Discover the story of the song > Epitaph for My Heart – Magnetic Fields

The song talks about a broken heart, which the protagonist compares to an electronic device with a warning label. He blames Cupid for causing too much pain and says that his heart is gone forever. He wonders who will care when his heart is gone and if anyone will turn his pain into a popular song. The song ends with a repetition of life and death moving on without the protagonist's partner who is no longer his friend.
