Heal
Ma'anish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
