Heaven On High Street East es la narrativa de hechos que no son sino la comprobación respecto al viejo adagio que reza indicando que mientras más clara es la foto más oscuro es el negativo, siendo así que en ocasiones es mayor la disonancia fuera del marco, que la aparente armonía en la imagen.
This song also specifically explores the contrast between real life and the sanitized, sugar-coated and idealized version of reality depicted on social media, and how this is used to intensify the psychological torment and gaslighting prevalent in abusive relationships. From its lush beginnings to its intense finale, ‘Heaven On High Street East’ is a brutal exposition of the grim reality behind the net curtains of suburbia and the superficial facade presented by social media.

Esta canción también explora específicamente el contraste entre la vida real y la versión higienizada, edulcorada e idealizada de la realidad representada en las redes sociales, y cómo se utiliza para intensificar el tormento psicológico y el gaslighting que prevalece en las relaciones abusivas. Desde sus exuberantes comienzos hasta su intenso final, ‘Heaven On High Street East’ es una exposición brutal de la sombría realidad detrás de las cortinas en los suburbios y la fachada superficial presentada por las redes sociales.
Weimar, Heaven On High Street East…
He’s got last night’s domestic row
Ringing in his head
Told his friends he can’t stand to go home
Because she fills him with dread
When he arrives home
Greets her with a smile and a kiss
Let’s put the dinner on
Aren’t we lucky to be living in bliss
But he doesn’t like the way she’s chopping the onions
Razes her to the ground
With the venom of the death stalker scorpion
She’s run off upstairs
He spends the evening swilling his guts with the beer
She comes down, says sorry, he bombs her with love
Makes her feel reveredAnd he says “Come over here my darling”
Gets a selfie of the two of them together
To show the social media world his heavenHis heaven
His heaven on
Welcome to his personal heaven
His heaven
His heaven on High Street EastHe posts the first status update of this weekend
Can’t wait to show it all off
To all his beloved friends
A photo of the latest nuts and bolts he’s obtained
To put up another shelf in this blessed domain
How impressive!
Makes sure to centre the camera
On the photo on the mantlepiece
Of him and her on their first date
Now she can’t shatter the peace
Spends the whole afternoon berating her
A two-hour monologue
On how she’s letting him down
On how she’s scaring the visitors offSpends the evening passed out inebriated
It don’t matter as long as he’s endeavoured
To show the social media world his heavenHis heaven
His heaven on
Welcome to his personal heaven
His heaven
His heaven on High Street EastWell she’s finally walked out
She’d had enough
Left him alone
With all his debt and his drugs
He drowns his woes, orders pizza, passes out
Misses the delivery
Because he’s an unconscious wreck on the couch
Sounds off to mummy
She sings his praise
“You’re a messianic saint, besides she’ll be easy to replace”
He goes to work, slogs for eight hours straight
Shows the world that his paradise cannot possibly abateJust one day single but his dead-end job
Is the epitome of heaven
Social media, welcome to his heavenHis heaven
His heaven on
Welcome to his personal heaven
His heaven
His heaven on High Street East
His heaven
His heaven on
Welcome to his personal heaven
His heaven
His heaven on High Street EastWelcome to his heaven
His heaven on
Welcome to his heaven
Social media
Welcome to his heaven
You might be lost, but he has found his heaven
His heaven on
Welcome to his heaven
Social media
Welcome to his heavenOn the tenth level depth of Hell
