HEAVEN
Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone's to blame but you can't blame Jesus
Hey, hey
Singing hymns all alone in my basement
So close I could almost taste it
Hey, hey
Cut it off, cut it off
Cut it off, cut it off
Crucified for the life I'm living
Oh my God, hope I'm forgiven
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven
Speaking in tongues to release my demons
I can't help it, guess I'm a heathen
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven
If pleasure's wrong, cast me out like a sinner
I found myself with my two little fingers
Hey, hey
My right hands got me singing my praises
Holy water and my spirit awakens
Hey, hey
Cut it off, cut it off
Cut it off, cut it off
Crucified for the life I'm living
Oh my god, hope I'm forgiven
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven (yeah)
Speaking in tongues to release my demons
I can't help it, guess I'm a heathenGoing to hell 'cause it feels like heaven
Like heaven
Speaking in tongues to release my demons
I can't help it, guess I'm a heathen
Going to hell 'cause it feels like heaven, yeah
In Demi Lovato's song "HEAVEN," the lyrics describe a deeply personal struggle and inner conflict that the singer is grappling with. The opening lines, "I had a secret, it killed me to keep it, Someone's to blame but you can't blame Jesus," hint at a hidden truth or burden that is weighing heavily on the artist. The mention of Jesus in this context could imply feelings of guilt or shame for the secrets being harbored.
The next set of lyrics paints a picture of solitude and introspection, with the singer confessing to singing hymns alone in their basement. The proximity to something desired yet unattainable is expressed through the line, "So close I could almost taste it." This could symbolize a longing for spiritual fulfillment or a sense of inner peace that feels just out of reach.
The repeated refrain of "Cut it off, cut it off" suggests a desire to rid oneself of whatever is causing pain or conflict. This could signify a need for catharsis or release from the burdens that are being carried. The mention of being "Crucified for the life I'm living" and the hope for forgiveness from God reflects a struggle with guilt and a search for redemption.
The chorus of the song further delves into the conflicting emotions experienced by the singer - the juxtaposition of pleasure and sin, the struggle between feeling like heaven and fearing hell. The use of religious imagery throughout the song underscores the internal battle between desire and morality, self-acceptance and condemnation. The repeated references to speaking in tongues and releasing demons could signify a desire for spiritual cleansing or a way to confront and overcome personal struggles.
Overall, "HEAVEN" by Demi Lovato explores themes of inner turmoil, guilt, and the search for self-acceptance amidst conflicting emotions and desires. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and introspection, as the singer grapples with personal demons and the consequences of their actions. The constant tension between pleasure and sin, heaven and hell, creates a poignant and thought-provoking narrative that invites listeners to reflect on their own struggles and conflicts.
