Heal
naga siren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The urge, I must admit
I was close of finally cleaning up
But i needed
One last hit
To wake up ordinary
Stop being a disappointment
Inhale, cause soon I won't be the same
Someone tell me how it′s supposed to feel
My skin is burning
And I can feel them crawling down my neck
Someone help me, cannot exit the wheel
Let the current carry me back home or
Drown my fears in hope
Inhale, enjoy the view
This will be, will be
The last time that I dance with you
Replace my obsession, I can't escape the pressure
Someone tell me
Someone help me
Someone tell me
Let the current carry me back home or drown my fears in
Hope
Wake up ordinary
No self-medecating
Replace my obsession
I can't escape the pressure
Someone tell me how it′s supposed to feel
My skin is burning
And I can feel them crawling down my neck
Someone help me, cannot exit the wheel
Let the current carry me back home or
Drown my fears in hope
Someone tell me how it′s supposed to feel
My skin is burning
And I can feel them crawling down my neck
Someone help me, cannot exit the wheel
Let the current carry me back home or
Drown my fears in hope
The lyrics of Naga Siren's song "Heal" delve into the struggle of addiction and the intense desire to break free from its grip. The singer starts by acknowledging their dependence on a substance ("the needle") and confessing their initial intention to quit. However, they give in to temptation ("One last hit") because they feel the need to feel something extraordinary rather than being ordinary and disappointing. They are aware that their actions will eventually lead to others hating them.
The lyrics then express a plea for help and understanding from someone else. The singer describes how their addiction makes them feel physically and mentally ("My skin is burning" and "I can feel them crawling down my neck"). They feel trapped in a never-ending cycle, desperately wanting someone to rescue them or to find solace in hope. The chorus repeats the plea for assistance and the longing for escape, emphasizing the intensity of the struggle.
The last sections reinforce the desire to break free from the addiction and the pressure it exerts. The singer expresses the need for guidance and support, seeking a way to experience life without dependence. Once again, they call for someone to tell them how it's supposed to feel and to help them find their way home or find hope to drown their fears in.
Overall, the lyrics of "Heal" provide a raw and honest depiction of the internal strife and longing for liberation that comes with addiction.
