Heavy
F. Virtue & Juan Deuce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay right where you are
You heavy old star
There isn't a distance
Sufficiently far
Your helium excess is bringing me down
Are you telling the truth or are you making a sound?

Climbed out of your well
And out of your hell
A coronal ejection
With a story to tell
That retinal sunburn is bringing me down
Turn love into ash without making a

Sound

Stay right where you are
You heavy old star
There isn't a distance
Sufficiently far




Your helium excess is bringing me down
Are you telling the truth or are you making a sound?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Heavy' by F. Virtue & Juan Deuce describe a star that has become too heavy, and its helium excess is affecting the singer. The star is asked to stay in its place, no matter how far it is, because its presence is bringing the singer's mood down. The star's excess helium is making the singer feel weighed down, and the question arises as to whether the star is telling the truth or merely making a sound.


The lyrics go on to talk about how the singer has left his own problems behind and escaped from a difficult place, just like the heavy star needs to stay in its place. The star's burst of energy, referred to as a coronal ejection, has a story to tell, but the singer is concerned that it might cause more harm than good. Just like staring at the sun for too long can cause a retinal sunburn, the singer feels like the star's impact might be too much for him to handle. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, further emphasizing the singer's desire for distance from the heavy star.
