Heart For Brains
ROAR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Heart for brains you should have known
Take a seat with the weak but stand up for me
Mercilessly slaughtering
When the sick feed the strong, the pack marches on

Life's hard when you're soft but you've got our love

Shit for brains you're living proof

That it pays to be hard on those around you
But the wolves who guard their wounds
Hide their limps and their health are all eaten too

Life's hard when you're soft but you've got our love


Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Heart For Brains" by ROAR seem to be discussing the idea of strength versus weakness and how it can impact one's place in society. The line "Heart for brains you should have known" suggests that having a kind heart can often lead to being taken advantage of or not being respected in a harsh world. The next line, "Take a seat with the weak but stand up for me" seems to imply that even those who are considered weak can still have value and can stand up for those they care about.


The line "Mercilessly slaughtering" is quite intense and seems to suggest that those who are strong and ruthless can often succeed in life. The final line, "When the sick feed the strong, the pack marches on" reinforces this idea that those who are strong will continue to thrive even at the expense of those who are weaker.


The second verse continues with this theme of strength and weakness, with the line "Shit for brains you're living proof" implying that being unkind or cruel can often lead to success. However, the following line, "But the wolves who guard their wounds" suggests that even those who appear strong and invincible may have vulnerabilities that they conceal.


Overall, "Heart For Brains" seems to be a commentary on the idea that life can be difficult and that strength is often valued over weakness, but there is still value in kindness and caring for others.
