Half of What
Unveiling the Enigma: The Dual Nature of Existence in 'Half of What'
Lyrics
The shape of your head
The physical appearance or form of your head
Is a twist of the truth,
It represents a distortion or alteration of the truth
The skulls on these walls,
Skulls depicted on walls
Are they connected to you?
Questioning if those skulls have a connection to you
The stars are like eyes
Stars resembling eyes emerging from mist
Climbing out of a mist,
Symbolizing a rise in temperature
The temperatures rise
Similar to the warmth of a sun on an Easter morning
Like an easter morning sun,
Implying that it's a natural action rather than learned
Its not something you learn
A reflection on the uncertainty of whether the speaker's partner completes them
Its just something you do,
Feeling incomplete or only part of oneself
And sometimes I wonder
Contemplating the impact of lies on oneself
Whether my other half is you.
Expressing doubt about knowing or wanting to know the missing part
Cause I am only half, of what I am,
Acknowledging being only half of what one could be
And half of that is what, the lies can do,
Highlighting the influence of lies in shaping one's identity
Where the rest is, I don't know,
Uncertainty about the whereabouts of the other part of oneself
And I'm not sure if I want to know.
Contemplation about the desire to discover the missing part
Back on my own, it took me this long,
Reflecting on the journey of being independent again
To scale to the top of this
Describing the effort to reach the same level or position as someone else
(grassy/misty) mountain side you're on,
A geographical or metaphorical representation of a divide between individuals
But now I can see
Understanding or realization of the ultimate destination
Where its all been leading to,
Connecting the skulls on walls to a realization or understanding
The skulls on these walls,
Recurrence of the imagery of skulls and their connection to the person
How they're connected to you,
Metaphorically walking through challenges or difficulties with someone
Walking with you down a slippery slope,
A statement about a close relationship with the partner
And you said, "If I was the sun,
Symbolic statement implying mutual importance to each other
You'd be the world I'd shine onto."
Metaphorical expression of the significant influence on each other
