Halo
Unveiling Shadows: A Journey Beyond My Halo
Lyrics
A trip down to the street where my halo fell
A reflective journey to where my innocence or goodness was lost.
Will tell you all you'd care to know about me
Exploring that location will reveal all there is to know about me.
A passage through a lifetime
A journey through my life experiences.
In relative terms I've already died
In a comparative sense, I have already faced significant hardships.
Now my hope can't stay afloat on it's own
My optimism can no longer survive on its own.
She's praying still she'll die alone
Despite prayers, she expects to face death alone.
And I can't own my face like this
I can't confront my own emotions or reality.
It's really not me, I swear to god
My outward appearance does not represent the real me.
My real identity could crush a thousand "me"s
My true identity has the power to overpower many versions of myself.
With just the flick of a halo
A symbolic action with a halo, suggesting a transformative moment.
The tick that tells you I'm nervous
An indication of nervousness revealed through a subtle tick.
You deserve this
You deserve the consequences of your actions.
What did you find in that dark street
Questioning what was discovered in a dark and hidden place.
Seeped into pavement so discreet
Something profound that became a subtle part of everyday life.
A swept up dream
A shattered aspiration or goal.
A pile of glass
A broken dream represented by shattered glass.
And everything slows down too fast for me
Life's pace is overwhelming and hard to comprehend.
For me
This overwhelming experience is specific to the narrator.
That's what you'd care to know
Reiterating that the listener will understand these experiences.
And throw yourself in front of my face
Encouraging the listener to confront the narrator directly.
Covered with your lame embrace
Being covered by a superficial and insincere embrace.
And tell yourself you never knew
Deluding oneself about the narrator's life struggles.
The things in life that I've been through
Acknowledging the challenging experiences in the narrator's life.
Just tell yourself you never knew
Encouraging self-deception about the narrator's hardships.
What I've been through
Reiterating the idea that the listener should remain unaware of the narrator's experiences.
