Heavy
Iann Dior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a place that I go in my head
When I don't really wanna be here
There's a door I unlock with my mind
And that's how my dreams fly
Yeah, I like to be lonely sometimes
'Cause nobody tells the truth anymore
I got no love, in my veins, it's cold
Diamonds in my chain, it's froze
They won't fill that space you left me
I fear it's too heavy
They say, "When it rains, it pours"
But I know you won't cry no more
I did you dirt, now karma got me
I fear it's too heavy
I fear it's true (I fear it's true)
I fear it's true
Yeah, I like to stand up on the roof
'Cause up here feels like truth
Yeah, they tell me I'm broken inside
I call that livin' life
I don't know where to turn on this road
'Cause nobody tells the truth anymore
Anymore
I got no love, in my veins, it's cold
Diamonds in my chain, it's froze
They won't fill that space you left me
I fear it's too heavy
They say, "When it rains, it pours"
But I know you won't cry no more
I did you dirt, now karma got me
I fear it's too heavy
I fear it's true (I fear it's true)
I fear it's true
The lyrics to iann dior's song "Heavy" express the singer's feelings of loneliness, heartbreak, and guilt. He describes a place in his mind where he goes when he doesn't want to be in the present, alluding to the idea of escapism. He also mentions a door that he can unlock with his mind to let his dreams fly, indicating that perhaps his dreams offer him a sense of freedom and release from the emotional weight he carries.
Moving on, iann sings about feeling lonely, as he believes nobody tells the truth anymore, highlighting his innate feeling of disconnection from the world. He confesses that he has no love left in his veins as it's cold, reflecting his bleak attitude towards his emotions. He also refers to the diamonds in his chain as frozen, giving the impression that his tangible possessions that once gave him pleasure are now as cold and lifeless as he feels. Moreover, he admits that they cannot fill the space that was left by someone he loved, and he fears that the weight of his emotional burden is simply too much for him to bear. It is also clear that he has done something wrong to someone who he cared about, and karma has now caught up to him, adding to his internal depletion.
Finally, iann dior talks about his preference for standing on the roof, where he feels connected to the truth, suggesting he finds enlightenment in solitude. He also acknowledges that he's broken on the inside, but condemns it as "calling that living." He ends the song as he begins, saying he doesn't know where to turn on this road because nobody tells the truth anymore, and repeating his earlier sentiments.
