This song is largely based/inspired by a book, namely Yukio Mishima’s Spring Snow. Here’s a quote from it:

Heat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Then we saw Mishima's dog
Trapped between the rocks
Blocking the waterfall
The songs of dust
The world would end
The night was always falling
The peacock in the snow
[Chorus]
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am

[Verse 2]
I can only love you by hating him more
That's not the truth, it's too big a word
He believed that love is theft

[Chorus]
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
And I tell myself, I don't know who I am
My father ran the prison

[Bridge]
But I am a seer, I am a liar
I am a seer, but I am a liar
[Chorus]
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
