HEAVEN BELONGS TO YOU
BEDROOM - BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Immersed myself in discontent
Hoping you can only repent these things
It smells like ginger

What you mean, I ain't green like Timothy?
Dead leaves in the breeze, sweep your chimneys
See the boy tried me, now the boy deceased
They put the blame on me, but hey it wasn't me

Like God can't judge me, but only God can see
I ain't bein' judged, no one judgin' me
I walk on water, pain and torture, what I bring to these
And there's a war in my head, just like the Middle East
And I'm the flurry, vision blurry, see soliloquies
I didn't get the memo, didn't CC me
Only CC me when I'm doin' burglaries
And if it weren't on TV you wouldn't have ever seen

Fuck God, I'ma dog backwards
Backwards, I don't smoke Backwoods
What you saying? Why you praying for forgiveness?
When you wanna get money, get them riches
Like what you saying? Why you praying for forgiveness?
Whole lot of shit and some bitches, like
(Mhh, mhh, yeah, fuck it, yeah, yeah)

Break the law, break the law
Break the law, break the law

Break the law, break the law
Break the law, break the law

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Heaven Belongs To You" by BROCKHAMPTON brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a longing for redemption. The singer immerses themselves in their discontent, hoping that others can also recognize their wrongdoing and seek forgiveness. The lyric "It smells like ginger" could be metaphorical, implying that there is a certain aroma or indication in the air that reveals hidden truths or truths that are disguised.

The next few lines continue this theme of seeking redemption and acknowledging one's actions. The reference to not being "green like Timothy" suggests that the singer is not naive or oblivious, contrasting themselves with someone who is inexperienced or unaware. The mention of dead leaves in the breeze and sweeping chimneys could symbolize the act of cleaning up past mistakes, while also implying that someone has faced consequences for their actions. The line "Like God can't judge me, but only God can see" suggests that the singer believes they are being unfairly blamed or judged by others when only God truly knows their intentions and heart.

The second verse explores the singer's defiance and questioning of religious beliefs. The lyric "Fuck God, I'ma dog backwards" challenges traditional notions of faith, possibly implying a rejection of religious institutions or a personal struggle with spirituality. The mention of not smoking Backwoods, a type of cigar, suggests that the singer is not following societal expectations or indulging in typical vices. The repetition of the question "Why you praying for forgiveness?" questions the motive behind seeking forgiveness when the desire for wealth and material possessions seems to take precedence. The reference to "whole lot of shit and some bitches" implies a focus on materialistic desires and instant gratification.

The final repetition of "Break the law, break the law" in the chorus suggests a rebellious or non-conformist attitude. It can be interpreted as a rejection of societal norms and expectations, preferring to go against the grain. This phrase may also signify a desire for freedom or liberation from constraints, both in terms of personal actions and societal constructs.

Overall, "Heaven Belongs To You" reflects themes of discontent, seeking redemption, questioning religious beliefs, and a rebellious spirit. It portrays a complex narrative that addresses personal struggles, societal expectations, and the ongoing quest for personal fulfillment.
