Hanging By Your Halo
Hanging By Your Halo: Battling Inner Demons and Love's Weight
Lyrics
There’s an eye
There is a symbol or representation.
On a chain round my neck
This symbol is worn as a pendant around the speaker's neck.
It’s supposed to protect me
The pendant is intended to offer protection.
From evil i guess
Protection is against perceived evil.
And i’m sure
The pendant has been actively fulfilling its protective role.
It’s been doing it’s best
Despite its efforts, it struggles.
But it can’t fight the evil
The pendant cannot combat the internal struggles within the speaker.
That’s inside my head
The internal turmoil is described as "evil" residing in the speaker's mind.
Tell me if you’re getting bored
The speaker questions the listener's patience with their challenges.
Of all this shit you didn’t sign up for
Acknowledgment of burdensome situations not initially agreed upon.
I don’t wanna turn my darkness into yours
Expressing a desire not to transfer one's darkness onto the listener.
I wish i could lie to you right now
Wishing to deceive or withhold the truth.
But the tears come with the truth
Authenticity prevails, and tears accompany the truth.
I’ve been hanging by your halo
The speaker has relied on the listener's virtuous qualities ("halo").
Don’t you wanna cut me loose?
The speaker questions if the listener wants to end this reliance.
I didn’t mean to weigh you down
Apologizing for unintentionally burdening the listener with mood changes.
With my ever changing mood
Expressing the difficulty of being consistent emotionally.
I’ve been hanging by your halo
The speaker continues to depend on the listener's positive qualities.
I hope i never get too much for you
Hoping not to become too overwhelming for the listener.
No excuse
No justification for past mistakes or actions.
For the shit that i’ve done
The speaker takes responsibility but attributes struggles to astrological factors (cancer sun).
But i’m blaming the head fuck
Blaming mental turmoil on a challenging situation.
On my cancer sun
The speaker wouldn't judge the listener if they chose to leave.
Wouldn’t judge you
Raising the question of whether love should be enjoyable.
If you wanted to run
Expressing acceptance if the listener decides to distance themselves.
Isn’t loving somebody
Reflecting on the nature of love and its supposed enjoyment.
Supposed to be fun?
Pondering if love is meant to be a pleasurable experience.
Does the thread begin to fray?
Questioning the stability of the relationship.
I haven’t left my room for days
Isolation and withdrawal from external interactions.
I don’t wanna turn my darkness into
Reiterating the desire not to impose one's darkness onto the listener.
Something you can’t escape
The fear of becoming a source of entrapment or burden for the listener.
