Journey
Five Minutes in Heaven: Love's Bittersweet Canvas
Lyrics
Five minutes in heaven
Expresses a short duration of bliss or happiness
Is this all that we get, what a way to go
Reflects disappointment about the brevity of happiness experienced
Five minutes in heaven
Repetition of the fleeting nature of happiness
Breathe that scream into me, what a sad little show
Suggests absorbing or internalizing pain or sorrow
It feels like love
Describes a feeling of genuine love
Not some rigged up holiday
Contrasts true love with superficial celebrations or occasions
Where I believe in somebody who can bring me down again
Expresses distrust in someone capable of causing emotional harm
It feels like love
Reiterates the genuine sensation of love
Is this how you make me pay
Questioning if suffering is a consequence of love
Branding me with deep cuts that will never go away
Conveys lasting emotional scars caused by someone
Five minutes in heaven
Continued reference to the briefness of happiness
Did you stage this yourself, every twist and turn
Suggests manipulation or orchestration of events
Five minutes in heaven
Applauds the intricacy of the orchestrated situation
What a masterpiece, will we ever learn
Raises the question of learning from repeated experiences
It feels like love?
Raises doubt about whether the experiences are genuinely love
Five minutes in heaven
Reiteration of the fleeting happiness, implying dissatisfaction
Is this all that we get, just a shadow, just a screen
Expresses disappointment or disillusionment with what is obtained
Five minutes in heaven
Suggests creating happiness only to destroy it intentionally
Would you paint that smile made for me, just to wipe it clean
Implies falseness or manipulation of joy to cause pain later
It feels like love?
Raises doubt again about whether the experience is genuine love
