Heaven and Endless
Jupiter Sunrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't have to know
Swift and contained and caught up in life so you never can land
Your genius/beauty it hits me like dirt in the face and you can't understand
All I have ever wanted was just to be able to stand on my own
You save all your problems for me, they don't have to know
You come here on your own with cancers and perfume
And five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless
Cursed and betrayed and forced to be strong on these hard iron wings
Wizards and scientists left on their own shouldn't play with these things
Now we are running away and who knows what the future will bring, on our own
We are left to survive on our own.
And the mausoleums perched so high above the city can be fun in the right amount of sun
And a certain amount of technology has pricked your curiosity
And a certain amount of persecution has curiously invaded your mind
And I tried to be the hero but I screwed it all up in the end
And now we're in the midst of this whole great global war
When five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless
They won't come here for me
I covered up everything so carefully
They got exactly what they deserved
All I get is this guilt
I have sacrificed everything and now I am cursed by these iron wings
But at least I am not alone
While I watch the city burn below
Something's familiar to me
They don't have to know
The song "Heaven and Endless" by Jupiter Sunrise has a complex and deeply introspective theme, where the singer appears to be struggling with their own identity and purpose, while also dealing with the burdens of someone else's problems. The opening lines "something's familiar to me, they don't have to know" suggests a sense of self-awareness and the need for secrecy or privacy. It would seem that the singer is someone who feels out of place, "caught up in life so you never can land", and perhaps envious of others who appear more talented and attractive ("your genius/beauty it hits me like dirt in the face and you can't understand").
The chorus of the song offers a glimpse into the singer's coping mechanisms, using isolation and escapism ("hide in the hilltops and graves"), and finding comfort in fleeting moments of pleasure and beauty ("five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless"). The second verse introduces a darker tone, with references to being cursed, betrayed, and forced to be strong. It also alludes to the dangers of playing with power and knowledge beyond our understanding, and the consequences of our actions ("we are left to survive on our own"). The bridge of the song touches on themes of technology, persecution, responsibility, and failure, culminating in a sense of hopelessness and despair as the world seems to be consumed by war.
Overall, "Heaven and Endless" is a haunting and introspective song about identity, isolation, and the pursuit of happiness in a world full of pain and suffering. It offers a glimpse into the struggles of someone who feels lost and out of place, while also dealing with the burden of other people's problems. It's a song that invites the listener to reflect on their own struggles and hopes, and to find solace in the fleeting moments of beauty and joy that life offers.
