“Recovering” by Celine Dion

In Celine Dion’s “Recovering”, the singer talks about a recovery from a loss of herself, or a painful experience she has recently faced.

Dion seems to have lost an exciting part of her personality due to a painful experience, but is determined to get over it and have some peace. She talks about the fact that she lost hope and a part of a heart, signifying sadness, as well as the fact that she used to be reckless and wild, signifying her earlier disposition, which she lost along the way.

The singer believes that if she takes things gradually, she will be able to heal completely and take back her life. The devil she wants to shake off is probably the hopeless thoughts she was dwelling on. She also expresses that she is recovering from her own bad behaviors such as being overly anxious, erratic and regretful of her own actions.
