What does the song locked out of heaven by Bruno mars mean?

Answer 1

There have been many songs and poems that use religious terms to describe love-- romantic love, as well as sexual desire. In this song, the singer is talking about both love and desire, but he is not just referring to lust. He is saying that this woman that he loves is like a goddess, and to be with her is magical. He says that before meeting her, he had never believed in miracles, but her love is miraculous to him. And when the two have sex together, it's a heavenly feeling, and one that has changed his life. He uses other religious imagery too, like he wants to "testify" about how much he loves her, and she has made a "sinner change his ways." Prior to meeting her, he felt he was "locked out of heaven"-- in other words, he felt he would always be denied, and he would never know such joy. But now, she has come along, and thanks to her love, he is "born again."
