Luke Chiang has a way of turning quiet ache into something you feel in your chest, and “heaven” might be the purest example yet. In the song, he confesses that the only place he finds peace is in dreams—awake, he’s drowning under stress and dread he’s even tried to explain to his parents. It’s a small, devastating admission: happiness feels out of reach in real life, and the water keeps rising. With gentle guitars and a voice that barely rises above a whisper, Chiang makes the heaviness feel almost weightless, like you’re floating just above the surface with him.

Lyrics of heaven by Luke Chiang
[Verse 1]
I Saw Heaven In My Dream
I’m Only Happy When I’m Asleep
How Can This Be?
How Can I Live Like This?
Told My Parents About The Stress
Said I Was Aching, Said I Felt Dread
[Chorus]
How Can This Be?
What Do They See In Me?
I Am Sinking, Again
I Am Lying, Caught Dead In, The Water
The Water, Oh
[Verse 2]
I Saw Heaven In Your Eyes
You’ve Been Broken
You Have Survived
[Chorus]
How Can This Be?
How Can I Live Like That?
I Am Sinking, Again
I Am Lying, Caught Dead In, The Water
The Water, Oh
I Am Sinking, Again
I Am Lying, Caught Dead In, The Water
The Water, Oh
[Outro]
If I Was Patient
I Could Hold On
In The Next Lifetime
I’m Still Your Son
About “heaven by Luke Chiang”
Luke Chiang bottles the ache of wanting escape in “heaven,” a tender indie-folk sigh where dreams feel closer than waking life—soft, sorrowful, and quietly unforgettable.
Produced by Shaan Ramaprasad, the track keeps everything minimal: delicate acoustic layers, subtle atmospheric swells, and space for every lyric to breathe. The mood is late-night introspection—half resignation, half fragile hope—with the repeated image of sinking in water carrying the weight of mental struggle. Yet there’s a thread of endurance running through it: surviving pain, holding on through patience, even the bittersweet promise of still being someone’s son in the next lifetime. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t shout for attention; it simply settles in and stays.
“heaven” arrives as part of TYPHOON, Luke Chiang’s forthcoming album that seems poised to explore emotional storms in all their messy beauty. Currently available as a pre-release single on Spotify, the track is already pulling listeners into what feels like Chiang’s most vulnerable era yet. The full project promises more of his trademark honesty—raw feelings wrapped in warm, intimate production that never overpowers the story.
For Luke Chiang, whose earlier songs like “Shouldn’t Be” and “May I Ask” built a devoted following through bedroom-pop sincerity, TYPHOON feels like a natural evolution: deeper, braver, and unafraid to sit in discomfort. “heaven” stands out in his catalog as one of his most direct confrontations with inner turmoil, proof that his songwriting only grows more affecting with time. It’s the kind of track that reminds you why you fell for his music in the first place—because he says the things you’ve felt but never quite named.
As the album release approaches, “heaven” is already carving out its own quiet space in playlists and late-night listens. It’s not loud, but it lingers.
