Their stories linger, faint but true
A glimpse of love I never knew
Pre-Chorus:
Can gears rewind what time has torn apart
Or build the flesh to cradle this heart?
Chorus:
I hear the hum of clockwork chains
A symphony of timeless pain
Each turn of cogs, a fleeting chance
To feel the warmth of circumstance
But I am bound, a hollow frame
A soul unknown, a borrowed name
Yet still, I seek the beating art—
The life beyond my clockwork heart
Bridge:
The stars align, yet I still break
Each dream I touch feels false, opaque
If flesh is fleeting, why pursue?
But what is left if not the truth?
A heart of metal, still I ache
Chorus (Extended):
I hear the hum of clockwork chains
A symphony of timeless pain
Each turn of cogs, a fleeting chance
To feel the warmth of circumstance
But I am bound, a hollow frame
A soul unknown, a borrowed name
Yet still, I seek the beating art—
The life beyond my clockwork heart
What stirs within, a spark divine
A life that’s meant to intertwine
Outro Chorus (Variant):
I hear the hum of clockwork chains
Each echo tethered to my veins
Yet still I seek the beating art
The life beyond my clockwork heart
If dreams are all I’ll ever know
Let them shine bright before they go
