Heaven
Mitski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of our love
Filling all of our room
Your low warm voice
Curses as you find the string to strike within me
That rings out a note heard in heaven
Heaven, heaven

Now I bend like a willow
Thinkin' of you
Like a murmuring brook
Curving about you
As I sip on the rest of the coffee you left
A kiss left of you
Heaven, heaven, heaven

Hear the storm dances outside
Something set free
Is runnin' through the night
And the dark awaits us all around the corner
But here in our place
We have for the day
Can we stay a while and listen for
Heaven? Heaven

Overall Meaning

In Mitski's song "Heaven," the lyrics depict a deeply intimate and affectionate connection between two individuals. The opening lines, "All of our love, fillin' all of our room," suggest a sense of complete immersion and emotional overflow within their shared space. The reference to a "low warm voice" illustrates the tenderness and closeness between the two.


The following lines, "Curses as you find the string to strike within me, that rings out a note heard in heaven," reveal the profound impact the other person has on the singer. The metaphorical "string" represents the emotional chord that resonates within the singer, creating a heavenly sensation. The repeated emphasis on "heaven" reinforces the idea that this connection feels heavenly or divine.


As the song continues, the lyrics shift to the singer's perspective. They describe themselves as bending like a willow and constantly thinking of the other person, comparing their thoughts to a murmuring brook curving around them. This imagery captures the singer's constant state of reflection and longing for the presence of the other person.


The final verse introduces a sense of danger or uncertainty lurking outside their sanctuary. The storm, representing life's challenges or hardships, dances outside while something set free runs through the night. Nevertheless, in their shared place, they do not have to confront the darkness alone. Instead, they choose to stay and bask in the moment, listening for the heavenly sensation they have discovered within each other.
