The song "Locked Out Of Heaven" by Bruno Mars is, at first glance, a fun, upbeat song about the joys of sexual intimacy. However, a closer look at the lyrics reveals that it's more than just a simple love song. Mars sings about how he never really believed in love or miracles until he met someone who made him feel like he was "born again" every time they spent the night together. The line "swimming in your water is something spiritual" suggests that this person makes him feel something deeper and more profound than just physical pleasure.
The chorus of the song is where Mars really drives home the idea of being "locked out of heaven." He sings about how this person's sex takes him to paradise and makes him feel like he's finally come home after being denied entry for too long. The repetition of the phrase "for too long" emphasizes the idea that this is something he's been missing for a significant amount of time.
The bridge of the song is particularly interesting because it suggests a sense of redemption. Mars sings that this person has brought him to his knees, has made him feel like he needs to testify. He even suggests that they have the power to "make a sinner change his ways." This implies that this relationship is not just about physical pleasure, but about something more transformative and life-changing.
Overall, "Locked Out Of Heaven" is a catchy, fun song with deeper themes around love, intimacy, and redemption.
