The song "Heaven" by Hurts explores the theme of a passionate and intense love that feels both heavenly and hellish at the same time. The lyrics depict a place that is close to nowhere, where the narrator is lifted off the ground and feels like they are in heaven when in the arms of their loved one. The line "So wrap your wings around, lay all over me and cast away my doubt" suggests a desire for the person to provide comfort and security. The chorus raises the question of whether this intense love is a heavenly or hellish experience. The narrator can't determine the true nature of their relationship when they are together. It's a mixed and confusing feeling that both tempts and empties their heart. The lyrics also mention seeking strength and shelter underneath the loved one's "shroud," symbolizing protection and refuge. The desire for the love to last forever is expressed by wearing a heavy crown, which suggests a sense of commitment and responsibility. The repeated lines "No matter where I run, there's something about your love" imply that the intensity and power of this love follow the narrator wherever they go. They question what they have become under the influence of this love and how it has caused them to lose their mind. Overall, the song "Heaven" portrays a complex, passionate, and tumultuous love that both uplifts and troubles the narrator. The conflicting emotions of heaven and hell, as well as the uncertainty of the relationship, create a sense of longing, desire, and confusion throughout the song.
