One way to heaven
Jamie Winchester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She'll eat you up and spit you out on the tiles
Her very presence explains a lot
If there's a devil then there has to be God
And the distances in her eyes, to see her
Makes the coldest man alive a Believer
It's the bad where I laid
It's my loss, it's my cross
It's the trust she betrayed
It's the pain that I need
I feel good on my knees
It's this place, what a waste
I can taste this disease
You watch it happening, you watch your back
And at your weekest she will launch her attack
She'll drive you crazy, she does it well
One way to heaven's climbing straight up from hell
It's the choice that I made
It's the bad where I laid
It's my loss, it's my cross
It's the trust she betrayed
It's the pain that I need
I feel good on my knees
It's this place, what a waste
I can taste this disease
And the distances in her eyes, to see her
Makes the coldest man alive a Believer
The song "One Way to Heaven", by Jamie Winchester, talks about a woman who is portrayed as a manipulative and dangerous persona, with her evil behavior being highlighted. She is someone who can devour the weakest man alive and leave them on the brink of destruction. The singer explains that her presence explains a lot, as if there is a devil, then there has to be a god.
In the chorus, the singer owns up to his wrong decisions and the consequences that led him to need the pain and suffering that he is experiencing. The choice he made to be with this woman is the bad that he laid. He acknowledges the trust that she betrayed him and the pain that he needs, which makes him feel good on his knees. The disease he's tasted is the result of this toxic relationship that he's in, and he's come to realize that it's a waste to stay in this place.
However, there's a sudden twist towards the end of the song when the singer says that "the distances in her eyes" can make even the coldest man alive a believer. It's unclear whether he's still being sarcastic towards her, or if he's become so captivated by her that he sees her in a new light. It's a curious and open ending that leaves it up to the listener's interpretation.
