Heaven Sent
Scarve Lyrics

The lyrics in Scarve's "Heaven Sent" evoke strong emotions of abandonment, loss, pain, and chaos. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been left alone in the midst of chaotic situations, clueless of the path to take, and feeling lost. The use of the phrase "highest peaks of chaos" to describe the situation highlights the intensity of the experience. The next lines "A loss so overshadowed, so in vain, An atom spiraling through dark years of pain" reinforce the feeling of dejection and despair. The singer is spiraling through intense pain and cannot see a way out.

As the song progresses, the singer seems to find comfort in the pain and embraces it. The lines "Gracefully I am devoured, I see her break and crush and bastardize, Sudden escape from the upheaval" suggest that the singer watches as someone or something breaks and crushes. And the sudden escape draws blood. The lines "Leaves like porcupines pierce her skin, Soft, warm juices pour on my palms" describe the blood that flows and is held in the singer's hand. They find the entire experience overwhelming and cannot comprehend it: "Her contagious sensual mystique overwhelms, I can't assimilate, just cannot comprehend." It's an intriguing paradox, the singer is both repelled and attracted by the pain at the same time.

The last few lines of the song seem to describe a newfound sense of control and balance. The singer finds respite in someone who is described as "Essence Heaven-Sent" - a stabilizing influence that makes everything right. The lines "Outbalanced and painless, I sparkle with my empress, In an Essence Heaven-Sent. (I simply long to feel, What's too true to be real)" suggest that the singer is now at peace, balanced, and in control of their life. The song ends with an assertion of sorts, the singer wants to face their demons and break the inherent lies, but not alone - they want to be with their "empress", control their lives, and unravel the vast intrigues.
