First off, one of my favorite Atmosphere songs, I wish more people would comment on it!
Pretty sure that the correct lyrics are actually “Heaven won’t wait let me fly way, get in my way everyday.”... instead of what was written above.
The meaning behind this song is apparent- Slug feeling stuck in a type of dystopia and stuck with himself, but wants nothing more than to escape. I think he's saying that we all do our best to cope with life and this society, so we shouldn't judge one other.
"Not every pony grows up to be a Pegasus
You gotta let people be hypocrites,
Count your blessings and mind your business.”
I've also always loved the line:
"Here kitty kitty can't train that fox, must be drinkin' that name brand scotch."
At first, I thought that Slug was referring to a woman or himself, and how alcohol ( like he talks about in the beginning of the song) is making himself or the mysterious "she" in his life act hostile, or out of line. But after what the person above me said about this line, i'm more curious about it.
And lastly, just a thought about the hook, I think that he creates a more ideal place to be in his head, which he refers to as heaven ( another location, time, or mental state) He could also be literally meaning heaven. But he can’t get to this place because he’s stuck, the sun in his face — which is whatever keeps him confined to this depressing place he's confined to. Although he makes the sun blinding him sound like a negative factor in his life,it could be something good in his life if he's referring to heaven in a literal sense. The only way to escape this miserable life would be through death, in which the sun in his face might be one of the blessings in his life — possibly his son.
Just trying to dig a little deeper to see if there's more to this song and hope more people comment on it!
