01. Low Heaven
13 & God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And/or a bone shown broken to the open air
They're
Praying for their lucky stars to shoot
We remain such gluttons
For the generous threat of being
Supreme to a man mold maker with a tendency
Toward the more dramatic side of everything
Flattered I'm sure,
And what does modern child mistakenly chalk up
To the humongous homogenous win column of god
The swapping of a dearest dead pet for a fresh one
Finding someone else's wallet or say, a snow day
They're
Threatening their lucky stars to shoot
"Low Heaven" is a complex and poetic song by the band 13 & God, a collaboration between American hip-hop group Themselves and German indie rockers The Notwist. The song explores themes of vulnerability, fear, and the desire for control. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the ways we try to protect ourselves from harm, both physical and emotional. We pray for luck and seek the advantages of power over others, but ultimately we remain vulnerable and fragile.
The second verse offers a critique of the way that some people misconstrue the workings of fate or providence. The "modern child" referred to here mistakes random events, like a snow day or finding a lost wallet, as signs of divine favor or intervention. The singer suggests that this is a form of magical thinking that belies our deeper fear and uncertainty.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "they're threatening their lucky stars to shoot," which can be interpreted in different ways. It could refer to people attempting to manipulate or defy fate by daring it to harm them. Alternatively, it could suggest a sort of fatalistic resignation to the harshness of life, as though the stars themselves are ready to inflict punishment.
Overall, "Low Heaven" is a thought-provoking meditation on human existence, our attempts to control our lives and escape suffering, and the limits of our power and knowledge.
