Heavy
Eleven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through clouds of storm and slowed down light
The mistress of shadows in a meadow on a rock
Is picking a lock as the mossy trees talk
Awakened in a pond the turtle comes forth
With promise of action as secrets unfold
Sleepers are walking with blindfold and book
A push through the fabric is all that it took
In a whirlwind of truth the center was clear
On the back of a turtle I waded through fear
Heavy is the dream as I burn in the sun
Heavy is the dream as I fall just for fun
Zooming out from an endless flight
Through oceans of doubt and left here or right
The master of illusions in a field on a stone
Is setting a trap in a bull's hip bone
Always on it's toes the turtle sees all
With mouthfuls of brilliance she gives me the ball
As serpents are writing it down in my book
A push through the fabric is all that it took
The lyrics of Eleven's song, Heavy, are poetic and abstract, making for an entrancing listening experience. The song appears to address the idea of being in a dream state or altered state of mind, while also experiencing a mix of both fear and enjoyment. The first verse revolves around the image of a mysterious woman (referred to as the "mistress of shadows") picking a lock in a meadow filled with talking trees. Meanwhile, a turtle rises out of a pond, signaling the start of some sort of action as secrets are unveiled. The line "sleepers are walking with blindfold and book" adds to the dream-like feeling of the verse, implying that the people in this world are both conscious of their surroundings and also not fully aware of what's going on (with the blindfolds symbolizing a lack of sight or understanding).
As the song progresses, the second verse brings us back to reality, as the singer zooms out from an "endless flight" and into a world where illusions abound. Here, the "master of illusions" sets a trap, and a turtle continues to be a key symbol in the unfolding story. The turtle is now described as seeing "all" and providing the singer with "mouthfuls of brilliance," perhaps signalling an opportunity for wisdom or guidance. The final lines of the verse again mention serpents ("as serpents are writing it down in my book"), which could represent deceit or hidden knowledge.
The choruses of the song provide a sort of anchor for the otherwise ethereal verses. The line "Heavy is the dream as I burn in the sun" suggests an intense and uncomfortable experience, while "Heavy is the dream as I fall just for fun" could speak to a more playful yet still weighty sensation. Ultimately, the song seems to be about exploring different realms of consciousness and understanding, while grappling with both positive and negative emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
Zooming in from a distant night
Coming closer from a faraway time
Through clouds of storm and slowed down light
Moving through turbulent conditions and distorted time
The mistress of shadows in a meadow on a rock
A female figure who controls darkness is on a rock in a field
Is picking a lock as the mossy trees talk
She is unlocking something while the trees whisper secrets
Awakened in a pond the turtle comes forth
A turtle emerges from a pond, suddenly aware
With promise of action as secrets unfold
The turtle hints at possibilities as hidden knowledge is revealed
Sleepers are walking with blindfold and book
Unconscious people move forward, ready to learn
A push through the fabric is all that it took
A simple attempt is enough to make progress
In a whirlwind of truth the center was clear
Amidst chaos, the truth became apparent
On the back of a turtle I waded through fear
Riding the turtle, I faced my anxiety
Heavy is the dream as I burn in the sun
The dream is burdensome, causing discomfort like being scorched by the sun
Heavy is the dream as I fall just for fun
The dream is so heavy that falling is just a diversion
Zooming out from an endless flight
Moving away from a never-ending journey
Through oceans of doubt and left here or right
Navigating through uncertainty and choices
The master of illusions in a field on a stone
A person who controls illusions is on a rock in a field
Is setting a trap in a bull's hip bone
Crafting a trap in a bull's bone
Always on it's toes the turtle sees all
The turtle is constantly alert and observant
With mouthfuls of brilliance she gives me the ball
The turtle shares wisdom with me
As serpents are writing it down in my book
Snakes are documenting something in my journal
A push through the fabric is all that it took
A small push leads me to an important discovery
