Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where is the fire in your eyes
Do you remember all the things we used to share
Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet
These are the darkest of your days,
Where are your thousand friends
As all the lights went out
The lights went out
In the darkness of your room,
The only time that you feel free
The solidarity you feel
Is only solitude you share
These are the darkest of your days,
Where are your thousand friends
And who will guide you through the night
As all the lights went out
This is where they want you to be
Wasting all your thoughts and passion
The solidarity you feel
Is only solitude you share
Your strong words gave hope to me so many times
But now there's only silence when we meet
These are the darkest of your days,
Where are your thousand friends
And who will guide you through the night
As all the lights went out
The Heaven Shall Burn song "Mybestfriends.com" is a poignant commentary on the darkness that can overtake a person's life when they become isolated and disconnected from the support systems that once sustained them. The opening verse sets the tone for the song's emotional core as it addresses someone who used to be a light in the singer's life asking "are you still the one I used to know? / where is the fire in your eyes?". It's clear that the person in question has changed in a significant way, and the once-strong connection between them has weakened to "only silence when we meet".
The chorus is a cry for help, questioning where this person's "thousand friends" are and who will guide them when "all the lights went out". The verses between the chorus expand on this, painting a picture of someone lost in their own darkness, seeking solace in solitude, but finding only emptiness. The final verse brings the song home with a poignant observation on the impact that this person has had on the singer, acknowledging that "your strong words gave hope to me so many times, but now there's only silence when we meet".
Overall, "Mybestfriends.com" points to the dangers of social isolation and the importance of having strong connections to others. It's a powerful reminder that even those who seem to have it all together on the surface can be struggling with deep-seated darkness on the inside.

In the darkness of your room, the only moment you feel free. This solidarity you feel is only solitude you share, solitude you share.
So damn good!
