Heaven's Calling
Black Veil Brides Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the heartache, you built by your deception
A blind leap of faith, despair for passing seasons

Sink in Anger, fountains forming
Spills like thunder to what we're holding
Sleep forever now my darling
I won't dwell on heaven's calling
Drive into the stake, secrets of his compassion
A perfect escape, like hell you'll list your reasons

Sink in Anger, fountains forming
Spills like thunder to what we're holding
Sleep forever now my darling
I won't dwell on heaven's calling

Sink in Anger, fountains forming
Spills like thunder to what we're holding




Sleep forever now my darling
I won't dwell on heaven's calling

Overall Meaning

In Black Veil Brides' song "Heaven's Calling," the lyrics explore the emotions that come with deception, heartache, blind faith, despair, and anger. The opening lines "I am the heartache, you built by your deception" suggests that the persona is blaming someone else for the pain and heartache they are experiencing. They feel betrayed by someone who has deceived them in some way, leading to the creation of this heartache. The lines "sink in anger, fountains forming, spills like thunder to what we're holding," are perhaps saying that the persona is overwhelmed with anger, and it's bubbling to the surface like a fountain, creating a significant upheaval.


While the pain and heartache are evident in the lyrics, there are also hints of rebellion or standing up to the situation at hand. The lines "I won't dwell on heaven's calling" suggest that the persona is not interested in following the expected path or conforming to social norms. Instead, they may choose to take charge of their life and make their own decisions. It's a song that speaks to the struggle of dealing with heartache and coming to a point of acceptance.

It’s been 10 years and no one still knows what he’s actually saying when he’s screaming

“When angels run,
_________________,
When angels run,
_________________,
_________”

Used to be it was all “when angels run” except for the last bit that no one ever deciphered, but now they changed the 2nd and 4th line to something else. Seriously, if anyone knows what he’s saying in the bridge can you please tell me.

They put their heart and soul into this rerecording. There is so much energy and drive here that was missing ten years ago. This albums direction and production quality is truly a cleaner and more polished evolution of the bands growth over the years! I love it so much 😁

And I feel like I'm back in high school in the good old days... It feels oddly warming, like a hug from someone you haven't seen in a long time.
