Heaven and a Star
Crazy Love's Battle: A Poetic Struggle for Redemption and Justice
Lyrics
A shotgun in an alley opened up his chest
A violent incident occurred in an alley, causing severe injury to someone.
Through the back screen door, he just received a text
The injured person received a text message while inside a house, perhaps unaware of the message due to the situation.
Didn't say a word, didn't leave a note
The injured person didn't communicate verbally nor left a written message.
Just a twitch of his finger, that was all she wrote
The injury or harm was caused by a slight movement or action, indicating a fatal consequence.
Pray there will always be
Expressing hope for a constant existence of a place of peace or happiness.
A heaven and a star for him
Wishing for a "heaven" and a guiding "star" for the person previously mentioned.
A heaven and a star for him
Reiteration of the desire for a positive afterlife or guiding light for the mentioned individual.
Liquor bottle high numbs the shame, reminds
Using alcohol to numb feelings of disgrace, serving as a reminder.
Came a little too close to rock bottom this time
Almost reaching the lowest point of a difficult situation.
So now I'm holding hands with strangers
Seeking comfort or connection with unfamiliar people due to the circumstances.
Repeating the verses of a healing prayer
Reciting phrases or prayers aimed at healing.
Pray there will always be
Expressing hope for a constant existence of a place of peace or happiness.
A heaven and a star for me
Wishing for a "heaven" and a guiding "star" for oneself.
A heaven and a star for me
Reiteration of the desire for a positive afterlife or guiding light for oneself.
They'll laugh as they bathe in the blood of our kids
Referencing the powerful individuals or groups who profit from others' suffering.
Those robber baron oil royalists
Describing those who exploit resources and wealth at the expense of others.
They hide in billionaire bunkers while the earth burns down
Highlighting the contrast between the elite's security and the world's destruction.
And roll around in piles of money underground
Emphasizing the excessive wealth and detachment from societal issues.
Pray there will always be
Expressing hope for a constant existence of a place of peace or happiness for a collective "us".
A heaven and a star for us
Wishing for a "heaven" and a guiding "star" for the collective group.
A heaven and a star for us
Reiteration of the desire for a positive afterlife or guiding light for the collective group.
We gotta fight with Crazy Love
Encouraging a passionate fight against injustice or adversity through love and music as weapons, repeating the notion to arm oneself metaphorically with these tools for resistance.
Arm up, with songs to sing
-We gotta fight with Crazy Love
-Arm up, with songs to sing
