Her Heaven
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thoughts that were dawning and falling outside,
The life she was leading, the people she knew,
The things that she loved, and the people she was married to.
To be free, I see your hands, Take these things away from me.
To be free, So I can see the sun.
Everything she'd grown for, everything she was leaving for.
And learned how to see, with ice in her eyes,
Learned how to call, and smile with surprise.
To be free, I see your hands, Take these things away from me.
To be free, So I can see the sun.
To be free, To leave my soul, Break me down and carry me,
To be free, to feel the warmth burning me.
A line formed between her Heaven and her sins,
I'll never ever dream again as long as I'm with him,
But she knew she'd never leave alone, And never feel within,
That anything he could know could ever bring her back again.
To be free, I see your hands, Take these things away from me.
To be free, So I can see the sun.
To be free, To leave my soul, Break me down and carry me,
To be free, to feel the warmth burning me.
In the song "Her Heaven," Nosferatu explores the themes of desire for freedom and the struggle with relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling stuck in a life that does not bring her happiness. The opening verse talks about a male character who appears to have insight into the singer's thoughts and feelings. He sees how she lives her life, the people she loves, and the person she is married to. The character wants to break away from all of this and be free.
The chorus reflects these feelings of wanting to break free. The singer sees the hands that could free her from this life and take away everything that is holding her back. She wants to feel the warmth of the sun and escape from the darkness of her current situation. The second verse talks about how the singer knows how to dream and become everything she wants to be. However, her relationship is like a line between her heaven and her sins. She knows she will never leave alone because she is stuck in this cycle of wanting to break free but not being able to.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is trapped in a loveless marriage and, despite her dreams, does not have the strength to leave her husband. She dreams of being free, but her thoughts and feelings are always conflicted. The call to be free is strong, but there is a realization that she may never find happiness unless she leaves, which is a daunting and scary prospect. The song touches upon themes of being stuck in a painful cycle of unhappy relationships, the desire for freedom, and the difficulties of breaking away from what one knows.

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
