HEAVEN'S TOO FAR
Journey of a Black Heart: Searching for Mercy Beyond the Horizon
Lyrics
Lessons in The Bible, but none to dry these hopeless tears
Struggling to find comfort despite knowledge from religious teachings.
I find blessings being an idol, but too much time to focus
Feeling blessed being admired but struggling with too much focus and attention.
And then I find truth inside the water, the truth feels like an ocean
Discovering profound truth within oneself, described as an expansive ocean.
I cast my message in a bottle
Symbolic act of sending a message, perhaps seeking connection or understanding.
And once the night has fallen I'll find...
Anticipation of finding solace or luck after the nightfall.
Mercy from the Lotto and I spend my winnings on hopeless gifts
Receiving mercy from chance, using winnings for gifts with no apparent purpose.
I find blessings from the bottle, not too many people to spend them with
Finding blessings in substances like alcohol, but lacking meaningful connections.
If I blew it all on The Gospel, would I hear God's voice and messages?
Contemplating the impact of investing in religious teachings on hearing divine messages.
If I knew what getting money would cost us...
Ruminating on the potential negative consequences of pursuing wealth.
Heaven's too far for a young black boy in a little black car and the gas too costly
Expressing the challenges faced by a young black individual in pursuing heavenly ideals.
The ticket train gone and the boat left dock and the flight too long
Describing missed opportunities and difficult journeys towards spiritual goals.
And I don't know what it cost me
Reflecting on the unknown personal costs associated with one's choices.
I could do a trade
Suggesting a willingness to trade personal emotions for artistic expression.
Take my little black heart, you could put it in a song
Offering one's heart to be expressed in a creative form, like a song.
You could dance on my coffin once the night has fallen
An unsettling image of dancing on a coffin, possibly referencing a dark destiny.
Once the night has fallen, I'll find...
Repeating the theme of seeking mercy after nightfall through chance.
Mercy from the Lotto and I spend my winnings on hopeless gifts
Reiterating the use of winnings for seemingly purposeless gifts.
I find blessings from the bottle, not too many people to spend them with
Finding solace in substances due to a lack of meaningful connections.
If I blew it all on The Gospel, would I hear God's voice and messages?
Questioning the impact of investing in religious teachings on divine communication.
If I knew what getting money would cost us...
Reflecting on the potential negative consequences of pursuing wealth.
Once the night has fallen, I'll find a message in the bottle
Reiterating the search for a message or meaning after nightfall.
Message in the bottle
Emphasizing the recurring theme of seeking a message in a bottle.
Message in the bottle
-Message in the bottle
