Tears From Heaven
Desire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I didn't see anything
I lived just like a shadow
I didn't feel anything
If there's a god in heaven
Won't you tell him to let me in?
I promise I'll be a good girl
I promise I won't give in
And you tell me baby
I know that life can get so hard
Look out that window
You could be dancing in the yard
And I know it's crazy
But we've got to find a spark
Keep on burning
And we'll be dancing in the dark
I tried to walk a thin line
But it didn't do anything
I tried to shut off my ,+mind
But it didn't do anything
You say that god's in heaven
He wants to let me in
I promise I'll be a good girl
I promise I won't give in
And you tell me baby
I know that life can get so hard
Look out that window
You could be dancing in the yard
And I know it's crazy
But we've got to find a spark
Keep on burning
And we'll be dancing in the dark
And you tell me baby
You say la la la la la
Say la la la la la
Tell me baby
la la la la la
Tell me baby
la la la la la
The lyrics of Tears From Heaven by Desire are a reflection of the internal struggle of the singer, who appears to be going through a phase of emotional numbness and emptiness in her life. The stained glass window and shadow metaphorically represent her detachment from the world and herself. She is seemingly lost and looking for hope, which she believes can come from a higher power.
The idea of the singer trying to play by the rules - walking a thin line and promising to be a good girl - suggests that she may have faced societal pressure or judgement for her actions. She talks about the possibility of being let into heaven, yet it is not clear if she believes in the existence of God or if this is just a rhetorical question.
The chorus presents a ray of hope and serves as a reminder that life can still be enjoyed despite its hardships. It encourages the singer to keep looking for a spark that will light up her life, as represented by the metaphor of dancing in the dark. The chorus also suggests that not everything in life has a logical explanation and that sometimes, we must embrace the irrationality and craziness of it all.

"If it is not love what I feel, I do not know what will be.
Since my eyes see the early lights of a new day, until sunset consumes them, you occupy my thoughts.
Like a beautiful obsession, you have entered me.
I have felt a thousand experiences with the mere fact that you came to my mind.
An emptiness invades me, loneliness divides me.
You, yes you, my real love, my true passion, my endless beauty.
Yours are my fears, my weaknesses, and my secrets.
With a thousand beautiful feelings, your beloved Alejandro".
-Marcelo Alejandro Beutelspacher "A Love Letter".
