Heal My Wounds
Potf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
For the fates are devious by heart
They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown
And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow
But you're here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, 'cause the show is on right...
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No one else can heal your wounds
Once again taboo becomes your law
What you want seems taken by another tide turning
Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky,
Riding dreams to some other side
Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
I'm done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, 'cause the show is on right...
Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No one else can heal your wounds
The bigger the lies
The more they want to believe them
And like a vice
Hold on to what they believe in
Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
No one else can heal your wounds
Here and now with all dreams realized
Would you choose still more time to do
Don't fall down 'cause I need you to rise
No one else can heal my wounds

I burn to make you understand
I am desperate to make you comprehend
One wrong word and it all may come crashing down
A single mistake could ruin everything
For the fates are devious by heart
Destiny is sly at its core
They envy you your dreams, so they'll let you drown
The powers that be are jealous of your aspirations and will let you fail
And there is no why, there is no how, it's like the sky, just one free flow
There is no explanation nor procedure, it's like the sky, ever-unfolding
But you're here right now, and this is your show, so take a bow, 'cause the show is on right...
You are present in this moment, this is your time to shine, so acknowledge your accomplishment, the performance has begun
Here and now with all dreams realized
Currently, with all of your aspirations accomplished
Would you choose still more time to do
Would you prefer additional time to pursue further endeavors
Don't fall down when it's time to arise
Do not succumb when it is time to advance
No one else can heal your wounds
Only you can recover from the pain you endure
Once again taboo becomes your law
Once again, that which is forbidden becomes your rule
What you want seems taken by another tide turning
The thing you desire appears to be swept away by an opposing force
Away from our flower field where we used to lay beneath the sky,
Removed from the meadow where we would lay and gaze at the sky
Riding dreams to some other side
Traveling on aspirations to some other destination
Do they burn, the wishes whispered, like secrets, they yearn, just to be heard
Do the spoken desires ignite with passion, like unshared secrets that crave acknowledgment
I'm done with questions, I have no answers, the choice is yours, 'cause the show is on right...
I, too, am uncertain and exhausted from inquiries, and the decision is yours because the performance has begun
The bigger the lies
The more immense the falsehoods
The more they want to believe them
The greater the yearning to accept them as truth
And like a vice
And akin to a tool used to grip tightly
Hold on to what they believe in
The holder grips tightly to their beliefs
Don't fall down 'cause I need you to rise
Do not falter, because I require your success
No one else can heal my wounds
Only I can overcome the afflictions that ail me
