Closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven: Revelations of a Quirky Soul
Lyrics
I don't like humus, I hate long lines
Dislike for humus and annoyance at waiting in long lines
Nosy neighbors and the nation blind
Feeling bothered by intrusive neighbors and a nation that seems unaware
Chirpy news anchors alter my mood
News anchors' cheerful demeanor affects mood negatively
I'm offended by buzz words like awesome and dude
Displeasure towards trendy words like "awesome" and "dude"
I look like a train wreck, I feel like a blob
Feeling physically and emotionally exhausted or unattractive
Till you get to know me, you may think I'm a snob
Potential misperception as a snob until better understood
But I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
Expressing a sense of spiritual elevation or contentment
I don't eat sushi, I don't smoke grass
Personal choices including avoidance of sushi and drugs
I don't wear pajamas, I don't drive fast
Disregard for casual attire and speeding while driving
I hate idle gossip and tassle shoes
Dislike for idle talk and flashy footwear
Slick politicians, give me the blues
Feeling disheartened by deceitful politicians
I don't ride in limos and I can't play golf
Preference for simple transportation and lack of interest in golf
I don't own a rifle that will blow your head off
Non-possession of a firearm used for violent purposes
But I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
Reiteration of feeling spiritually fulfilled or content
I'm riding that way from cradle to grave
Life's journey from birth to death
I'm learning to feel my hands on the wheel
Learning to take control and responsibility in life
I love my friends, I love my wife
Love and appreciation for family and close relationships
Four little babies are the light of my life
Children bring immense joy and meaning to life
I love Sissy Spacek, I love Guy Clark
Admiration for certain personalities like Sissy Spacek and Guy Clark
All the biscuits and gravy I can eat with a fork
Enjoyment of simple pleasures like biscuits and gravy
I don't wanna be famous, who gives a damn?
Disinterest in seeking fame, prioritizing personal happiness
I just wanna be happy whoever I am
Desire for contentment and acceptance of self
And I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
Reiteration of feeling spiritually fulfilled or content
I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been
-Closer to heaven
Emphasis on feeling closer to a spiritual or emotional fulfillment
Closer to heaven
Reiteration of feeling closer to a spiritual or emotional fulfillment
