Heal
Dery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
“you have the power within to
Heal yourself.
Your bones just need
A little help -
Just a little,
They know how to fix themselves”
That nothing would recover
The pain that burns all over
Hope the salt in tears has some new magic
To touch my skin and fix the shit that’s tragic
Hope my cries result in secret potions
To run along my veins in a healing motion
Guess my thoughts are helpful as raisins to cats
Now i’m claustrophobic, thanks for that
She didn’t say
It’d be this hard to
Work myself
Once the paranoia kicked in.
Oh, i’m loving it
This new age panic -
Count me in
All these pills get stuck dry in my throat
Hold onto thorns like rope -
Wanted out of this trope
Hope the salt in tears has some new magic
To touch my skin and fix the shit that’s tragic
Hope my cries result in secret potions
To run along my veins in a healing motion
Guess my thoughts are helpful as raisins to cats
Now i’m claustrophobic, thanks for that
Hope the salt in tears has some new magic
To touch my skin and fix the shit that’s tragic
Hope my cries result in secret potions
To run along my veins in a healing motion
Guess my thoughts are helpful as raisins to cats
Feeling like a hypochondriac
In Dery's song "Heal," the lyrics portray a person seeking solace and guidance from someone else. The singer reveals their frustration and anger, believing that nothing can alleviate their pain. However, the person they confide in offers reassurance, telling them that they possess the power to heal themselves, but they just need a little assistance. The mention of bones knowing how to fix themselves indicates that the healing process is innate, suggesting that the singer has the ability to overcome their emotional turmoil.
The lyrics delve into the singer's hope that tears, which contain salt, hold some kind of magical properties that can soothe their skin and mend their emotional wounds. The reference to "secret potions" suggests a desire for a remedy or solution to their suffering, something that can flow through their veins and bring about healing.
The tone of the lyrics takes a slight shift in the second verse as the singer expresses their frustration with their own thoughts and the feeling of being trapped and claustrophobic. They mention the difficulty of working on themselves and the newly emerged panic they are experiencing. It's as if their attempts to heal have become overwhelming, leading to heightened anxiety.
In the final lines, the singer compares their thoughts to raisins for cats, implying that their thoughts are unhelpful and ineffective in the healing process. They end the song feeling like a hypochondriac, highlighting their distrust or doubt in their own healing journey.
Overall, "Heal" explores the struggles, doubts, and hopes of someone navigating their personal healing process, emphasizing the importance of self-empowerment and the complexity of one's emotional journey.
