… 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 ↴
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
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
The lyrics to "Heal Me I'm Heartsick" by No Vacancy is a cry for help from someone who is lost, broken, and in need of healing. The desperation of the singer is evident in the lines "I'm haunted and weeping, the blood of heaven flowing like a river tonight, tears I can't fight on my own". The metaphor of the blood of heaven flowing like a river captures the feeling that the singer is overwhelmed by his troubles, which are beyond his control. He feels like he is drowning, and there is no way out. The use of personal pronouns which indicate loneliness and isolation ("I'm lonely as a star") amplifies the theme of desperation caused by feelings of abandonment, hopelessness, and pain.
The bridge of the song suggests that the singer is in a state of confusion and chaos. He calls out to different people, including his father, mother, and woman, to provide him with some form of solace. The lines "Child of fury, lost his way but don't worry" suggests that the singer is aware of his own mistakes and willing to make amends. The repetition of the phrase "heal me I'm heart sick" in the chorus reinforces the urgency and gravity of the situation. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing his determination to move forward: "I won't stop till the dawn, I've been too long on the road I grow strong restless as a storm".
