Only Heaven Knows
Ephemeral Echoes: Unveiling the Enigmatic Journey of 'Only Heaven Knows'
Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
I'm just a ghost, but I am more that you could ever know
Feeling like a ghost, a sense of detachment, and claiming to possess hidden depths beyond others' understanding
My body and soul, like you are more than I could ever be
Comparing one's own existence (body and soul) to another, acknowledging the complexity of the other person
But only heaven know the secrets of infinity, so
Only heaven knows the profound secrets of infinity, emphasizing the unknowable aspects of existence
Mummify me and put me to sleep
Expressing a desire to be preserved like a mummy and put to rest, possibly indicating a longing for peace or escape
Every night, every night
Repetition of the nightly ritual, singing a lullaby, going wild, and kissing oneself goodbye, suggesting a complex emotional state or inner struggle
I sing myself a lullaby
-Every night, every night
-I go wild on you
-Every night, every night
-I kiss myself goodbye
-I go wild
-I go wild on you
-I come alive only when the sky is bleeding
Feeling alive only in challenging or intense situations, metaphorically described as when the sky is bleeding
So derived from everything real and deceiving
Derived from both real and deceiving elements, indicating a sense of ambiguity or confusion in one's experiences
I look at you, you look at me
Observing someone, possibly a significant other, and acknowledging the limitations in understanding each other, with references to forbidden elements
And it's all I'm ever meant to see
-Forbidden melody, a rotten feast
-And I'm the center piece
-Every night, every night
Reiteration of the nightly ritual, suggesting a recurring emotional struggle or contemplation
I sing myself a lullaby
-Every night, every night
-I go wild on you
-Every night, every night
-I kiss myself goodbye
-I go wild
-I go wild on you
-Every night, every night
Further repetition of singing and kissing oneself goodnight, emphasizing the personal and introspective nature of the actions
I sing myself, I sing myself
-Every night, every night
-I kiss myself, I kiss myself goodnight
-Kiss myself goodbye
A final goodbye, possibly indicating a sense of resignation or acceptance
