This track by Gorillaz serves as a cautionary tale, warning listeners about the dangers of losing oneself in illusions or unattainable ideals - a metaphorical 'heaven'. The lyrics suggest a journey, both physical and emotional, where the protagonist experiences disillusionment and isolation. References to substance abuse and urban decay imply an attempt to escape harsh realities, but ultimately leading to more emptiness. The repeated phrase "Don't get lost in heaven" serves as a reminder that chasing after an illusion of perfection can lead to disappointment and alienation. The song urges one to stay grounded in reality and not overstep boundaries into dangerous territory, symbolized by 'the edge'. The line "You'll make a big mistake" reinforces this message throughout the song.
