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.

Don't Be Fooled
Heavenly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever wanted to have a fight for the one you love?
Want someone to shout at, instead of to shout a, shout a, shout about.
Have you ever needed somebody to shake you up?
Have you ever wanted to see, how much he'd bleed,
If you kicked him in the teeth?

Have you ever wanted to be amused by the one you love?
Want someone to laugh at, as well as to laugh a, laugh a, laugh about.

Have you ever shouted "Surprise me, surprise me!"?
Have you ever wanted to sigh, and say goodbye,
Just to see how much he'd cry.

Oh when the one you love's
Not the one that you've been dreaming of.
Oh when the one you love's
Not the one that you've been dreaming of.
Don't be fooled by dreams.

Does he ever ask you if he is always in your dreams?
And you answer slyly, "Why do you think I wake up smiling?"
Do you ever wonder if dreams could be for real?
Have you ever wanted to dream, and make-believe,
That you've got him on his knees?

Oh when the one you love's
Not the one that you've been dreaming of.
Oh when the one you love's
Not the one that you've been dreaming of.
Don't be fooled by dreams.

Oh when I wake up smiling,
Sometimes I think that dreams can all come true.
But then I wake up screaming, screamin', screaming for you.

Oh when the one you love's
Not the one that you've been dreaming of.
Oh when the one you love's
Not the one that you've been dreaming of.
Don't be fooled by dreams.

Don't be fooled by dreams
Don't be fooled by dreams
Don't be fooled by dreams

Don't be fooled by dreams
Don't be fooled by dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Heavenly's song Don't Be Fooled revolve around the theme of love and how it can be misleading. The song starts by questioning if anyone has ever felt the need to have a fight with their loved one, just to express their emotions. The lyrics suggest that sometimes we want to shout and release our pent-up feelings instead of just talking things out. The lyrics further discuss the desire to see how far someone can be pushed, or how much pain they can endure which highlights the complexity of emotional vulnerability in relationships.

The second verse of the song talks about the desire for amusement in relationships. People often want to be entertained and laugh with their partner, but sometimes also want to laugh at them. The lyrics suggest the desire for surprises and the need to test our partners' emotions. The chorus of the song emphasizes the dangers of dreaming too much about someone we love because sometimes, reality may be far from what we have dreamt of. However, we still go on dreaming and hoping that they may one day come true.

In the bridge of the song, the lyrics ask if anyone has ever wondered if their dreams could come true, to which the response is a resounding "yes." Everyone wants to dream and imagine a life full of happiness and joy. However, sometimes, these dreams can also bring about painful memories and regret. Finally, the full circle of the song is closed in the last chorus where the lyrics caution listeners, once more, to not be fooled by their dreams.
