Song Meaning of “Zoned Out” by SoulHealer
Zoned Out, a rock song by SoulHealer, speaks to the difficulty of reconnecting with ourselves and the world after heavy emotional trauma. For the narrator, life has come at him too quickly and he has been forced to deal with its chaotic energies without the normal tools available to most. In feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, he has drifted away, lost within his own mind.
The chorus reflects this feeling of being disconnected, as the narrator sings how his life has left him “zoned out”. The song builds in intensity as he describes how the pressure of the world closes in on him, and encourages us to take note of any inner depths we might be overlooking on our own journey.
The bridge of the song sees the narrator bottling up his emotions and seeking refuge in the stars, finding comfort in the peacefulness of the universe. It is here that he finds the strength he needs to keep himself connected to the world, the will to see the stars in the darkness.
Finally, the song ends on a bittersweet note as the narrator reclaims his power from the darkness inside him, singing that he’s back and ready to take on life once again. “Zoned Out” is reminder that while life can be overwhelming, there’s still the power to rise up and come out of it stronger.
