Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I will thank him for you
I'ma thank him for you
My serotonin's got a while to go
Girl, it's gone 'cause of you
It's been gone 'cause of you
They say, they want heaven
I say, I got heaven
Well I say, I am God
I never prayed a moment in my life
Girl I'm rewarded with you
I've been rewarded with you
So baby let me kiss your inner thigh
Let me kiss it for you
I can kiss it for you
They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I have heaven
I say, I am God
In "Heaven Or Las Vegas," The Weeknd seems to be addressing some of the internal struggles he's been dealing with in his life. The song begins with the lines, "I'm paying for all my father's sins/So I will thank him for you/I'ma thank him for you." This suggests that the artist may be dealing with feelings of guilt or shame related to his past, and that his relationship with the woman he's addressing in the song serves as a source of redemption for those sins. He goes on to say that his serotonin has been depleted because of her, indicating that this relationship may be a tumultuous one.
Later in the song, The Weeknd addresses society's obsession with the idea of heaven or God, saying, "They say, they want heaven/They say, they want God/I say, I got heaven/Well I say, I am God." This could be interpreted as the artist feeling as though he is above societal norms and conventions, and that his relationship with this woman is more important than any religious or spiritual belief. The song ends with the lines "I never prayed a moment in my life/Girl I'm rewarded with you," suggesting that the artist finds solace in this relationship despite any internal struggles he may be dealing with.
