Racoon Racoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We never choose our way to die
I did not find a word to say
Some words to heal and a place to pray
I don't want to compose for you at all
I don't want to compose for you at all
To calm your fury, you need my soul
As he came, he disappeared
Left, just a shadow, in your eyes
His love always on your mind
And his smile haunting you at night
I don't want to compose for you at all
I don't want to compose for you at all
To calm your fury, you need my soul
Oh keep your God, I don't believe
There's a justice on this earth
I'm sorry I can't go back in time
But this song for you is a way to heal
Your heart
I don't want to compose for you at all
I don't want to compose for you at all
To calm your fury, you need my soul
To calm your fury, you need my soul
The lyrics for "Heal" by Racoon Racoon convey a sense of grief and loss. It talks about a tragic event that has left the singer and the person they are addressing in a state of despair. The opening lines, "You did not want to say goodbye, we never choose our way to die" suggest a sudden death that has left the singer with a sense of helplessness. The line "I did not find a word to say, some words to heal and a place to pray" shows that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the event and is unsure of how to provide solace to the person they are addressing.
The second verse talks about the person who has passed away as a shadow that has disappeared, leaving only memories, love, and a haunting smile. The singer addresses the person, saying they don't want to compose a song "to calm your fury" and that "you need my soul." The use of the word "fury" suggests that the person they are addressing is in a state of anger, possibly directed towards the universe, fate or God. The singer goes on to express their skepticism about the idea of justice in this world, saying "Oh keep your God, I don't believe, there's a justice on this earth." They then apologize for their inability to go back in time and prevent the tragic event, but offer the song as a way to heal.
