Heaven Knows
Reflecting on Redemption: Life's Burdens and Seeking Change
Lyrics
Seems like a life of glamour picking up and putting down
Reflecting on a life filled with transient moments of success and detachment.
My conscience is a heavy burden I must carry now
Acknowledging a burdensome conscience that accompanies the speaker.
The good in me mends the broken heart I broke with callused hands
Expressing a desire for redemption, trying to mend a broken heart caused by the speaker's own actions.
But has my time all slipped away like grains of sand?
Questioning whether the speaker's time has irreversibly passed, akin to slipping grains of sand.
Like grains of sand
Emphasizing the transient nature of time, repeated for emphasis.
Like grains of sand
-I bend but I have yet to break the levy seems to hold
Describing resilience in the face of challenges, bending but not breaking.
A paradise is waiting and this game is getting old
Yearning for a better existence, feeling that the current situation has become tiresome.
I keep the memories but only for the lessons learned
Retaining memories only for the lessons they provide.
A sacred guiding light towards a life I've yet to earn
Referring to a guiding light that leads towards a future the speaker has yet to earn.
Where I once was I once was blind
Acknowledging past blindness or ignorance.
Now my eyes they are open wide
Expressing newfound awareness, open-eyed and perceptive.
Now I see the error of my ways
Recognizing errors made in the past.
Through it all will I change?
Pondering whether the speaker will undergo change despite past mistakes.
Heaven Knows I keep my secrets
Asserting the speaker's intention to keep secrets and establish boundaries, reflecting on lost love and a sense of running out of time.
Heaven Knows I draw the line
-Love was lost in seas of regret
-Heaven Knows I'm out of time

Now my eyes they are open wide
-Now I see the error of my ways
-Through it all will I change?
-Where I once was I once was blind
Continuing the reflection on personal growth and change in the face of past blindness.
Now my eyes they are open wide
