The National – Heavenfaced Lyrics 11 years ago
This song has so much emotion to it it makes me cry. I think it's about someone who has a very small amount of time to live...like a deadly form of cancer. They give you very strong drugs for these kinds of cancer. "How completely high was I" This person is deeply in love and don't really want the person to suffer with them, but they still believe they can one day be happy together in heaven. They know death is coming so they are scared and upset causing them to be "Heavenfaced" She believes he could some how pull through "She’s a griever, my believer" but it's not a "fever" or curable issue it's a "freezer" or Death. Were your body is put after you die to preserve it before burial. My brother is dying from liver cancer, he's also in love so maybe I'm just comparing it to the emotions I'm seeing.
