Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
thinking about satan
looking at the sky
postponing the date then
comes a british guy
says hes name is nathan
i say theres no time
all i have is satan
look me in the eye
u wanna ask me why i
say its not the time
lets take it in the night u
walk away bye bye
u say i never try but
fact is hard to hide
i was born a gemini
GOOD GOOD EVIL
GOOD GOOD GOOD
ALWAYS IN THE GOOD A PIECE OF EVIL
THIS WILL BE FOREVER UNDERSTOOD
YOUR FRY LIFE IN THE CANARIES
LOOKING LIKE ALL PLAY BUT ITS ALL WORK
EVERY NITE BACK AT THE SPOT U LEFT IT
AT THE BEACH WITH THE HOTEL DESK CLERK
it wanted it all good, but it couldnt by the stars
the easiest way made to blame for why it went so far
the reason why it keeps taking the rounds up in that bar
what u should come to peace with not to rip up in that scar
reciding in a place with days so hot and nites so cold
to illustrate the clichƩ of what it already told
and what it takes to break it up and not put it on hold
to much for this old split of brains to do when u stay gold
for yours the finest piece of legs to walk around this beach
forever, but back in the days when all was cream and peach
it could not do another thing than be within ur reach
the days u had were gold, but stuff left in the sun will bleach
u sit down in the afterlife, the wine is still the same
u both keep drinking silently and wondering why u came
all talk would be agreeing to that both are left to blame
for better off to be than to get back to tease that flame
GOOD GOOD EVIL
GOOD GOOD GOOD
ALWAYS IN MY WINE A PIECE OF EVIL
THIS MUST BE FOREVER UNDERSTOOD
YOUR FRY LIFE IN THE CANARIES
LOOKING LIKE ALL PLAY BUT ITS ALL WORK
EVERY NITE BACK AT THE SPOT U LEFT IT
AT THE BEACH WITH THE HOTEL DESK CLERK
The lyrics of Easter's song "The Heat" portray a person sitting and contemplating about their life while waiting for something or someone. The opening lines suggest that the person is in a state of confusion or uncertainty, thinking about Satan and looking at the sky, unable to determine which direction to go in or what to do. Then a British guy named Nathan comes along, but the person is not interested in talking, stating that all they have is Satan and there's no time for anything else.
The song then goes on to talk about the constant struggle between good and evil, with the recurring phrase "Good Good Evil, Good Good Good, Always in the Good a Piece of Evil, This will be forever understood." The lyrics also touch upon the theme of work and play, with the line "Your fry life in the Canaries, looking like all play but it's all work, every night back at the spot u left it, at the beach with the hotel desk clerk."
The song seems to suggest that life is not always what it appears to be, that there is a constant battle between good and evil within us, and that in the end, we are all just humans trying to figure things out.
Overall, "The Heat" is a thought-provoking and introspective song about the complexities of life, the struggle between good and evil, and the uncertainty that we all face at some point.
