Heal
Odell Tom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal, heal, heal, heal
And take my past
And take my sins
Like an empty sail takes the wind
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And take a heart
And take a hand
Like an ocean takes the dirty sand
And heal, heal, hell, heal
And take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal, heal, hell, heal
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
The lyrics to Odell Tom's song "Heal" convey the singer's plea for release from pain and past mistakes. The repeated use of the words "heal, heal, heal" emphasizes the desperation and urgency of the singer's desire to be free from his emotional burden. The imagery used, such as an "empty bottle" taking the "rain" and an "empty sail" taking the "wind," suggests that the singer feels hollow and empty, wanting and needing to be filled with something positive and healing.
The second stanza of the lyrics continues this theme of release, with the singer asking for his heart and hand to be taken, like an ocean taking "dirty sand." The use of the word "dirty" suggests that the singer feels unworthy and weighed down by his mistakes, and he desires to be cleansed and made whole again. The repeated use of the phrase "tell me some things last" suggests that the singer is searching for hope and assurance that there is something that endures beyond pain and suffering.

We all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for us, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will you be saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read Bible, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to you and change you, seek to do what is right according to the Bible. Much love and God bless.
