Discover the story of the song > Clockwork Heart – Abney Park

The protagonist in these lyrics is asking a doctor for help because they are in love with someone who doesn't love them back. They feel desperate and sad whenever they see this person. The person they love pretends to still love them, but deep down they don't. The protagonist feels like they need to take their heart out of their chest and replace it with a clockwork heart, so they will never feel love again. They are begging the doctor to make them feel better and to help them stop feeling this way.
