Heaven
The Walkmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Romantic tales of distant years
Our gilded age may come and go
Our crooked dreams will always glow
Stick with me, oh you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
Remember remember
All we fight for
Remember remember
All we fight for
Don't leave me, oh you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
Don't leave me now, you're my best friend
All of my life, you've always been
Remember remember
All we fight for
Remember remember
All we fight for
Oh oh oh oh oh
Interpretation:
The song "Heaven" by The Walkmen is a poignant reflection on the passage of time, love, and loyalty. The first verse is a contemplation of the legacy of the present, with the writer acknowledging the fleeting nature of material things and the enduring power of memory. The second verse is a declaration of the unbreakable bond between two friends who have been there for each other through thick and thin. The repetition of the lines "Stick with me, oh you're my best friend/All of my life, you've always been/Don't leave me, oh you're my best friend" is a testament to the strength of the relationship.
The chorus is a call to remember what is truly important in life, all the things that people fight for, whether it be love, freedom, justice or something else. The repetition of "Remember remember" reinforces the idea that these things are worth fighting for, and need to be held onto tightly.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the enduring power of love and friendship, and a reminder that even in the midst of chaos and change, the things that truly matter will always remain.

A few life lessons that How I Met your Mother taught me:
- Nothing good happens after 2AM
- Dont chase after what doesn't work. Let the universe take over
- Everything happens for a reason
- Dont ever give up crazy times with your friends
- Miracles Happen
- Things you may not have liked before May not be so bad later on
- Perfect isn't always perfect
- Some people have expiration dates
- Wait for it.....
...
...
...
- Dont postpone joy
- The important moments shouldn't be wasted, because you'll never get them back
- Be clear about the things you say
- The most important people in your life are the ones you can see sitting on a porch with
- "The Talk" is one of the worst things ever, but it is important
- You're not looking for someone who just tolerates your quirks, you're looking for someone who loves them,cherishes them, and loves you even more for them
- Some people are worth a LOT of work to keep around...

The Red Boot, The Yellow Umbrella and The Blue French Horn.
The red symbolises the ups and downs of one's life. For Ted, it was the adventure of looking or searching The One. That journey, albeit rough, teaches him lots of things. It rewarded him with friendship, memories of loved ones and people that come and go in his life.
The Blue symbolises willingness and what lies at the end of the journey. What Ted wanted was to be with The One. He didn't know who or how he would met the one. We all thought it was the mother that he would end up with. But no, it was Robin. He avoided the feelings. When Robin was with Kevin, The Male Newscaster or even with Barney. He, at his best, denied the feelings, denied the feeling that Robin signalled the kiss earlier in the season. But, in the end, fate conquers all. Yes, it was a pain to see the mother had to go that way. But Robin and Ted was fated.
The Yellow symbolises a phase. An obsession. (At least to me). Remember that one girl you had a crush back in high school? The one that you promises to stay forever? That phase? Contrary to the Blue French Horn that was Ted's love life (driven by fate), well, this one was driven by Ted himself. He the one that seek the mother. believing she is the one. That was the phase I was talking about.
Altogether, the hue of Red, Green and Blue (the primary color), you will get white. To me, it represents this life, this moment. That what's make this show special. Without realizing it, it hints you with lots of these kinds of stuff.
Sorry for the rambling.
