Heaven
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing the will to live
So many wasted years
Your bloodstains and all my tear
There was so much I had to say
Until you cast me away
And I don't care if I live or die
The one decision left I won't let you decide
Take me to Heaven
I want to see what I can find
Take me to Heaven
I've been losing my mind
I think there's no time left
'til you take away my breath
Yeah, I still love you
But I still hate you for what I'm driven to
And I don't believe a word you say
Another on the list of all that you've betrayed
I'm staring at the knife
The one decision left I won't let you decide
The lyrics to Nosferatu's song Heaven are about a person who feels like they have given everything they could to someone they loved, but they still were abandoned and left feeling empty. The person has been through so much pain and heartbreak that they have lost the will to live. They spent so many years trying to express what they had to say to the person they loved until the person finally cast them away. The lyrics convey a sense of despair and helplessness as the person is left to deal with the aftermath of a broken relationship.
The chorus of the song, "Take me to Heaven, I want to see what I can find," implies that the person has nothing left to lose and is willing to take chances in order to find peace and happiness. They have been losing their mind, unable to find a way out of the pain that has consumed them. The verses talk about the anger and resentment the person feels towards the one who broke their heart, but also the continued love they have for them.
The lyric "I'm staring at the knife, the one decision left I won't let you decide" suggests they are nearing the edge of their rope and contemplating suicide. However, they refuse to let the one who hurt them have the final say in their life. It's a powerful message about taking control of one's own life and not letting others dictate their feelings or actions.
Line by Line Meaning
I've given all I had to give
I have given everything I could offer
Losing the will to live
I am losing the motivation to live
So many wasted years
A lot of my years were spent unproductively
Your bloodstains and all my tear
Your actions have caused me pain and suffering
There was so much I had to say
There were numerous things I wanted to tell you
Until you cast me away
Until you rejected me
And I don't care if I live or die
I am at the point where I am indifferent about living or dying
The one decision left I won't let you decide
I am taking control of my own life and won't allow you to make the final decision for me
Take me to Heaven
I want to experience the unknown
I want to see what I can find
I am curious what possibilities are in store
I've been losing my mind
I am going crazy
I think there's no time left
I believe I am running out of time
'til you take away my breath
Until you take my life
Yeah, I still love you
Despite everything, I do still have feelings for you
But I still hate you for what I'm driven to
I resent you for the current state I am in
And I don't believe a word you say
I don't trust a single thing that comes out of your mouth
Another on the list of all that you've betrayed
You have consistently let me down
I'm staring at the knife
I am contemplating self-harm
The one decision left I won't let you decide
I am taking back control of my decision-making power

Gravity
on Bombers
I see you are beautiful across the lives
and through your skin
I spy you are beautiful inside
Maybe you’re not meant to be
Sleeping alone dreaming so prettily
Waiting always waiting for tonight
To open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like starts to follow
No one knows, no one sees
As I cut your throat
Let the river flow down so... slow
Today the sun sank quietly
Across your back and through your eyes
Drowning in your dilated stare
England’s dreaming land conceals
Our sliding bodies as i steal
Every honeysuckle scented breath
You open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like stars to follow
No one knows and no one sees
As I cut your throat let the river flow
Down slow
All the time
Through your eyes
Breaking every life
Stopping every moment in time
But never saving your soul
Through your eyes
Breaking every moment
Stopping every movement inside
And never saving your soul
I see you are beautiful across the lives
and through your skin
I spy you are beautiful inside
With every hungry bite I take
Your frozen body shake shake shakes
Gasping for breath
Gasping for breath
So deliciously pale in your moment of death
You open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like stars to follow
No one knows and
No one sees
As I cut your throat
Let the river flow...flow....flow...flow...flow...flow...flow...flow
