Healing
Alana Sukul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paint me as a bad guy in all your dreams
Why do I let you get in my head
Shovel in my hand, let's bury you instead
Storytelling isn't cut out for you
Without, it's a clearer view
Have finally found the light
That I wanted to have found with you
But sometimes it gets heavy
And you were too deadly
For me to have wanted this feeling
I'm healing, ooh
I'm healing, ooh
Skies were always dark when you were around
Emotions heavy like water, you let me drown
Why did I let you break me
Tables have turned, now you see
Storytelling isn't cut out for you
Without, it's a clearer view
And I think that I might
Have finally found the light
That I wanted to have found with you
Oh
But sometimes it gets heavy
And you were too deadly
For me to have wanted this feeling
I'm healing, ooh
I'm healing, ooh
But sometimes it gets heavy (Heavy)
And you were too deadly
For me to have wanted this feeling
I'm healing, ooh
I'm healing

Line by Line Meaning
Crazy, that's how you want me to seem
You want to portray me as insane or unstable
Paint me as a bad guy in all your dreams
In your imagination, I am the villain
Why do I let you get in my head
I question why I allow your influence over my thoughts
Shovel in my hand, let's bury you instead
Rather than surrender to your negativity, let's bury it and move on
Storytelling isn't cut out for you
You are not skilled in crafting narratives or manipulating stories
Without, it's a clearer view
Without your distortions, the truth becomes evident
And I think that I might
I believe that I might
Have finally found the light
I have discovered enlightenment or clarity
That I wanted to have found with you
The illumination I sought from our relationship
But sometimes it gets heavy
However, sometimes it becomes burdensome or overwhelming
And you were too deadly
Your presence or actions were too harmful or dangerous
For me to have wanted this feeling
I did not desire or seek this kind of emotional state
I'm healing, ooh
I am undergoing a process of recuperation or recovery
Skies were always dark when you were around
The atmosphere or mood was consistently gloomy when you were present
Emotions heavy like water, you let me drown
You allowed my emotions to weigh me down and suffocate me
Why did I let you break me
I question why I allowed you to shatter my resilience or spirit
Tables have turned, now you see
The dynamics have reversed, and you now realize the consequences of your actions
But sometimes it gets heavy
However, sometimes it becomes burdensome or overwhelming
And you were too deadly
Your presence or actions were too harmful or dangerous
For me to have wanted this feeling
I did not desire or seek this kind of emotional state
I'm healing, ooh
I am undergoing a process of recuperation or recovery
I'm healing, ooh
I am undergoing a process of recuperation or recovery
