Heaven Is Closed

Willie Nelson

Transposer:

Intro: Heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am So many people well it sure is lonely Who even gives a damn? I hear someone callin’ "Come in from the craziness" But there ain’t nobody around Heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am verse 1 Heaven left for California on a midnight plane Hell stayed behind so I wouldn’t be lonely For reasons that’s hard to explain Could it be hell is heaven and that heaven is hell And each one are both the same thing? Well I hope heaven finds what she’s lookin’ for And that hell treats us both just the same Heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am So many people well it sure is lonely Who even gives a damn? I hear someone callin’ "Come in from the craziness" But there ain’t nobody around Heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am Bridge Let’s burn one for those that’s livin’ in hell Let’s burn one for those who think they’re in heaven Burn one for everyone in the whole world And anyone stuck in-between Heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am So many people well it sure is lonely Who even gives a damn? I hear someone callin’ "Come in from the craziness" But there ain’t nobody around Heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am Yeah heaven is closed and hell’s overcrowded So I think I think I’ll just stay where I am

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désespoir et de confusion sur le destin après la mort, avec l'idée que ni le paradis ni l'enfer ne semblent offrir des réponses satisfaisantes. L’artiste se retrouve dans un état d'incertitude, préférant rester là où il est plutôt que de chercher une échappatoire dans des promesses qui semblent vaines. Il évoque une solitude palpable, même au milieu de tant de monde, et fait référence à ceux qui luttent, que ce soit dans la souffrance de l'enfer ou dans l'illusion du paradis. Le contexte reflète une lutte personnelle, où l'idée de bien et de mal se brouille et où la quête de sens semble perdue. Cela soulève des questions sur la vie et la mort, et sur ce que ces concepts signifient réellement pour chacun d'entre nous.
