Between Heaven and Hell
Hunter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooo
Ahhh

Sweetly comes the night
Wings of darkness' flight
Feel the stygian breeze
Caress Your moon-burned skin
Never let the winds of sorrow
Blow away Your old tomorrow

When the teardrops fall
Candlelight on the wall
Lonesome shadows pour inside my mind
Asleep in Your earthly grave
Your arms are the shelter I crave

I had the strangest dream last night
You came to me at in an unearthly light
To let me know that I am not alone
You feel the way that I do, too
You are the sun; I am the moon

Take me home to Your hell
Burn my soul in Your fire
Love me until the universe explodes
Into a thousand kisses of light

Well, it's been so long
Since I held You tight
An even longer time
Since You've been gone

But I'll wake up tomorrow
With dust in my arms
Only my pillow knows
The tears I've cried for You

Take me home to Your hell
Burn my soul in Your fire
Love me until the universe explodes
Into a thousand kisses of light
Ohhh

Take me home to Your hell
Burn my soul in Your fire
Love me until the universe explodes
Into a thousand kisses of light





Take me home to Your hell
Burn my soul in Your fire

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hunter's song "Between Heaven and Hell" present a dark and haunting picture of the beauty and pain of longing for love and companionship. The opening lines describe the night as a sweet and seductive embrace, but tinged with darkness and an otherworldly quality provided by the wings of darkness and the stygian breeze. The lyrics convey a sense of surrender to this ambivalent force, as if the singer is being drawn into a world of shadow and secrets.


As the song progresses, we learn that it is the memory of a lost love that keeps the singer trapped in this limbo between heaven and hell. The image of teardrops falling and casting lonesome shadows within the mind captures the intensity of the singer's sorrow and isolation. The reference to the earthly grave creates a sense of longing for the physical presence of the lover who has gone, and the desire for comfort in their arms.


The final lines of the chorus offer a powerful statement of the depth of the singer's feeling, as they ask to be taken home to the lover's hell and burned in their fire. The appeal of this kind of pain and destruction is that it allows the singer to feel alive and connected to a force greater than himself. The closing line, "love me until the universe explodes into a thousand kisses of light," suggests the possibility of transcendence and redemption, even within the darkness and pain of the underworld.


Overall, the lyrics of "Between Heaven and Hell" offer a compelling exploration of the ways in which love and loss can shape and define our sense of self, and our connection to something beyond ourselves.
