Heal
Ma'anish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Digital walls to an analog world
Computed distraction from random horror
Keeps the chaos of reality out
And yourself
And myself as well

I bury my head in sand
Always denying
See no evil
Hear no evil
Turn a blind eye to a simple sight

I deny
And yet it grows
It piles up higher
Before me clear vision of freedom

Settling within me
Undeniable truth
Of the nature of my being

A fractured psyche opening its eyes

Opening It's eyes
Now mending the damage of years
Of neglect
Of guilt

Now spread my broken wings, Soar

It takes root
Realization, of what is sublime

It releases and frees me from the fixation in my soul
That grew and took its toll

Erased From My Hard drive

I Rise up
Blank and proud
Letting go of all I know
Eternal triumph

Know Yourself to know this world
Change yourself to change this world
Heal yourself to heal this world

The wounds I see in others are my own
I cannot change what I have wrought




But I can break the stone inside
Devote myself to the approaching tide

Overall Meaning

In "Heal," Ma'anish is highlighting the divide between the digital and real world. The lyric "Digital walls to an analog world" implies that society is using technology as a mechanism to shield themselves from the pain of the real world. The next line "Computed distraction from random horror" explains how technology is used as a way to disconnect from the horrific events that happen in the world. The use of the word 'random' highlights the fact that these events can happen to anyone, at any time, and that we feel powerless against them. Ma'anish then repeats "Keeps the chaos of reality out / And yourself / And myself as well," indicating that technology is keeping people safe from the chaos of the world but not necessarily helping them address it.


The second stanza highlights how Ma'anish sees himself as complicit in this denial of reality. He says "I bury my head in sand / Always denying / See no evil / Hear no evil / Turn a blind eye to a simple sight." Through the use of these metaphors, he is implying that he is blinded by the distractions of technology and unwilling to confront reality. The use of the phrase "simple sight" at the end highlights how easy it is to ignore what's happening in the real world, regardless of how obvious it may be. Despite his denial, Ma'anish acknowledges that the chaos of reality continues to grow and pile up on him. It's not until he experiences a realization of the nature of his being that he is able to heal and free himself from fixation.
