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
The lyrics of the song Low Heaven by 13 & God are an encapsulation of the human tendency to covet power and avoid pain. The opening lines of the song refer to the human urge to avoid being hurt or vulnerable, even if it means sacrificing truth and honesty. The chorus of the song reveals the irony of this behavior, as we continue to crave power and control in the face of adversity. The song paints a picture of how we as humans often struggle to balance these conflicting desires.
As the verse progresses, the lyrics shift to an examination of the human ego. We are so driven by the desire to be seen as superior to others, that it blinds us to our own flaws and limitations. The line "Supreme to a man mold maker with a tendency/Toward the more dramatic side of everything" speaks to this idea. Our constant need for attention and validation can cause us to lose sight of what truly matters.
Overall, the lyrics of Low Heaven are a commentary on the human experience. The song is a reminder that we are all flawed and imperfect, but at the same time, we are all capable of great things. We must learn to embrace this duality and strive for humility and compassion in the face of adversity.
