Heavy
Biz & NextRO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the earth hasn't opened up yet
I'm so heavy
Sick thoughts like a thickly veiled threat
I'm so heavy
Heavy now
Mama I'm so tired of what I've become
Cause I'm so heavy, I think I've gone and snuffed it out
So heavy
Heavy now
I feel silly
Like I'm crying on a broken record
I feel silly
Acting like I'm the only who gets hurt
I feel stupid
Stupid now
Mama I'm so tired of loosing my mind
Mama did you forgive me for leaving you all behind?
(Mama)
I'm so heavy now
There's no where left to go but down
So heavy
(Mama please)
Heavy now
So heavy
Now
Mmmmhmm
So heavy now
Mmmmhm
So heavy now.
The lyrics of "Heavy" by Biz & NextRO convey a deep sense of emotional burden and exhaustion. The repeated phrase "I'm so heavy" serves as a metaphor for the weight of the singer's struggles and experiences. The opening lines, "I feel heavy, like the earth hasn't opened up yet," imply a feeling of being stuck or trapped, as if there is no release or escape from the weight they carry. The phrase "sick thoughts like a thickly veiled threat" suggests that the burden they carry includes negative thoughts and emotions that lurk beneath the surface, potentially causing harm to themselves or others.
The singer turns to their mother throughout the song, seeking solace and understanding. They express weariness and regret, feeling tired of the person they have become and longing for the fire and passion they lost in their youth. The line "cause I'm so heavy, I think I've gone and snuffed it out" suggests a loss of motivation or enthusiasm, as if their burdens have extinguished their internal spark.
The second verse continues with a sense of feeling foolish and insignificant. The line "like I'm crying on a broken record" illustrates a sense of repetition and futility, as if the singer's pain is continuous and unchanging. They acknowledge their vulnerability and the fact that they are not the only one who experiences pain, feeling "stupid" for dwelling on their own suffering.
The repeated plea to their mother, "Mama, I'm so tired" and the questioning of forgiveness for leaving her behind indicate a desire for reconciliation and a yearning for comfort in the face of their heavy burdens. The final lines, "there's nowhere left to go but down," suggest a feeling of hopelessness and resignation as they feel trapped in their heaviness.
Overall, "Heavy" delves into themes of emotional exhaustion, inner demons, regret, and the longing for connection and understanding.
