Messy in Heaven Lyrics

I heard Jesus did cocaine on a night out Eyes wide open dilated it he's fine now And if his father ever finds out then he'd probably knock his lights out Gets a little messy in heaven Gets a little messy in heaven Bare foot on the pavement He was never complacent Held his ground for the town and the statement leader Never backs out of the arrangement Speaks out to the whole crowd when he saves them He was the one that needed saving No he's low key crushed on the inside He gave his all and now he's breaking You can see it in his eyes I heard Jesus did cocaine on a night out Eyes wide open dilated it he's fine now And if his father ever finds out then he'd probably knock his lights out Gets a little messy in heaven Gets a little messy in heaven He's staying out on the weekdays weekends No sleep for the weak round here Going out getting lost in the deep end White lines never dried no tear She says no more no he says no less And the people wanna know where he goes next Mind of a saint so he knows best But he don't sleep nah he don't rest Turning water into wine That's mad that's mad Everybody always wants what he has Gets a little messy in heaven Gets a little messy in heaven I heard Jesus did cocaine on a night out Eyes wide open dilated it he's fine now And if his father ever finds out then he'd probably knock his lights out Gets a little messy in heaven Gets a little messy in heaven I heard Jesus did cocaine on a night out Eyes wide open dilated it he's fine now And if his father ever finds out then he'd probably knock his lights out Gets a little messy in heaven Gets a little messy in heaven...

Messy in Heaven - English Translation

Escuché que Jesús consumía cocaína en una noche de fiesta, Ojos abiertos, dilatados, está bien ahora. Y si su padre lo descubre, probablemente le apagaría los ojos. Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo, Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo. Descalzo sobre el pavimento, Nunca se conformó, Se mantuvo firme para la ciudad y el líder de la declaración, Nunca retrocede del acuerdo, Habla a toda la multitud cuando los salva, Él era quien necesitaba ser salvado, No, está profundamente herido en secreto, Dio todo de sí y ahora se rompe. Lo puedes ver en sus ojos, Escuché que Jesús consumía cocaína en una noche de fiesta, Ojos abiertos, dilatados, está bien ahora. Y si su padre lo descubre, probablemente le apagaría los ojos. Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo, Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo. Él permanece fuera los días de semana y fines de semana, Sin sueño para los débiles por aquí. Saliendo, perdiéndose en las profundidades, Líneas blancas nunca se secaron, sin lágrimas. Ella dice "no más", él dice "no menos", Y la gente quiere saber a dónde va después. Mente de un santo, así que sabe lo mejor, Pero no duerme, no descansa, Convierte el agua en vino, Eso es loco, eso es muy loco. Todos siempre quieren lo que tiene, Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo, Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo. Escuché que Jesús consumía cocaína en una noche de fiesta, Ojos abiertos, dilatados, está bien ahora. Y si su padre lo descubre, probablemente le apagaría los ojos. Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo, Se pone un poco desordenado en el cielo...

Meaning of Messy in Heaven

“Messy in Heaven” by Venbee and Goddard is a deceptively layered exploration of faith, rebellion, and the inherent contradictions within charismatic figures, particularly those who occupy positions of authority and spiritual leadership. The song’s initial shock value – the explicit claim that Jesus partook of cocaine – immediately throws the listener off balance, establishing a core tension between the expected image of divine purity and a shockingly human act of indulgence. This jarring juxtaposition isn't merely provocative; it serves as a potent metaphor for the messy reality beneath often idealized religious narratives. The repeated refrain, “Gets a little messy in heaven,” becomes an unsettling mantra, acknowledging that even figures revered for their righteousness are susceptible to temptation, vulnerability, and perhaps even genuine error. Goddard’s production, characterized by its hazy, almost dreamlike quality, amplifies this feeling of disorientation and invites the listener into a space where conventional religious dogma is questioned. The narrative itself centers around a figure – seemingly Jesus – who defies expectations: he's “never complacent,” “speaks out to the whole crowd,” yet simultaneously harbors a deep-seated sadness (“no he’s low key crushed on the inside”) and engages in reckless behavior, symbolized by the “white lines never dried no tear.” This internal conflict is further emphasized through his nocturnal habits – “no sleep for the weak round here” – suggesting a desperate attempt to escape the weight of responsibility and perhaps, a yearning for authentic experience. The line "Turning water into wine" isn’t presented as miraculous but rather as something “mad,” highlighting the potential for delusion or manipulation inherent in charismatic leadership. Venbee's vocals contribute significantly to this emotional landscape, shifting between moments of raw vulnerability and a detached coolness that mirrors the figure’s conflicting nature. Ultimately, the song isn’t an attack on faith itself, but a critical examination of power dynamics within religious institutions and a poignant recognition of the human fallibility at their core; it suggests that even salvation can be a messy, complicated affair.
