Heather
First Floor Power Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you talk, yeah, when
You talk like that I get
Scared. You're superficial and
One can tell that you don't
Care.
Didn't we grow up together,
Now didn't we Heather?
Are you from a dream a didn't want

Heather, do you like the weather
Now do you Heather
The world flew by
And you tried to grab it
When I flew by
You tried to stab me
Didn't we grow up together,
Now didn't we Heather?
Are you from a dream a didn't want

Heather, do you like the weather
Now do you Heather

Overall Meaning

In First Floor Power's song "Heather," the singer expresses fear and discomfort towards someone named Heather who they grew up with. The singer accuses Heather of being superficial and not caring about others. Despite having a shared history, the singer feels disconnected from Heather, as if she's from a different world that they didn't want to belong to. The chorus repeats the question "didn't we grow up together, now didn't we Heather?" suggesting that the singer is longing for a connection that is now lost. The lyrics also touch on jealousy, as the singer mentions that when they succeeded, Heather tried to "stab" them.

The song seems to be commenting on the fleeting nature of friendships and relationships. The title character Heather represents someone from the singer's past, a person they once knew intimately but now struggles to connect with. The lyrics suggest that as people grow older, they can become more selfish and disconnected from those they used to be close with. The line "are you from a dream I didn't want" implies that the singer might be experiencing an existential crisis, struggling to understand the purpose of past relationships.
