Heaven Is Waiting
The Danse Society Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching the same things
Too many times
Looking through distorted eyes
So many things try to learn
But it's a feeling I despise

Lose all sense
Sense of reason
Sense of hurt
Sense of pain
So many things to try to learn
Help me break, break this chain

Searching for something
Heaven is waiting
Wanting it all now (heaven is waiting)
Losing everything (heaven is waiting)
Waiting is hell (heaven is waiting)

Lose myself in words of steel
This sensation I can't hide
So many things to try to learn
Still the feeling burns inside

Searching for something
Heaven is waiting
Wanting it all now (heaven is waiting)
Losing everything (heaven is waiting)
Waiting is hell (heaven is waiting)

Searching for something
Heaven is waiting
Wanting it all now (heaven is waiting)
Losing everything (heaven is waiting)
Waiting is hell (heaven is waiting)

Watching the same things
Too many times
Watching the same things
Watching the same things

Searching for something
Heaven is waiting
Wanting it all now (heaven is waiting)




Losing everything (heaven is waiting)
Waiting is hell (heaven is waiting)

Overall Meaning

The Danse Society's song Heaven is Waiting is a melancholic and reflective piece that explores the themes of monotony, disillusionment, and hope. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been watching the same things too many times and that their perception of the world has become distorted. The feeling of wanting to break free from this monotonous existence is palpable, but the singer feels trapped in a cycle of learning things that they despise. The loss of sense, reason, hurt, and pain suggests that the singer is experiencing emotional and mental distress as a result of being trapped in this cycle.


The chorus of the song, "Heaven is Waiting," brings a sense of hope and possibility to the otherwise bleak lyrics. The singer is searching for something, and this search leads to a longing for a better life or a better version of themselves. The repetition of the lines "losing everything" and "waiting is hell" suggests that the singer is aware of the cost of making changes and that the waiting can be equally torturous.


Overall, the song explores the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of monotony and the desire to break free from it. The hope for a better life or a better version of oneself is present, but there is also an acknowledgment of the cost and difficulty of making those changes.
