Better Now
Healing Scars: OSO My Brain's Journey to Better Now
Lyrics
Scars round my eyes, baby, on both sides
Reference to visible emotional pain or experiences, symbolized by scars around the eyes.
and stars round your head in our Hollywood bed
Symbolic mention of success or fame (stars) in the context of a shared intimate space (Hollywood bed).
It’s all better now
Expression that things have improved or resolved.
Scars cross your heart, where they cut you apart
Describing emotional wounds on the partner's heart, possibly from past hurts or difficulties.
And track down your arm where you did yourself harm
Physical manifestation of emotional pain, represented by scars on the partner's arm.
Yeah, it’s all so much better now
Emphasizing the positive change and improvement in the current situation.
I’m gonna rip the band aid, baby, off it now
Expressing the intent to address and confront emotional issues directly.
Better now, it’s getting better (3x)
Repetition of the idea that the situation is improving or has improved.
Cuts never heal when you don’t want to feel
Suggesting that emotional wounds persist if one avoids or suppresses feelings.
Won’t go away, uninvited to stay
Indicating that emotional pain lingers when not acknowledged.
Yeah, it’s all so much better now
Reiteration of the overall improvement in the emotional state.
I’m gonna rip the band aid, baby, off it now
Reiteration of the determination to address emotional issues openly.
Better now, it’s getting better (3x)
Continued emphasis on the positive transformation of the situation.
Lots of fun for everyone (3x)
Expression of joy or positive experiences for everyone involved, repeated for emphasis.
Now, yeah
Confirmation of the positive state of affairs.
Scars round my eyes, baby, on both sides
Repetition of the reference to emotional pain around the eyes, possibly indicating shared experiences.
And track down my arm where I did myself harm
Turning the focus inward, acknowledging personal emotional scars.
Yeah, it’s all so much better now
Reiteration of the overall improvement in the emotional state.
I’m gonna rip the band aid, darling, off it somehow somehow somehow
Determination to confront personal emotional issues head-on.
Better now, track down my arm
Repetition emphasizing the positive change in the current emotional state.
Better now, did myself harm
Repetition of the acknowledgment of personal emotional harm.
Better now, scars round my eyes
Reiteration of the presence of emotional scars around the eyes.
Better now, baby, on both sides
Repetition of the notion of shared emotional pain, possibly in both partners.
