Heaven Send

Devin had a good bit to say about this song in the discrography section of his website (under the album 'Ki'):

"The lyrics in 'Heavens End' I found (to my surprise) were very against religion. Not against the sense of infinity or spiritual connection, definitely not atheist, but angry at organized religion. The cruelty and divisiveness of it. Seeing the environment and life from a sense of unity stemming from my experiences recently with different perspectives really made me surprise myself at how bitter I'd become towards it all. I have always been kind of 'on the fence' about religion, so when Ki finally let’s it rip on Heavens End, I found myself shocked that a lot of my anger was actually directed towards THAT as a theme. It was so typical, yet it seemed understandable… that anyone or any organization can claim ownership of the things that I've always felt profoundly attracted to, yet more than anything, just happy to be a part of, seemed the height of arrogance, and above all…exclusionary and really mean spirited. The experience made me realize during the process that 'perhaps the anger within me is not directed at anything other than a misdirection of spiritual intensity'… people had been born and had died in my life, I had hurt my friends and band mates, I was confused, but it seemed that through the purging of this I was coming to some conclusions, and purging some baggage was necessary. Religion was first on the list."

Gotta say i was almost positive they were saying "Somatic" not Semitic?

Seems to be about finding yourself. Catchy chorus and a great song

I think it's not only about finding yourself but somewhat related to the rapture or salvation according to christianity. I'm just not sure of if it's about being left behind to "burn", "How could Heaven be so frenetic?" (It's not frenetic..)

or about being part of the rapture: "I'll close tight and go Like there's nobody listening..."

In any case, it's still another awesome song by Devin.

Also by the first verse it can mean to imagine what it will be like..

Maybe even feeling like it's too late for salvation.

He's actually saying "heaven's end", not "heaven send". The song title was just mislabeled on the CD, which is why it's the name of the song.

Just want to comment on this bit:

"How could Heaven be so frenetic? Oh you've got it! without fanatic hold to body How your Semitic hold to God it seems so funny..."

I believe he is expressing frustration that people tend to hold on to a specific religious groups / sects / dogmas - specifically those who practice Abrahamic religions ( so, Christianity basically. He is from Canada :P ). Some Christians believe in a kind of dualism - the importance of the body is lowered. Surely if they can manage that, they could obtain a "wider" spiritual outlook, but that isn't what happens.
