Narratively the song is about “Luna”/Halsey and the character sung by Lauren Jauregui in “Strangers” at a “crazy house party” at Luna/Halsey’s house. The song talks about how the pair is hiding their love much like Romeo and Juliet, considering the fact that the album is inspired by the famous play.
On June 1st, Halsey performed the whole "hopeless fountain kingdom" album for VEVO: Presents.
Heaven in Hiding
Halsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear my heartbeat fucking kickin'?
Your eyes light up 'cause you best believe that I got something up my sleeve
I walk my talk, no time for wishful thinking
I push up on my toes, you call me "sweet thing"
And breathing down your neck, your body screaming
And you thought that you were the boss tonight, but I can put up one good fight
I flip the script like I can take a beating
And when you start to feel the rush
A crimson headache, aching blush
And you surrender to the touch, you'll know
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
Don't you see what you're finding?
This is heaven in hiding, oh
And when you start to look at me, a physical fatality
And you surrender to the heat, you'll know
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
Don't you see what you're finding?
This is heaven in hiding
This is heaven in hiding, oh
Sitting on the concrete in your basement
But I don't have no time for conversation
Said, "this ain't what you usually do, and a girl like me is new for you"
And I can tell you mean it 'cause you're shaking
And when you start to feel the rush
A crimson headache, aching blush
And you surrender to the touch, you'll know
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
Don't you see what you're finding?
This is heaven in hiding, oh
And when you start to look at me, a physical fatality
And you surrender to the heat, you'll know
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
Don't you see what you're finding?
This is heaven in hiding
This is heaven in hiding, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And when you start to feel the rush
A crimson headache, aching blush
And you surrender to the touch, you'll know
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
Don't you see what you're finding?
This is heaven in hiding, oh
And when you start to look at me, a physical fatality
And you surrender to the heat, you'll know
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
Don't you see what you're finding?
This is heaven in hiding
This is heaven in hiding
This is heaven in hiding, oh
Oh, this is heaven in hiding
This is heaven in hiding
'Cause I'm heaven in hiding
The song "Heaven In Hiding" by Halsey is a love song where the singer is in complete control of her partner. In the first verse, she sings about sitting on the counter in her partner's kitchen, causing their heart to beat faster. The lyrics suggest that she is someone who is not afraid to take risks, and as such, can keep things interesting in the relationship. She portrays herself as confident, sexy, and in command, rather than the partner being the dominant one. The second verse, on the other hand, describes her in a dark, uncomfortable place where she does not want a conversation. Her partner is nervous and shaking, which suggests that she has him trapped, and she uses this to exert her control.
The chorus of the song repeats how the singer can put on a show, and this is what her partner is finding in her, heaven in hiding. The "show" refers to her ability to dominate the relationship, make her partner feel desired and pursue their physical desires. The lyrics are a metaphorical way of saying she knows how to seduce her partner, and this is her superpower.
Overall, the song "Heaven In Hiding" is a powerful and empowering song from the artist. It shows her command and power in a relationship, while making the listener feel the emotions associated with being in love.
Line by Line Meaning
Sittin' on the counter in your kitchen
I am casually seated on your kitchen counter
Can you hear my heartbeat fucking kickin'?
My heart is racing
Your eyes light up 'cause you best believe that I got something up my sleeve
You are anticipating something special from me
I walk my talk, no time for wishful thinking
I am confident in my abilities, not one to dream
I push up on my toes, you call me 'sweet thing'
You find me adorable and I feel it too
And breathing down your neck, your body screaming
I am close to you, and you are enjoying my proximity
And you thought that you were the boss tonight, but I can put up one good fight
You may think you are in charge, but I can stand my ground
I flip the script like I can take a beating
I am capable of changing the direction of things even when under pressure
And when you start to feel the rush
When your adrenaline starts pumping
A crimson headache, aching blush
It's a feeling of excitement and nervousness
And you surrender to the touch, you'll know
When you experience my touch, you'll understand what I bring to the table
I can put on a show, I can put on a show
I am a performer, and I aim to entertain
Don't you see what you're finding?
Do you not see what you have stumbled across?
This is heaven in hiding, oh
This is something amazing concealed from view
Sitting on the concrete in your basement
Now I am sitting in your basement
But I don't have no time for conversation
I am not here to chat, but for other reasons
Said, 'this ain't what you usually do, and a girl like me is new for you'
You are not used to having someone like me around
And I can tell you mean it 'cause you're shaking
You are genuinely nervous and it shows
This is heaven in hiding, oh
This is the most amazing thing you have come across in secrecy
This is heaven in hiding
This is something extraordinary that others may not comprehend
Oh, this is heaven in hiding
This experience is truly exceptional
'Cause I'm heaven in hiding
I am the embodiment of something beyond comprehension
