The Healing
Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Broken by what's right you fail yourself this time. You've always fought for what's right. You make this your time to shine. You're leaving everything you wanted to your fate.

When your back is turned to the ones you love, you have the choice to change whats really wrong in your life. What's really wrong.

So why does it feel like I'm forgotten? just another mistake, another promise broken, just another regret. So why does it feel like I'm forgotten?

No matter what you do, I'll always be there for you.
No matter what you do, I'm always standing around.





Overall Meaning

In Legend's song The Healing, the lyrics are about struggling with the idea of doing what is right versus what you want for yourself. The opening line, "Broken by what's right you fail yourself this time," implies that the singer is torn between following their moral compass and fulfilling their desires. However, they still hold on to the belief that doing what is right is important, which is why they have always fought for it. The line, "You make this your time to shine," further reinforces their determination to do what is right, even if it means sacrificing their own wants and needs.


However, they also recognize that they have been neglecting the people closest to them, which is where the line "When your back is turned to the ones you love, you have the choice to change what's really wrong in your life" comes into play. This suggests that they understand they have been neglecting their loved ones and need to take action to fix that. But despite their efforts to make amends, they still feel forgotten and overlooked, as illustrated in the line "So why does it feel like I'm forgotten? just another mistake, another promise broken, just another regret."


The chorus brings the message home: "No matter what you do, I'll always be there for you. No matter what you do, I'm always standing around." This implies that no matter how much they struggle with doing what is right, their loved ones will always be by their side.


Overall, The Healing is a powerful reflection on the struggle of balancing personal desires and moral obligations while dealing with the consequences of neglecting loved ones.
