Heaven's a Lie is the first single by Lacuna Coil off their album Comalies. Although frequently labeled as an anti-religion song, such an interpretation is mistaken. In an interview with HighWireDaze.com, leading vocalist Cristina Scabbia explained the meaning of the song. The word "heaven" is a metaphor for a "perfect life". When the phrase "your heaven's a lie" is used, it is referring to people who try to force their opinions on others. [1]
Co-vocalist Andrea Ferro refers to this theme at their concerts as a song about freedom of ideas.
Amidst the single's newfound popularity in late 2003, the group performed an acoustic version of it during an edition of MTV2's Headbangers Ball.
The song is used on a commercial for the TV show Criminal Minds.
[edit] Music videos
A music video accompanied the single's release in early 2003. It found airplay on Uranium alongside one of the earliest televised American interviews with the group on said program. This video, which had a noticeably low budget, featured the group's vocalists sitting along a dark staircase.
However, upon the sudden popularity of the single in late '03, an entirely new music video was released and found high circulation on the resurrected Headbangers Ball. This version featured noticeably vibrant graphics and a stronger presentation overall compared with its predecessor. Lacuna Coil's follow up, "Swamped", would have a likewise high production.
