The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Heaven Or Las Vegas" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In the song "Heaven Or Las Vegas," The Weeknd sings about how the love and passion he feels for a girl eclipse everything else in his life, even religious beliefs.

The opening lines, "I'm paying for all of the sins of my father, / So I thank him for you," can be interpreted as a reference to the idea of original sin and punishment for it. The lyrical hero may consider his love for this girl a kind of redemption or a gift received for the suffering he has endured.

The phrase "My serotonin's about to run out, / Girl, it's 'cause of you" indicates that this relationship causes the hero strong emotional excitement bordering on addiction. He is ready for anything for the sake of this love, even to "kiss [her] feet."

The chorus, "They say they want heaven, / They say they need God. / I say I got heaven, / I say I am God," is a manifesto of egocentrism and hedonism. The lyrical hero puts his love and his own feelings above any religious dogma. He found his "heaven" in the arms of his beloved and does not need any other god but her.

I'm paying for all my father's sins

So I will thank him for you

I'm a thank him for you

My serotonin's got a while to go

Girl, it's gone cause of you

It's been gone cause of you

They say, they want heaven

They say, they want God

I say, I got heaven

Well I say, I am God

I never prayed a moment in my life

Girl I'm rewarded with you

I've been rewarded with you

So baby let me kiss your inner thigh

Let me kiss it for you

I can kiss it for you

They say, they want heaven

They say, they want God

I say, I have heaven

I say, I am God
