You Can Heal Me
SOiL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is so fragile
Like a trembling leaf
Time passes slower
With each day of misery
things aren't so bad

Hey can you heal me
Hey, hey listen to me
Time fell down my crippled well
And i get what i deserve
Hey, hey listen to me

Focus on your pain
Nothing else remains
How would you answer
If i did the same




Before i cut my skin
You need to look deeper within

The singer urges the listener to look deeper within themselves before taking any drastic measures like self-harm, asking "Before I cut my skin, you need to look deeper within." The lyrics seem to be saying that true healing comes from within and that we must confront our pain head-on if we want to move past it.
