"Heal Me (Time)" is a reflective track by Victor AD presented in a lyrical format on NotjustOk. The song works through regret, love, and the desire for personal repair. Victor AD uses repeated questions about the future and explicit admissions of failure to create a sense of urgency: he wants time to fix mistakes and healing to restore a relationship.
Regret and apology. The lyrics repeatedly apologize for neglect: "So sorry for the days I neglected you" and "I'm sorry for the days that I wasted time." These lines acknowledge past behavior and position the singer as someone who missed chances.
Need for healing. The song includes direct pleas: "I need you to heal me / Go deeper too." The word "heal" is both literal and metaphorical — asking the person affected to help repair emotional wounds and asking time itself to allow correction.
Uncertainty about the future. The chorus frames the song's uncertainty: "Who can say where the road goes? Where the day flows? Only time" and "And who can say if your love grows / As your heart chose? Only time." These refrains emphasize that outcomes aren't in the narrator's control and that time will reveal whether reconciliation is possible.
The lyrics present inner conflict. Victor AD admits to hypocrisy and to struggling with self-image: "This whole feeling dey come with regret / Hypocrisy still dey my door step." He also confesses ongoing attempts to be someone worth following: "And up till date I still dey convince my shadow / That I'm someone worth following outdoor." That line illustrates persistent insecurity alongside a wish to improve.
Repetition anchors the song. The chorus's questions about roads, days, and love repeat several times, creating a meditative hook. The song balances confession verses with the recurring chorus, so the listener returns to the central uncertainty about time and love.
Concrete appeals. Verses contain specific pleas and pragmatic reasoning: "If I waste you I waste life / I might never get this chance / In my next life." That framing turns the apology into a calculation about missed opportunity rather than a vague regret.
The voice is intimate and plainspoken. Lines like "It's so hard when the odds are against you / I'm trying to navigate life / And I need you too" read like a direct conversation rather than abstract poetry. The mix of English and Nigerian Pidgin gives the lyrics immediacy and groundedness.
- "I need you to heal me / Go deeper too."
- "So sorry for the days I neglected you."
- "I hope time gives me enough time / To correct this wrongs."
- The chorus: "Who can say where the road goes?… Only time."
