Heaven

Bazzi's song 'Heaven' delves into the intoxicating allure of a carefree, hedonistic lifestyle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where the protagonist is captivated by a 'beautiful soul' who is 'out of control.' This person embodies a sense of freedom and rebellion, living life without concern for societal norms or judgments. The use of 'powder and pills' suggests a dive into substance use, highlighting the pursuit of thrill and escape from reality. The phrase 'it's a girls' world and everybody's in it' could be interpreted as a nod to the influence and power of women in this hedonistic setting, where everyone is drawn into their orbit.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'feels like heaven,' emphasizes the euphoric sensation the protagonist experiences while watching this person move and dance. This repeated line underscores the idea that, despite the chaos and potential self-destruction, there is a momentary bliss that feels almost divine. The protagonist acknowledges the fleeting nature of this feeling, admitting that they are 'past the ceiling,' suggesting they've gone beyond the point of no return in their indulgence.

In the latter part of the song, Bazzi touches on themes of authenticity and self-acceptance. The lines 'at least I'm not tryin' to be somethin' I'm not' and 'I'm just happy you are who you are' reflect a sense of contentment in embracing one's true self, even in a world that often values superficiality. The song concludes with a sense of surrender to the moment, as the protagonist admits they should 'slow down' but ultimately chooses to forgo self-control. 'Heaven' captures the duality of euphoria and escapism, wrapped in a seductive, almost ethereal soundscape.
