Verse 1

When I keep quiet

Verse 2

I want to say so much

Say way more

Verse 2

Than it seems

That's who I am

But when I keep quiet

That doesn't mean

That I don't listen to

What you really think

Okay, I know

Sometimes I'm too inattentive

You do your best

I forget to give another compliment

While you're the sweetest!

But when you look at me

You don't just see

Just a man of stone inside

On the outside I seem tough

But just poke through it

And let it hurt in my man's heart

When I talk

I want to say so much

I say way more than it really seems

And when I talk

That means

That I'm not listening

'Cause I can't do anything at the same time

And I know

Sometimes I don't hear what you say

You've got the floor

I forget again to give you my attention

While you're the sweetest!

But when you look at me

You don't just see

Just a man of stone inside

On the outside I seem tough

But just poke through it

And let it hurt in my man's heart

The man I am now

The man I want to be

A boy and a bloke

I'll stay both!

But when you look at me

You don't just see

Just a man of stone inside

On the outside I seem tough

But poke through it and let it hurt

Hurt

But when you look at me

You don't just see

Just a man of stone inside

Nothing is what it seems

So don't get confused and just find yourself

In my man's heart

SONG MEANING

Ever wondered what is hidden behind a so-called tough guy’s poker face? "Mannenharten" lets us sneak past the armor and straight into a man’s beating heart. BLØF and Nielson sing about a guy who looks solid as stone, yet inside he is flooded with words, doubts, and affection he rarely manages to show. He forgets compliments, misses cues, and can’t multitask feelings and conversation at the same time, but none of that means he is cold. The song is his plea: please look deeper, pierce the shell, and you will find a tender heart that aches, loves, and wants to grow.

Behind the catchy chorus lies a universal message. Men, women, everyone carries a mix of childlike insecurity and grown-up bravado. "Mannenharten" reminds us that appearances deceive, real strength is vulnerability, and love begins when we truly listen to each other’s hidden words. Grab your headphones, tap your foot, and let this Dutch pop anthem teach you a little more about courage, compassion, and the secret language of the heart.
