1. An English indiepop group (active from 1989 to 1996).
2. An Australian indie avant-garde band fronted by Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, daughter of INXS member, Michael Hutchence.
3. A French power metal band (active from 1994 to present).

1. Heavenly were a 1990s indiepop band formed in Oxford, England in 1989. Amelia Fletcher (vocals), Mathew Fletcher (drums; Amelia's brother), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar) and Robert Pursey (bass) had all been members of Talulah Gosh, a key band of the c86 scene which preceded the indiepop movement, formed in 1986.

Heavenly debuted with the 7" single I Fell In Love Last Night, followed by another 7", Our Love Is Heavenly, both released in 1990 on Sarah Records. Heavenly Vs. Satan, the group's debut album, came out in 1991. They went on to release three more albums: Le Jardin de Heavenly, The Decline and Fall of Heavenly, and Operation Heavenly.

Shortly before the release of their final album in 1996, Mathew Fletcher, the band's drummer and Amelia's brother, committed suicide. The remaining members announced that the band name Heavenly was to be retired. The other members regrouped with a new drummer as Marine Research, a moniker under which they released a single album, 1999's Sounds From The Gulf Stream. The band's core members reformed in 2002 as Tender Trap.

A collection of their singles was released in 2020 under the title "A Bout De Heavenly." Reviewing in Pitchfork, Quinn Moreland noted "Heavenly released four studio albums, but a recent singles collection, A Bout De Heavenly, makes the case that some of their most magical work existed in smaller formats."

2. Heavenly is an Australian avant-garde, experimental band consisting of members Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, Nicholas Allbrook, India Rose, Scarlett Stevens, and Jacob Diamond. The band released their first EP titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown in March 2020 on Bandcamp.

3. Heavenly, a power metal/neo-classical metal band from Paris, France, were formed in 1994 by vocalist Benjamin Sotto and drummer Max Pilo. They were originally a cover band and played under the name of 'Satan's Lawyer' before evolving into a fully-fledged Helloween-influenced power metal outfit.

In 2000, Heavenly released their debut album 'Coming From the Sky.' Although it was largely shunned by the media, the album proved a hit with metal fans and its success helped Heavenly land an appearance at the French Hard Rock Festival.

Heavenly released their second album Sign of the Winner in 2001, and received positive feedback from both fans and media alike. After appearing at Wacken (the world's biggest metal festival) in 2002, Heavenly set to work recording their third album, 'Dust to Dust,' which was eventually released in early 2004, further solidifying their status as one of France's premier power metal bands.

Cut Off
Heavenly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She knew what she wanted
What she wanted wasn't him
But she never let me see
A love I could share is
In my heart and in my hair

They, they said it, so she did it
I was cut off, I was cheated

I drive out alone
And sit outside her home
And pretend she hasn't gone
She, she's not apart from me
She seems me sometime
In the edge of her eye
But I guess she thinks she's wrong
She, she's still a part of me

While he's kissing her
He's pissing on what she deserves
She just smiles and lets it go
Some day, one day soon
I'll make it clear just who loves whom

They, they said it, so she did it
I was cut off, I was cheated

I drive out alone
And sit outside her home
And pretend she hasn't gone
She, she's not apart from me
She seems me sometime
In the edge of her eye

But I guess she thinks she's wrong
She, she's still a part of me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Cut Off" by Heavenly is a story about unrequited love. The singer is in love with someone who never reciprocated their feelings. The person they loved knew what they wanted, but it wasn't the singer. Despite this, the singer never let the other person see how they truly felt.

The chorus reveals that the singer was cut off and cheated. It's unclear whether they were cut off by the person they loved or if they cut themselves off because they knew their feelings would never be returned. In the second verse, the singer drives out alone and sits outside the person's home. They pretend that the person hasn't left them and they're still together. The person sometimes sees the singer out of the corner of their eye but quickly dismisses it.

Line by Line Meaning

She knew what she wanted
She had a clear idea of what she desired

What she wanted wasn't him
That person was not who she desired

But she never let me see
She concealed her true feelings from me

A love I could share is
I possess a love that I could share

In my heart and in my hair
My love is within me, and it is a defining aspect of me

They, they said it, so she did it
Other people influenced her decision

I was cut off, I was cheated
I was rejected and betrayed

I drive out alone
I travel to her home by myself

And sit outside her home
I position myself near her dwelling

And pretend she hasn't gone
I imagine she is still present

She, she's not apart from me
I still feel close to her
