Black Heart Inertia is the 1st track on Incubus' greatest hits compilation album, Monuments and Melodies. This was the first single released prior to the album’s release in June 2009.
This song is about someone who has been dragged down by troubles in his life, and has had a hard time in love, met...
[Verse 1]
Walking alone tonight
Because I've only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It's all we know how to do
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia
I want a human being
[Pre-Chorus]
Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think
[Chorus]
You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
[Verse 2]
Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance
Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go
[Pre-Chorus]
Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think
[Chorus]
You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire, and I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
[Bridge]
Send it away
Send it away
[Chorus]
You're a mountain that I'd like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You're a bonfire, and I'm gathered 'round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
[Outro]
Set it aflame, send it away
