Heaven
Jonsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it makes me feel blue
And I'm lost
Without those colours of you
I can't think straight
I just wanna be
Wherever you are
When you're not here with me
Blend with my blue
Those colours of you
Please help me
See it through, oh
This journey I must
Take alone
So just blend your colours
With my blue
I lay down and cry
And the rivers are dry
Oh, to unveil my heart
When you kiss me goodbye
And when you set sail
Fair winds... All the way
So, farewell
That's all I can say
Blend with my blue
Those colours of you
Please help me
See it through, oh
This journey I must
Take alone
So just blend your colours
With my blue
I know I'll find my love tonight
I can feel you reaching out
I got this feeling deep inside
It's in my head
It's in my heart
I know
Your love tonight
And I know
You'll be by my side
I know
You'll help me to see it through
Blend your colours
With my blue
The lyrics to Jónsi's song "Heaven" are a poignant expression of the singer's feelings of loss and longing for someone who is no longer with him. He begins the song by confessing that he still misses this person and that it makes him feel blue, implying that he is depressed and unable to move on from his grief. He describes feeling lost without "those colours of you," which could refer to the vibrancy and joy that this person brought to his life, or perhaps to their literal presence in his life through the use of color symbolism.
Throughout the song, Jónsi emphasizes the need for this person to blend their colors with his blue, implying that he needs their help to see his way through his grief and sadness. He recognizes that he must take this journey alone, but he also acknowledges that he can't do it without the support and love of this person. He describes crying and feeling like the rivers have gone dry, a metaphor that captures the depth of his despair.
Yet, despite all of this, Jónsi remains hopeful that he will find love again. He declares that he can feel this person reaching out to him, suggesting that they are still present in some way, even if they are physically gone. He ends the song with the phrase "blend your colors with my blue," a final plea for this person to help him through his grief and to be with him as he moves forward in his life.

The sad thing is that no one will probably ever read this comment, since I'm probably the only one that's still 16 years later here. For me this is one of the most underrated entries ever both by result and fans. It's one of my favourite songs ever. So extremely beautiful! Very unpopular opinion but this is miles better than his entry in 2012...
