your heartbeat's way of reminding you the body keeps its own loud time
means Pulsating or beating with a strong, rhythmic, often painful intensity — the way a wound, a headache, or an excited heart announces itself.
from From the verb 'throb,' which surfaced in late Middle English, probably as an imitative word — its very sound mimicking the dull, repeated beat it names, much like 'thump' or 'throb's' close kin 'throe.' The '-bb-' lends it that heavy, recurring pulse. Its exact birth is unrecorded, but it seems to have been born from the mouth trying to copy the heart.
