Heaven Coming Down Lyrics

With nothing to do, you'd waste away
Obscured in exile
They've witnessed the times
You've gone astray
And whose fault now
You're thinking

There's nothing to prove
(Snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby)

And it feels, now
Just like heaven's coming down

So strange are the ways
They all have changed
Still life, it stayed the same
A break from the past
Could make it last
Ah, maybe just a little longer

Now there's nothing to prove
(Snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby)

And it feels, now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground

You surrender
Love under will
Rest assured, baby
You're adored

Oh, and it feels, now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground

These signs, this fate
Takes a path you didn't choose
Stay strong, keep faith
There's a change that's coming through

Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love

I know Jeff likes to use occult symbolism a lot, and the three words 'love under will' have a very suggestive meaning, as part of the statement 'Love is the Law, Love under Will', which is part of the Law of Thelema, or True Will. This is Aleister Crowley's turf.

Totally. The soul shakes free of the conscience when True Will, which is the aim of Thelema, is realised and acted upon.

"These signs, this fate Takes a path you didn't choose"

Because your True Self chose before you, as a separated consciousness, came into being. Your consciousness is a way of separating your True Self from its innate divinity, so as to experience creation and the wonder of Being, because it can't from its natural point of view; that is, omniscience.

Was Jeff a Thelemite? Are there other references to Thelema in his lyrics?

This is a tricky one. The imagery's very vivid and pleasantly haphazard, but, the meaning's fairly simple, if not easy to describe. It sounds as though the singer's talking about/talking to a person who has fallen into their 'normal' life to the point of being locked in it. Acceptance bringing defeat, that sort of thing, chained by their history. The 'narrator', in this case, is describing the sort of change it would take - namely, finding love in a new direction - in order to break free from the norm. It almost guarentees a complete change of the person in question and their overall way of life, but, he's promising that it will become a change for the best. "Heaven Coming Down", in this case, is the proverbial 'bliss' falling onto the person all at once, crashing and painful, but in the end, much better than he/she has been living.

very good explanation.

good song, but theres a mistake in the lyrics.

"A message from the crowd To the shore..."

should be:

"snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby"

This is the first song I remember hearing when I was a kid. My mom is a huge Tea Party fan. Beautiful.

This song is absolutely beautiful. The arpeggios in the guitar almost make you feel like you're in free fall and never want to come down.

I remember seeing Tea Party at the Friendship Festival 2003. The moment they started playing Heaven Coming Down it started to pour. As if God was saying "I heard you, man." This is a song that I like to play when I need that lift. And it is a constant reminder of that good time.

If you listen to the words, regardless of the use of the occult references or just the broken meter of the lyrics, the title "Heaven Coming Down" just implies being showered with grace. The rest of the song is related to rebirth. But what's more important is that if you close your eyes and don't even listen to the lyrics, you feel the meaning.

Anyone agree or dod I just sound like a fanatic?
