Herz über Kopf – literally Heart over Head – captures that electrifying moment when you run into someone you once loved and every logical thought gets drowned out by a flood of memories. The singer paints a late-night scene: half-empty glasses, a half-empty room, and eyes that lock with the same intensity they had in the past. Although both people know the relationship was declared “over” long ago, the atmosphere is charged with unspoken words and magnetic pull. Every time it should be easy to walk away, the heart whispers stay while the mind yells go, and the result is a paralyzing stand-still.
Joris turns this inner tug-of-war into an anthem for anyone who has ever struggled between reason and emotion. The repeated hook “Herz über Kopf” mirrors the back-and-forth inside the narrator: rationally, the train has left and time was wasted, but emotionally, the attraction feels irresistibly right. The song’s bittersweet energy reminds us how powerful nostalgia can be and how difficult it is to let go when memories keep rewinding like a favorite track you can’t stop replaying.
