Heals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At five o'clock there's no light
But she tastes alright, yeah she tastes alright
And Tuesday writes his own plaque
Paints it in the color black
But she tastes alright, yeah she tastes alright
But you're the savior I've been told
And I just don't throw things away no more
Midweek's when I'm on my knees
Blown over by light breeze
But she tastes alright, yeah she tastes alright
Cos every day don't like me
But when you're here they're bright, see?
'Cause you taste alright, yeah you taste alright
Everyday I feel cold
But you're the savior I've been told
And I Just don't throw things away no more
'Cause every day don't like me
But they're alright when you're around, see?
Cus you taste so good, you taste so good
Cos every day don't like me
But when you're here they're bright, see?
'Cause you taste alright, yeah she taste alright
In "Taste," Heal's lead singer talks about how the monotony of daily life can be difficult to endure, but having someone special to share it with can make all the difference. The lyrics capture feelings of boredom, mundanity, and despair that come with the daily grind. The singer describes how every day feels cold and that it's a struggle to even function. However, in the midst of it all, there is someone who makes things better. When this person is around, everything seems brighter and more bearable. They spice up the mundanity and make the singer feel more alive.
The phrase "she tastes alright," repeated throughout the song, is a metaphor for the person who brings joy into the singer's life. That person is like a seasoning, a flavor, that makes everything better. Together, they can endure the boring and difficult parts of life. The chorus repeats variations on this idea, stating that things may not always be great but with the right person by one's side, everything becomes more palatable.
This song is a testament to the transformative power of human connection. Even when everything seems bleak, the right person can make all the difference. By being present, showing up, and bringing joy, a partner or friend can help us endure the tough parts of life.
