Healing
The Popopopops Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say he's out tonight, oh out tonight
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

Or risk feeling so down,
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
