Failing to grasp the teaching of Christ, taking all for grunted, a man toys with Marx, he stumbles through life lacking convictions but hiding under mask of pretension and cliches. Great song and disturbing video, both in symphony however is manifestation of our lost age. There is one last escape available–a 0.303-inch calibre rifle! He has no satisfaction in work, personal life, his trades, or his lover. But they looked stellar on the outside, so he continued to play the part of the ‘boyfriend.’ In this entrapment of ‘love,’ Leonard Cohen now suffers. Leonard Cohen sings of a woman he was with, in “Happens to the Heart.” He knew she was trouble and they were not meant to be in love. Every struggle we face takes a toll on our soul “it left an ugly mark.” In events that follow in his life, the singer questions ‘what happens to the heart?’ In his troublesome escapades, in his ugly trades, in the prison and within the loose women he associated, he probably witnessed a little part of his heart dying away. He only witnessed his flicker of light diminish. But none of these helped him achieve greatness. He thought he was becoming whole by reading The Bible and Carl Marx. He worked his whole life until he drove himself crazy over it. ![]() The song describes the events in the life of a man. ![]()
