No Vacancy is a fictional band from the hit movie "School Of Rock".

… Read Full Bio ↴No Vacancy is a fictional band from the hit movie "School Of Rock".

The first line-up consists of Theo (played by Adam Pascal) who is the lead singer and rhythm guitar player, Dewey Finn (played by Jack Black) who is famous for his long guitar solos and awkward on stage behavior and Neil (played by Lucas Papaelias) who plays bass.

After an incredibly bad concert in which Dewey tries to jump into the crowd to stage dive and lands on the floor, Theo kicks him out of the band. Dewey is replaced by Spider (played by Lucas Babin) and together they play and win the "Battle of the Band" contest in which Dewey also performs with the school kids he teaches.

Two songs are featured in the movie and are included on the movies soundtrack: "Fight", which plays during the opening credits and "Heal Me, I'm Heartsick", which is the contest entry of No Vacancy.

Heal Me I`m Heartsick
No Vacancy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heal me, I'm heartsick
I'm hungry and I'm broken
I'm haunted and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonight
Tears I can't fight on my own

I'm a haunted heathen
I'm hung and barely breathing

The drowning ocean, snuff the sun in motion
There's a pill on my tongue, a shot from a gun
The bottle's bottom
I'm lonely as a star

Heal me, I'm heartsick
Hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

Father, free me
Mama, woman, feed me
A child of fury, lost his way but don't worry
I won't stop 'til the dawn
I've been too long on the run
I grow strong and restless as a storm

Heal me, I'm heartsick
Hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

Heal me
I'm heartsick
I'm hungry and I'm broken
I'm haunted and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonight
Tears I can't fight on my own

So heal me, I'm heartsick
Hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

So heal me, I'm heartsick
I'm hungry, thought I could survive on you

Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

Line by Line Meaning

Heal me, I'm heartsick
I'm in desperate need of emotional healing

I'm hungry and I'm broken
I'm emotionally starved and shattered

I'm haunted and weeping
I'm tormented by my inner demons and crying uncontrollably

The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonight
There's an aura of spiritual energy radiating around me

Tears I can't fight on my own
I'm unable to stop myself from crying

I'm a haunted heathen
I'm someone who's irreligious and ghostingly disturbed

I'm hung and barely breathing
I'm exhausted, famished, and struggling to stay alive

The drowning ocean, snuff the sun in motion
I'm sinking in a seemingly endless ocean and the sun is setting which signifies the end of something

There's a pill on my tongue, a shot from a gun
I've consumed drugs to numb my pain and it feels like a gunshot in my system

The bottle's bottom
I'm at the bottom of a bottle, lost in addiction

I'm lonely as a star
I'm as lonely as a star in the vastness of the night sky

Father, free me
I'm calling out to my father for liberation from my current situation

Mama, woman, feed me
I'm also calling out to the motherly figure to nourish me

A child of fury, lost his way but don't worry
I'm a furious and rebellious individual who's lost but I'm not giving up

I won't stop 'til the dawn
I'll keep going until the break of dawn despite the difficulties

I've been too long on the run
I've been on the move for far too long

I grow strong and restless as a storm
I'm getting stronger with time and feeling agitated like a storm

So heal me, I'm heartsick
Once again, I'm begging for healing from my emotional pain

Hungry, thought I could survive on you
I thought I could rely on you for my emotional fulfillment

Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I want you to acknowledge and understand the depth of my emotional pain

I'm heartsick
I'm suffering from a deep emotional pain

Heal me, I’m heartsick
I’m hungry and I'm broken
I'm haunted, and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing
Like a river tonight
The tears, I can't fight on my own

I'm a haunted, heathen
I’m hung and barely breathin'
The drowning ocean
Snuff the sun in motion
There’s a pill on my tongue
A shot from a gun
The bottle's bottom
I'm lonely as a star

Heal me, I’m heartsick
Hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

Father, free me
Mama woman feed me
A child of fury
Lost his way but don't worry
I won't stop till the dawn
Though I've been too long on the run
I grow strong, and restless as a storm

Heal me, I’m heartsick
Hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

Heal me, I’m heartsick
I’m hungry and I'm broken
I'm haunted, and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing
Like a river tonight
Tears, I can't fight on my own

So heal me, I’m heartsick
Hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry
I'm heartsick

So heal me, I’m heartsick
I'm hungry, thought I could survive on you
Hear my heartsick hungry cry

Such a great movie school of rock is, it stemmed my inspiration to play guitar ever since I was 8 and I wanted to be cool like those kids but honestly this song rightfully won the battle of the bands contest. I get that the audience wanted the kids to win but this song had way more emotion and better musical structure than the school of rock band’s song did. But, in my opinion the school rock won and earned something better than no vacancy did which was a standing ovation, an encore, and respect. They even got to open they’re own shop/school in the former apartment so it wasn’t a total loss for them either.

Danke für die Lyrics, jetzt kann ich den Text wenigstens richtig mitsingen. ;-)
Ich finde den Film "School of rock" sehr witzig, aber seitdem ich diesen Song gehört habe, begleitet er mich fast schon täglich. Ein großer Erfolg für die Band "No Vacancy", die es leider nur im Film gibt.
