Heavy
Our Last Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
Wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can’t escape the gravity
I'm holding on why is everything so heavy?
Holding on to so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's
Bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid
But I’m pretty sure the world
Is out to get me
It’s not like I made the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I'm holding on why is everything so heavy?
Holding on to so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's
Bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything’s about me
I'm holding on why is everything so heavy?
Holding on so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's
Bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
The song "Heavy" by Our Last Night delves into the struggles of the mind when it becomes burdened with problems. The opening lyrics confess that the singer does not like their current mental state of stacking up unnecessary problems and desires to slow things down. However, there seems to be comfort in the panic, making it difficult to let go. The singer recognizes that driving themself crazy is simply due to being unable to escape gravity. This can be interpreted as being weighed down by the problems and feeling like there is no escape.
The chorus contains the key theme of the song as the phrase "Why is everything so heavy?" appears multiple times. It seems as if the singer is questioning why their life always has to feel this heavy and why they keep dragging around everything that brings them down. If they could let go, they would be set free but are unable to due to the weight they carry.
The second verse addresses how others may perceive those struggling with their mental state. The singer's paranoia may be misconstrued as being overly dramatic or attention-seeking, but the weight is overwhelming and not a choice. They recognize that they are not the center of the universe, but everything seems to revolve around them just the same. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the struggles of carrying so much weight and the desire to be set free. The final lines of the song reiterate the idea that the weight of the world is not solely about the singer but challenges the struggle of constantly feeling weighed down.

I don’t like my mind right now
I am discontent with the current state of my mental health
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
I am burdening myself with trivial issues
Wish that I could slow things down
I desire to decrease the speed of my life
Wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic
Though I want to relinquish control, I find solace in feeling anxious
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
I am causing my own frustration and distress
Thinking everything's about me
I am convinced that all situations revolve around me
'Cause I can’t escape the gravity
I am unable to break free from the weight of my own thoughts
I'm holding on why is everything so heavy?
I am grasping onto things despite feeling overwhelmed
Holding onto so much more than I can carry
I am carrying a burden that exceeds my capacity
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
I am holding onto things that are causing me to feel low
If I just let go, I'd be set free holding on
I believe that I would feel liberated if I could relinquish control

You believe that I am excessively anxious or suspicious
But I’m pretty sure the world is out to get me

It’s not like I made the choice to let my mind stay so fucking messy
I did not purposely allow my thoughts to become disorganized and chaotic
I know I'm not the center of the universe
I realize that I am not the most important aspect of existence
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
Despite my insignificance, I feel as though everything revolves around me
Why is everything so heavy?
Why does everything feel so burdensome and overwhelming?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why does everything feel so burdensome and overwhelming?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why does everything feel so burdensome and overwhelming?

Whenever I had felt depressed, lonely, neglected, sad, hopeless, guilty, I used to lie over my bed and then I started playing Chester's song and within the touch of his voice, I used to feel hopeful and happy. His songs had not only showed me how to break habits, how to resist myself from drug abuse or drinking alcohol, But His songs showed me the way of light. How to overcome, How to achieve anything, How to feel happy.
Yeh. I could not make friends at my school or coachings. Every one used to make fun of me. Within these 10 years I had lost many of my beloved people. 3 years ago, I lost my beloved cousin whom I used to recall as my sister. 4 Years ago, I lost Both of my Grandfathers. Not to mention, My favorite TV celebrities. But Chester's voice and his tremendous meaningful lyrics used to act like magical remedies for those scarces.
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything 'til I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today"
This song used to fill the gap of my loneliness and whenever I used listen to this song, I would find my cheek wet. Chester was like a member of my family. I had a plan to meet him one day. But that day had converted to a fairy tale. I lost him forever. Perhaps, From Outside everyone is thinking that I am happy and ok. But from inside, I am virtually empty now. Perhaps, No one will be able occupy his place, No one will be able to make comparision between themselves and Him. And while writting this post, I was crying like that 7 years old Saiful. 😭💔Why Chester Why? You could live for us. Millions of people like me loves you.
Your life was priceless to us.
You gave me the light
You touched my life,
Your legacy will be immortalized.
Rip Chester.
See You Again.

Trying not to cry, this song just has so much more meaning with what just happened 😢
Rest in Paradise, Chester Bennington ❤️

suicide is a non preventable death guys I'm sure people really cared.. but all the care in the world wont stop it if someone really cant get ontop of their feelings. You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink it, dont get so hung up on peoples decisions maybe just understand them no matter how fucked up they are.
Justin
Absolutely agree. It still gives me chills listening to it..
It was one of the reasons this was my first drum cover on YouTube.
