Zella Day - Ace of Hearts


Asexual Aqua

Recommended Posts

I could be completely off the mark here, but does anyone else think that "Ace of Hearts" by Zella Day is somehow related to asexuality? I've put a few possible interpretations in bold below, but they don't all seem to match up with each other. Any ideas?

Caught you at midnight
Not in my right mind
What you're afraid of (repulsed?)
Is where I just came from

An ugly confession
I think that I'm broken
When I try to be open (she's ace?)


I get the feeling that I'm giving up on something I love, too much (she's demi and breaking up with her partner?)
The sweetest misery that's taking me, I'm lost in the rush
Because

Ever since you've been my ace of hearts
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on baby take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape

We shouldn't have to try
We shouldn't have to try so hard
We shouldn't have to try
We shouldn't have to try so hard

You think you can meet me
Alone on the side street
There's darkness between us
The moon is a witness

An ugly confession
I feel so unstable
When it's out on the table

I get the feeling that I'm giving up on something I love, too much
The sweetest misery that's taking me, I'm lost in the rush
Because

Ever since you've been my ace of hearts (partner is ace?)
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on baby take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape

We shouldn't have to try
We shouldn't have to try so hard
We shouldn't have to try
We shouldn't have to try so hard (she thinks she should find sex more enjoyable than she currently does?)


Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Shouldn't have to try so hard
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Shouldn't have to try so hard

Ever since you've been my ace of hearts
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on baby take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape

We shouldn't have to try
We shouldn't have to try so hard
We shouldn't have to try
We shouldn't have to try so hard

While we don't know what the artist's specific meaning for the lyrics was (maybe there's an interview about it somewhere), most art is open to interpretation and can be meaningful to different people in different ways, so, I could definitely see this song being meaningful to someone in a "mixed" relationship with (potential) sexual incompatibilities. In general, I like the song and the lyrics, so, thanks for sharing it!
