Makna lagu “Locked Out of Heaven” - Bruno Mars
“Locked Out of Heaven” merupakan deklarasi cinta, hasrat dan intimasi yang dikemas secara rancak. Liriknya sendiri berbicara soal romansa badaniah yang demikian indah hingga rasanya bisa disejajarkan dengan kenikmatan surgawi.
Lagu ini turut menyebut cinta sebagai sesuatu yang demikian influensial dan transformatif, hingga dapat memengaruhi pelakunya sampai pada taraf spiritual.
Tak ayal, cinta yang demikian dahsyat dan ekstatis ini membuat seseorang yang ada di dalamnya tak ingin keluar dari ‘surga’ penuh kebahagiaan bersama sang pasangan.
Demikianlah, saat kekasih hati sedang tak ada di sisi, rasanya seolah diri ini ‘terkunci di luar surga’ yang menyenangkan itu.
