A heart made of gold can't really beat at all.

True story.
So as you can see, I changed my name yet again. I find that I do that a lot. I think it's because I like change. Things different. And I really like that phrase. Though a lot of people wouldn't get it, I thought it was catchy. It's based on Switchfoot song (big surprise). In order for you to understand though, we gotta do some learnin' here.

Faust:
This is the character in The Story of Doctor Faustus. It's this doctor (obviously) that makes a deal with Satan. He trades his soul for powers. Supernatural powers. He can do anything to anyone, anytime. He's a sick, twisted guy who basically wants revenge against a lot of people who have wronged him in the past. That's a good summary. If you don't like it, go here :
Doctor Faustus.

Midas:
So, you should know the story of Midas. He is a character in the Metamorphoses book XI. What follows has been copied from SparkNotes:
Thracian women attack Orpheus with stones. Orpheus protects himself by charming the rocks with his songs. But the women drown out his music and tear his body apart. Orpheus’s shade descends to the underworld, where he joins Eurydice. Bacchus punishes the Thracian women for their crime against Orpheus by transforming them into trees. In Asia Minor, Bacchus rewards King Midas for finding Silenus by offering him a wish. Midas asks for a golden touch. Everything Midas touches turns to gold, including food and drink. He soon realizes that this gift is a curse, and Bacchus agrees to take it away. Midas witnesses a music contest between Pan and Apollo. The god of Mount Tmolous judges Apollo the winner. Everyone agrees with this decision except Midas. Apollo punishes him by giving him donkey ears and departs to Troy.
To read more, go here: King Midas.
This would help a little as well, and is also copied from SparkNotes:
Midas - The Phrygian king. Midas has a golden touch, and he is a poor literary critic. Apollo punishes him by giving him donkey ears.

So yeah, basically, the song is showing something that we suffer from as well. Faustus wanted all the power, and Midas wanted riches. At the end of both the stories though, they found that what they had was miserable, accursed, and empty. They did not get the happiness that they wanted.
Basically, the moral is, these things are all empty. If you are to aspire to them, it will be in vain. People always beg and plead for money and power. It doesn't get them anywhere though. It's shallow. The only happiness you can have is through Jesus Christ.

So that's why I like it. There's meaning, there's purpose, and there's not emptiness. I think the world is too big to be as empty as it is. That's all I have. Hope you learned a little somethin' somethin'. Later.
