In Christianity, Saint Peter, an early leader and one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is thought to be the gatekeeper of Heaven.
FOB also referenced Peter’s “list” on their 2018 track “Heaven’s Gates”:
I also think these lines have a double meaning. On the firsthand, this rejection of planning for the future, of progression and change, this loss of hope for a better tomorrow, alludes to the self-destructive motifs throughout this song, the dangerous behavior that may afflict someone in a toxic relationship, or just a toxic mindset. We are not immortal, and need to accept that everything, even us and our relationships will change. And that’s okay.
On the other end, these lines point to the current race and pressure in our society to always be productive- to always create more, create better, create faster. St. Peter’s list can also represent every title, and ward, and goal we strive for, temporary fleeting pleasures that are quickly forgotten ( because how much peace will a few minutes more give) before trying to attain the next level, next step of the American ( fill in your own culture) dream. Even from a religious perspective, we cannot only focus on the future, always looking to do better instead of accepting where we are, seeking to enjoy ourselves and appreciate our current blessings and state in life. High standards are good, but can often just be an easy way to bring unfulfillment and low self-esteem on one’s self, when one is always stuck on some far gone fantasy and bigger goal, one that inevitably falls flat in the real world. Heaven is a fantastic place, and we will get there one day, but first we should take a moment to calm down and appreciate the good and wonders of the world around us right now, take some time to simply breathe, take pride in how far we’ve come, no matter how small, and, in the present, day by day, make those little changes, and grow to reach the place we want to be, because right now, here on earth, we can make it our paradise, even if just for a moment.
