Halo
Ahmir Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo

I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Overall Meaning

Ahmir's song "Halo" is an ode to love and deep admiration for a partner. The lyrics describe the singer's initial reluctance to letting someone into their walls, which they had built up over time as a result of past hurts and disappointments. However, the partner's love and light penetrate this fortress, making the walls come tumbling down effortlessly. The singer marvels at the power of their love, which they previously doubted but now accepts to have existed all along. The partner is described as an angel who has awakened them, broken down all their rules, and become the only one they desire.

The song's overall message is that once one finds love, they shouldn't let their doubts or fear create walls that keep their partners out. Love should not be a burden, but rather a saving grace that one should hold on to and allow to shine through. The lyrics are sung in a soulful and deep voice with a background of piano and strings, giving the song a soothing and heartfelt quality that matches the message.

Line by Line Meaning

Remember those walls I built
I used to be guarded and shut people out

Well, baby they're tumbling down
But now I'm letting my guard down

And they didn't even put up a fight
My walls came down easily

They didn't even make up a sound
There was no resistance

I found a way to let you in
I've opened up to you

But I never really had a doubt
I always knew you were the right one for me

Standing in the light of your halo
You bring positivity and beauty into my life

I got my angel now
You are my savior and my everything

It's like I've been awakened
You've brought me to life

Every rule I had you breakin'
You've made me break my own rules for you

It's the risk that I'm takin'
I'm taking a chance with you

I ain't never gonna shut you out
I will always include you in my life

Everywhere I'm looking now
I see only you

I'm surrounded by your embrace
I feel your love all around me

Baby I can see your halo
You are a divine presence in my life

You know you're my saving grace
You are my salvation and my only hope

You're everything I need and more
You complete me in every way

It's written all over your face
I can see in your expressions how you feel about me

Baby I can feel your halo
Your love surrounds me like a halo

Pray it won't fade away
I hope our love lasts forever

Hit me like a ray of sun
You came into my life and brightened it up

Burning through my darkest night
You helped me through my darkest moments

You're the only one that I want
You are the only person I desire

Think I'm addicted to your light
Your positive energy is intoxicating to me

I swore I'd never fall again
I promised myself I wouldn't fall in love again

But this don't even feel like falling
But my feelings for you are different

Gravity can't forget
Gravity will always bring me back to reality

To pull me back to the ground again
To remind me of the real world

Feels like I've been awakened
You've brought me back to life

Every rule I had you breakin'
Your love made me break all my rules

The risk that I'm takin'
Being with you is a risk worth taking

I'm never gonna shut you out
I will always let you into my heart

I can feel your halo halo halo
Your halo of positivity surrounds me

I can see your halo halo halo
I can see your good influence on me

What a beautiful rendition of the song. The Brothers 4 part Harmony is great. The Voices are Super. Seems like the chemistry is working its magic. Brothers in a suit or uniformed would make this a smash. I wish you the best because there is a Halo over this group and with Bryan as your producers, WOW!
