Locked Out of Heaven

The song describes a man who used to rule the world and have power but has now lost it all. He no longer sleeps with a woman and has lost the territories he once owned. He reminisces about how he used to feel powerful rolling the dice and seeing fear in his enemies' eyes, but now there is a new king. His castles and power were not as strong as he thought, built on pillars of salt and sand that have washed away. Now all that remains are the memories of how it felt when he ruled the world.

Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars

Never had much faith in love or miracles


Never wanna put my heart on the line
But swimmin' in your water's something spiritual
I'm born again every time you spend the night
'Cause your sex takes me to paradise
Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise
And it shows, yeah
'Cause you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You bring me to my knees, you make me testify (ooh)
You can make a sinner change his ways (ooh)
Open up your gates 'cause I can't wait to see the light (ooh)
And right there is where I wanna stay (ooh)
'Cause your sex takes me to paradise
Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise
And it shows
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long, oh
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?
Bruno Mars / Philip Lawrence / Ari Levine
VIVA LA VIDA - Coldplay

I used the rule the world


Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used the roll the dice


Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!

One minute I held the key


Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars on salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing


Roman Cavalry choirs is singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain


Once you’d gone there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind


Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
