Healing
The Popopopops Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take it easy
You say he blows your mind,
oh breaks you down
The old town feels like you
You better stay out of sight, oh on the side
If you are dizzy
feeling so drowned
So don't act like a fool
Oh have you ever planned, to reach an end
So quickly
Just do like some of them,
healing the pain
But still falling through
Oh fear drives you mad, oh empty mind
What a pity
It makes you come forward,
endure the blur
This rough din will scare you
Is it criminal
To be terrified
Is it irrational
Fear at the last sight
The Popopopops song "Healing" is a passionate and emotive song that speaks of the struggles of moving on after a painful breakup. The main vocalist of the band speaks directly to someone he cares about, seemingly imploring them to avoid a certain person, most likely an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, who they will encounter while out and about in town. The singer advises that it's better to keep out of sight, stay on the side, and avoid any behavior that might make them appear foolish or desperate. The lyrics shift mid-song from a gentle inward reflection to a more forceful warning of vulnerability and the dangers of allowing one's fears to overtake their mind. The singer implores the listener to look out for themselves and not to let fear consume them.
The chorus is a plea to the listener to take care and avoid being swallowed up by their pain:
"Oh have you ever planned, to reach an end
So quickly
Just do like some of them,
healing the pain
But still falling through"
