Interpretation
The lyrics of the song "How Can Heaven Love Me?" by
Sarah Brightman are about a person who has turned away from the grace of heaven and is now seeking answers. The text talks about how we have fallen from the beauty of heaven and are plunging into darkness while hearing the call of the abyss. We are described as falling stars from golden clouds and are at the mercy of angry angels. Although we were once sent from heaven as bringers of light, we are now bound to the earth and can no longer fly.
The text poses the question of how heaven can love us when we have fallen so far. It is also mentioned that we loved in a time before the fall. Loneliness now embraces us as we wonder if this is truly heaven. The text also mentions the struggle with the gods for our dreams and how paradise falls and eternity screams.
The text also uses a verse in German that says the world is a gateway to a thousand silent and cold deserts and that someone who has lost what you have lost finds no refuge anywhere.
Overall, the song lyrics express the confusion and search for love and redemption as we find ourselves in a world marked by darkness and loneliness.
