Heaven
Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Flashbacks looking forward to the future
Little girl bright eyes you never knew her
Sweet like cake but bitter like lemons
She believed one day she'd be in Heaven
I had to kill her in my sleep
Thoughts wouldn't let me succeed
Had to kill her in my dreams
I'm a killer in my dreams
Leather two seater and I'm close to the finish
These the kind of dreams where the diamonds come with em
Locked up in the studio making songs by the minute
But don't ask me where I'm at cause they always stay creeping
I know most of y'all will give it all for the fame
But if you love or hate me to me it's the same thing
I'm emotionless I can't feel no pain
Vvs on my heart but I'm not ashamed
Flashbacks looking forward to the future
Little girl bright eyes you never knew her
Sweet like cake but bitter like lemons
She believed one day she'd be in Heaven
When Heaven Comes
When Heaven Comes
Leather two seater and I'm close to the finish
Fuck boys keep calling but you know I'm done with em
Wasted all this time so worried 'bout they feelings
But if I focus on my grind I can break out of this ceiling
I know most of y'all still at home taking aim
But y'all can run up all that hate and stay in the same place
I'm emotionless I can't feel no pain
Scars on my heart but I'm not ashamed
Flashbacks looking forward to the future
Little girl bright eyes you never knew her
Sweet like cake but bitter like lemons
She believed one day she'd be in Heaven
When Heaven Comes
When Heaven Comes
I had to kill her in my sleep
Thoughts wouldn't let me succeed
Had to kill her in my dreams
I'm a killer in my dreams
When Heaven Comes
When Heaven Comes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nicole's song "Heaven" convey a deep sense of introspection and struggle. The song portrays the journey of a person who is haunted by their past and the dreams they once had as a little girl. The opening lines, "Flashbacks looking forward to the future, Little girl bright eyes you never knew her," indicate the conflicting emotions of reminiscing about the past while also longing for a better future. The person compares their hopeful innocence to the bitter reality of life, describing themselves as "sweet like cake but bitter like lemons."


The chorus, "She believed one day she'd be in Heaven," captures the dream and aspiration the person had, most likely for a better life or a state of happiness. However, the following lines reveal a darker layer. The person confesses, "I had to kill her in my sleep, Thoughts wouldn't let me succeed, Had to kill her in my dreams, I'm a killer in my dreams." These lyrics suggest that the dreams and innocence of the past have been suppressed or lost due to internal struggles and conflicts.


The second verse shifts to the present and references material possessions, such as a "leather two seater" and the pursuit of success. The person acknowledges the temptations and distractions that come with fame and success, but asserts their emotional detachment and resilience. They emphasize that their emotions are numbed, unable to feel pain and shame. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the longing for a brighter future, which is juxtaposed with the confession of killing the dreams within.


Overall, "Heaven" examines the complexities of personal growth, the sacrifices made along the way, and the conflict between past aspirations and present realities. It speaks to the struggles of maintaining innocence and dreams in the face of adversity and the emotional toll it takes.

Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothing could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Yeah, love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, yeah
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you, oh
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
Isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, heaven
Whoa
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
