Heal Over

i think it'd be great to see an artist who can write about female relationships without being labelled a lesbian. the relationship/friendship between 2 women can be the most intense in your life.. i can see the parallels between this song and another place to fall... i wouldnt be suprised if they were about the same person. sometimes u give and give and give and its just not enough until you just snap, and say, get over it, or find another person to lean on...

I think this song is fairly self explanitory, however it is done in such a way that it's meaning could be interpreted in many ways while keeping the same root meaning, something i f ind truly beautiful about her songwriting

i cant believe this song is commentless, expecially since this is probably the most insightful on the album, to me anyway. its obviously about moving on, how each of us has to build a bridge and get over it sometime. other than that i think it can be taken at face value.

I just discovered KT Tunstall 2 days ago and fell in love with her style and voice. This is the favorite of the songs I've heard thus far. It's partially because of the way it "fits" into my life right now, but I absolutely LOVE the harmony as well. Great song, agree with Pixie. I was trying to figure out the line "You've got to try to trust yourself I know it's so hard, so hard." I'm not sure of what she's saying. Any ideas?

Not very hidden meaning to this song:

"Because pain is built to last Everybody sails alone But we can travel side by side Even if you fail You know that no one really minds"

Things happen, not always the way we want them too, and it hurts, but I'll be there for you.

this is such a beautiful song

The most obvious message here - “You get hurt in life. Give it time. Things will get better.” - is not very interesting.

But more depth is hinted at here. The first stanza talks about how the bumps, bruises, and trauma a person has experienced are readily visible in how they behave. The irony, of course, is that each of us thinks we are successfully masking these scars.

The crux of the song is in the third stanza. Once again the speaker reminds us that denying pain is a delusion. And the hurt does not really go away. It is carried with you. And the sooner you realize this, the more easily you will connect with the equally damaged people around you.

The message I get from this song is that denying one’s imperfections leads to isolation.

i loove kt tunstall ..anytime im in a mellow mood i listen to the last half of the cd (eye to the telescope) ..its a rockin cd..and so is this song...but has anyone else gotten the feeling that kt is gay? its just that alot of her songs have her singing to girls.."come over here lady" and in suddenly i see, shes singing about this girl who she thinks is great..

i was wondering the same thing which is why i came on here, to see if anyone else had that thought. i dont mean it in a discriminatory way which is what may be assumed, but when you look at the lyrics of her songs it seems that she is gay. does anyone know for sure?

Kate isn't gay....She has been dating Luke Bullen (Addict, Zanderman, and Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros) for at least 3 years....He is currently her drummer!
