Battered, Black & Blue (Hole in My Heart) Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah

[Verse 1]
I've got a bone to pick with happiness
My DNA is open for review
I've got a bone to pick with suffering
My DNA is battered, black and blue

[Chorus]
I've got a hole in my heart, hole in my heart
Now you see right through
The hole in my heart, hole in my heart
Shoot your arrow through
The hole in my heart, hole in my heart
I can you see you too

[Verse 2]
I got a bone to pick with jealousy
My tendency is never-ending, ah
I got a bone to pick with jealousy
My fantasy is never, never, ah

[Chorus]
I've got a hole in my heart, hole in my heart
Now you see right through
The hole in my heart, hole in my heart
Shoot your arrow through
The hole in my heart, hole in my heart
I can you see you too
[Verse 3]
You see, I'm battered, black and blue
Come on, come on and fix me
I'm battered, black and blue
Come on, come on, fix me

[Chorus]
Hole in my heart, hole in my heart
Now you see right through
The hole in my heart, hole in my heart
Shoot your arrow through
The hole in my heart, hole in my heart

[Post-Chorus]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Bridge]
Shoot your arrow through my heart
Shoot your arrow right through
Shoot your arrow right through
There's a hole in my heart
Shoot your arrow through my heart
Shoot your arrow right through
Shoot your arrow right through
There's a hole in my heart
Shoot your arrow through my heart
Shoot your arrow right through
Shoot your arrow right through
There's a hole in my heart
Shoot your arrow through my heart
Shoot your arrow right through
Shoot your arrow right through
There's a hole in my heart
[Outro]
Now you see right through
Shoot your arrow through

Genius Answer

That is an examination of myself taken from an out-of-body experience—looking at myself from a distance, and admitting that I felt really heartbroken about what I’d been through with the fire. At the same time, it’s just admitting and being transparent about the fact that I felt broken in a lot of ways. – Aaron Bruno
