Lagu "Heat" yang dibawakan oleh mendiang David Bowie adalah sebuah eksplorasi mendalam mengenai identitas diri dan perjuangan menemukan siapa diri kita sebenarnya. Melalui liriknya yang puitis dan penuh metafora, lagu ini menelusuri hubungan yang kompleks dan sering kali bermasalah antara seorang individu dan figur otoritas, seperti seorang ayah. Bowie mengekspresikan perasaan kebingungan dan ketidakpastian tentang siapa dirinya, mempertanyakan identitasnya sendiri dan mempertanyakan motivasi di balik tindakan-tindakannya.
Heat Lyrics
David Bowie
Then we saw mission is dark
Trapped between the rocks
Blocking the waterfall
The songs of dust
The world would end
And night was always falling
The peacock in the snow
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
I can only love you by hating him more
That's not the truth, it's too big a word
He believed that love is theft
Love and war, the theft of love
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
But I am a seer, I am a liar
I am a seer, but I am a liar
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison.
Trapped between the rocks
Blocking the waterfall
The songs of dust
The world would end
And night was always falling
The peacock in the snow
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
I can only love you by hating him more
That's not the truth, it's too big a word
He believed that love is theft
Love and war, the theft of love
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
But I am a seer, I am a liar
I am a seer, but I am a liar
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison.
