"Heaven" is a misty ballad that captures the everyday charm of sharing a life under one roof. Mitski's vocals carry the tale of discovering joy within the arms of a lover yet acknowledging the fragile nature of their union. Your low warm voice Curses as you find the string To strike within me That rings out a note Heard in heaven The relationship isn't without its flaws - her partner's words striking chords within her - yet these verbal clashes seem to echo even in heavenly realms. Perhaps this suggests that the pain serves as a testament to the profound and genuine depth of love's emotions.
On the next verse, the scene takes a brighter hue as Mitski sketches a portrait of serene harmony. Now I bend like a willow Thinking of you Like a murmuring' brook Curvin' about you Drawing from nature's embrace, Mitski portrays a deep bond, a union of heart and soul. She relishes the lingering taste of coffee, a cup her partner set aside, a sip that becomes a memory of them. As I sip on the rest of the coffee you left A kiss left of you
In the last verse, Mitski faces an impending shadow that remains unnamed. The impending trouble races forward, much like an aimless storm. Hear the storm Dances outside Amid the romantic theme of the song, an undercurrent of unease takes hold; whatever they've nurtured might meet a challenge once they venture beyond their haven. The future's shrouded, unclear, a mystery. And the dark awaits us All around the corner But here in our place We have for the day So can they hold tight and soak up those precious pockets of solitude, wrapped up in the warmth of togetherness and the comfort of their shared domestic heaven?
