Healing
Psy’Aviah ft. Tina Forlorn of Sorrow Stories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blood has colour in, transforming
My world's turned upside down
it feels most profound when I'm not...
I'm not healing
any time soon
There's joy inside pain, still hurting
thoughts split apart again, deforming
My head's been hanging down
I can be a clown, when I'm not...
I taste bitter and the sweet, sweetness
There's nowhere else I can find you
What remains I can't discard
All that's left behind these scars is: I'm not healing...
Everyone else grows immune inside their cocoons
I'm not healing any time soon...
In these lyrics, the artist expresses the ongoing struggle and pain they are experiencing. The tears are described as sweet, indicating that despite the sadness, there is some form of solace found in the act of crying. However, this sweetness is overwhelming, causing them to feel like they're drowning in their own sorrow. The mention of blood transforming and having color suggests that the emotional turmoil they are experiencing is physically affecting them as well.
The next lines reveal that their world has been turned upside down, emphasizing the tremendous impact that this pain has had on their life. The artist admits that they feel most deeply affected when they are not healing, suggesting that the process of healing is difficult to attain or maintain. The repetition of "I'm not healing" reinforces their frustration and a sense of hopelessness.
Despite the pain, there is a bittersweet joy found within it. This juxtaposition suggests that amidst the suffering, there are moments of relief or release, but it doesn't diminish their ongoing hurt. The thoughts in their head appear to be splitting apart and distorting, indicating inner turmoil and confusion. They acknowledge that they can put on a facade and be a clown to distract from their pain, further illustrating their struggle to cope with their emotions.
The lyrics continue with the idea of tasting both bitterness and sweetness, perhaps paralleling the contrasting emotions experienced in life. They express a longing for someone or something, as they mention that they cannot find it anywhere else. This could refer to a person or an emotional state that they yearn for, but cannot attain.
The final lines reveal a sense of acceptance of the scars left behind by their pain. They can't discard what remains, suggesting that they must learn to live with the aftermath and find a way to heal despite the scars. The artist contrasts this with the idea of others growing immune and retreating into their cocoons, meaning that while others may move on or find ways to cope, the artist feels stuck in their pain. The repetition of "I'm not healing any time soon" reinforces their belief that the healing process will be long and arduous.
