Golden Halo
Unveiling the Illusion: Alysha Amerson's Golden Halo
Lyrics
People ask why I never take off this necklace
Expressing the constant wearing of a necklace, likely holding sentimental value.
I know in my head
Acknowledging a mental awareness or understanding.
I don't wanna roll the dice
Expressing hesitation or unwillingness to take risks.
Because he isn't someone I'd meet twice
Suggesting a unique and irreplaceable connection with someone.
I don't wanna take a chance with someone new
Reluctance to explore new relationships or possibilities.
My minds wrapped around
Indicating preoccupation with thoughts or memories.
Comparing everyone to you
Constantly comparing others to a significant person in the past.
Your wearing a Golden halo
Describing an idealized image of someone with a metaphorical "Golden halo."
That my eyes created over time
The perception of an idealized image developed over time.
It's really fucking with my mind
Struggling with the impact of the idealized image on one's thoughts.
It shines over all your flaws
Seeing positive qualities overshadowing the flaws of the person.
I'm blinded by the beams
Feeling captivated or blinded by the perceived goodness of the person.
Six months later I can finally see
Gaining clarity and insight after a significant time period.
Your halo isn't gold
Revealing that the idealized image is not accurate or genuine.
And your flaws are
Acknowledging the presence of flaws that were previously overlooked.
Bleeding all over me
Experiencing the negative consequences of the person's imperfections.
Do I even really know you
Questioning the depth of knowledge about the person.
Would you be a stranger if we met again
Raising the possibility of being strangers if encountered again.
I painted this picture of you
Creating a mental image of the person with limited information.
Leaving myself zero clues
Leaving oneself with no clues or hints about the person's true nature.
Left everything out I hated in you
Omitting disliked qualities in the mental portrayal of the person.
I was color blind
Using the metaphor of color blindness to depict a distorted perception.
By my perfect design
Attributing the distorted perception to one's own idealized design.
Your wearing a Golden halo
Reiterating the metaphor of a "Golden halo" and its impact.
That my eyes created over time
Highlighting the prolonged nature of the idealized image's formation.
It's really fucking with my mind
Continuing to grapple with the mental impact of the distorted perception.
It shines over all your flaws
Emphasizing the overwhelming influence of positive qualities.
I'm blinded by the beams
Reiterating the feeling of being blinded by the person's perceived goodness.
Six months later I can finally see
Reflecting on the passage of time and the eventual clarity it brings.
Your halo isn't gold
Affirming that the idealized image is not authentic or golden.
And your flaws are
Acknowledging and confronting the flaws that were previously obscured.
Bleeding all over me
Experiencing the negative consequences of acknowledging the flaws.
I finally opened my eyes
Reaching a point of clarity and understanding about the person.
I see through the disguise
Seeing through the deceptive or idealized facade.
Your wearing a Golden halo
Reiterating the metaphor of a "Golden halo" and its impact.
That my eyes created over time
Highlighting the prolonged nature of the idealized image's formation.
It's really fucking with my mind
Continuing to grapple with the mental impact of the distorted perception.
It shines over all your flaws
Emphasizing the overwhelming influence of positive qualities.
I'm blinded by the beams
Reiterating the feeling of being blinded by the person's perceived goodness.
Six months later I can finally see
Reflecting on the passage of time and the eventual clarity it brings.
Your halo isn't gold
Affirming that the idealized image is not authentic or golden.
And your flaws are
Acknowledging and confronting the flaws that were previously obscured.
Bleeding all over me
Experiencing the negative consequences of acknowledging the flaws.
