Healing
SonReal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna be here every day
It's kinda late for me to switch the page
And will I feel it when I hit the pavement?
On the edge and I'm just stuck debatin'
Wanna go home
Rainy days seem like an occupation
That's why I ask myself
Am I for sure?
Am I enough?
'Cause I might just go
When times get tough
But I can't let go (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
I don't wanna be here anyway
It's kinda late for me to switch the play
I pack my bags and then I hit the pavement
This depression's just an occupation
I wanna go home, wanna go home
Up and down, I'm always switchin' places
My reflection always loves to hate me
That's when I ask myself
Am I for sure?
Am I enough?
'Cause I might just go
When times get tough
But I can't let go (I can't let go) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (can't let go, no) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (I can't let go) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (can't let go, oh) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
I can't let go when my faith get too low
So I'm dealin', I'm dealin'
Dealin', I'm dealin'
I might just try and get back up one time
'Cause I'm healin', I'm healin'
Healin'
So some nights, in my head, I say
But I can't let go (I can't let go) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (can't let go, no) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (I can't let go) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (can't let go, oh) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
But I can't let go (I can't let go) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
Ooh, when I'm healing (can't let go, no) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (I can't let go) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
When I'm healing (can't let go, oh) (do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I)
The lyrics in SonReal's song "Healing" portray the struggles of dealing with depression and anxiety. The despair and desire to go back home indicate SonReal's unhappiness with his current state of mind, whereas the need to keep going and never let go are signs of hope and healing.
The artist's lyrics show that he wants to leave his current situation, as the "rainy days seem like an occupation" and every day feels the same, but he is stuck in indecision. He questions his worth and whether he is enough, which shows his lack of self-esteem. However, SonReal never gives up and refuses to let go, as he knows he needs to keep pushing and fighting to heal his mind.
The chorus is a reflection of SonReal's mindset when he is healing. It symbolizes his mental state when he is trying to bounce back from his problems, and when he is healing, he cannot let go of his progress. The lyrics show that healing is a continuous process and that he has to keep working on it every day to make it better.
Overall, the song conveys themes of hope, struggle, and healing through its lyrics.

What a beautiful song, carries so much weight and meaning. Times get tough and sometimes it seems like it'll never end...keep pushing through and never give up. I remember playing ice hockey, getting so hurt on the ice and just hearing my Old Man (Dad) in the stands hollering to me "GET UP!!" Dad, I'll never stop getting up, each and every time. I'll carry those words with me forever. Don't ever stop getting up guys. Much love and respect to you all.
