Healing
Gary Numan vs. Ade Fenton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling, fall down
Do you know?
Do you know?
Obscene, I followed
I've seen some lies
Do you know?
Do you know?
I fall down
To you now
Do you know?
Sometimes I feel
Like I belong
To you now,
To you now
And now sometimes
It feels like I lie
To you now
Do you know?
Do you know?
I feel nothing
I feel no pain
You can't hurt me
You can't touch me
I'm not bleeding
I am healing
You will not steal
My dignity
Sometimes I fail
(Sometimes I know)
She protects me
(Some whores kneel down)
She makes me feel
(Do you know, do you know?)
Humility
(Do you know?)
She made me clean
(Sometimes I'm low)
She made me see
(Sometimes you fall)
All I could be
(Do you know, do you know?)
My sanctuary
(Do you know?)
The lyrics of "Healing" by Gary Numan and Ade Fenton explore the themes of vulnerability, lies, healing, and redemption. In the first verse, the singer talks about how they have seen their lies and those of others falling down. They seek validation and ask if the other person knows what they are feeling. The singer has followed obscene things and seen horrific things, and they wonder if the other person can relate to their feelings. The singer admits to sometimes failing but still feels like they belong to the other person. They wonder if the other person knows how they feel and understand their struggles.
In the chorus, the singer talks about how they feel nothing and feel no pain, and that no one can hurt them or touch them. They proclaim that they are healing and their dignity cannot be stolen. In the second verse, the singer talks about how they sometimes fail but the person they are with protects them and makes them feel humility. The person they are with has made them clean and helped them see all they could be. They refer to this person as their sanctuary.
Overall, the song "Healing" by Gary Numan and Ade Fenton is a powerful exploration of healing, redemption, and the power of relationships to help one overcome their past. The lyrics are emotional and evocative, and the music is equally moving, with a driving beat and haunting electronics.

I've seen all mine
falling, fall down.
Do you know?
Do you know?
Obscene, I followed
I've seen some lies.
Do you know?
Do you know?
Sometimes
I fall down
to you now.
Do you know?
Sometimes I feel
like I belong
to you now,
to you now.
And now sometimes
it feels like I lie
to you now.
Do you know?
Do you know?
I feel nothing
I feel no pain
you can't hurt me
you can't touch me.
I'm not bleeding
I am healing
you will not steal
my dignity.
Sometimes I fail
(sometimes I know)
she protects me
(some whores kneel down)
she makes me feel
(do you know, do you know?)
humility.
(do you know?)
She made me clean
(sometimes I'm low)
she made me see
(sometimes you fall)
all I could be
(do you know, do you know?)
my sanctuary.
