Healing
R. Bravery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind still thinks of what could
Just thinking bout' our fairytale
And how it went out dry and stale
Got me waiting to exhale
Cause the truth is so unreal
Tongue tied because I still feel you
Throwing salt on an open wound
Feelings melt it comes with time
No lie
You cross my mind, I'm so jaded when it comes to you
Wave my sword so you can't come through
Wave my sword so you can't come through
You know the words that'll stop me to
I won't cave I won't let you choose
Came to far not to cut you lose
I was patient when it came to you
Pushed me far now I got a short fuse, yeah
Time goes by like you and I
Feelings melt it comes with time
Come with time
Healing last a whole lifetime
A whole lifetime
A whole lifetime
In R. Bravery's song "Healing," the lyrics express the conflict between the singer's rational mind and their lingering emotions for someone who is no good for them. Despite knowing that this person is not worthy, the singer's mind still wanders and romanticizes their past fairytale-like relationship, which ultimately ended in disappointment. The chorus reveals the singer's frustration and longing, as they wait to finally let go and move on, as the truth of their situation is hard to accept.
The verses of the song depict the internal struggle of the singer. They feel tongue-tied, unable to express their feelings, as the wounds caused by this person are still raw and painful. Time becomes a constant reminder of the emotional journey they have been through, as feelings gradually dissolve and change. Although the singer claims not to let this person affect them anymore, their thoughts keep being invaded by memories and bitterness, making them guarded and defensive.
Overall, the lyrics of "Healing" convey a sense of resilience and determination to overcome the lingering emotional pain caused by a toxic relationship. It reflects the struggle of finding closure and moving on, even when true healing seems to take a lifetime.
