Heathcliff
Diva Destruction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't wait and I can't take this anymore
Cause it's been too long and it's been too hard
and it's way too late.
and you'll never try and i'll never try,
so we'll never know.
You're my Heathcliff,
You're my heathcliff, come back to me
You're my heathcliff, you're my heathcliff
Why can't you see?
that it's been too long
and it's been too hard
and it's way too late,
and you'll never try and i'll never try
So we'll never know,
and you'll never admit it,
and i'll never admit it,
so we'll never heal,
you're my heathcliff,
You're my heathcliff, come back to me
Can't you see, can't you see, it's been too long, too long, for us, for us, and our destiny
I'm your Catherine, we are one and the same
Can't you see, can't you see, it's been too long,
and i can't wait,




and i can't take this anymore,
and i want you, back here with me

Overall Meaning

In this song, Diva Destruction's lead singer Adrienne Pearson uses the literary character of Heathcliff, from the famous novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, as a metaphor for a lost love. Adrienne sings about how it has been too long and too hard to keep waiting for her love to return, and how they've never truly tried to make it work. She acknowledges that they'll never admit their faults and thus never truly heal from the pain of their lost love. As she begs for her love to return, she tells him that they are "one and the same", comparing herself to the tragic heroine Catherine in "Wuthering Heights". It's a heart-wrenching plea for a lost love to come back and make things right, but ultimately the message is one of unrequited love and a longing that can never truly be satisfied.

@DivaDestructionOfficial

Thank you. It started out as just a piano ballad like many songs I wrote and then I added different sounds. You can hear the piano ballad solo in the breakdown between the last choruses.
