about

For his third assignment, Scape was tasked with writing an 80s song. As such, he latched onto a very 80s metaphor and used to it write this synth-laden track.

lyrics

I got a conundrum
And I put it to you
Why won’t you just treat me kind?
The root of my problem--
Your heart’s a Rubik’s cube
I can’t make the blocks align
I turn blue to red
Then back again
What the hell—where did that
Orange come from?
I never can solve ‘em
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
It puzzles me every time

You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
I can’t make those blocks align
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart

I twist and I turn it
The colors never match
I’m going out of my mind
I swear I’ll return it
But never take it back
It’s now a matter of pride
I heard someone say
They found a way
But they just cheated and
Peeled off the stickers
I never will learn it
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
It puzzles me every time

You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
I’m going out of my mind
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
It’s a matter, a matter of pride, now
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart

This time I might get it…
This time might be the one
I’ve finished with three whole sides
No, hang on, forget it…
The red got all undone
I swear I’ve gone color blind
This Rubik guy
Is gonna die
If I get my hands on
That god damned bastard
He’s gonna regret it
Making your Rubik’s heart
It puzzles me every time

You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
It’s making me color blind now
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
I just finished, I finshed three sides
I’m telling you this time,
I finished three sides
You’ve got a Rubik’s heart
Yeah, It puzzles me every time…
