Halo
Alin Coen Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating above my head
And I wont sell you a different truth
Just couse you think this one is abd
Well Id rather let you know
Im not sying
Ive got the answers or a master plan
I could do more than what iI can
Itll take some thime to mend
Id still like to be a friend
Last night the world was at peacse for a second
All had left me at ease I reckon
Now Im not feeling bitter
But I dont went to sit here, forver
I went out to walk through distant streets
And a distant mind
To invetigate what I could lose
Or what I should find
How unthinkable it seems
To let go of self-made dreams
I read some Auden poem
Just becouse I found it here
And he says our dream of safety
Has to disappear
Wasnt going to ignore
What I felt this way before
Last night the world was so wide for a minute
I was moved by a quiet moment in it
Now the way that were going
Is of mending and sewing
We are still growing
Its time to move ahead
Tonight the world is a task we have been given
To break up with our past way of Livin'
So I pick up the shatters
Blow the dust from my feathers
I feel better
The lyrics to Alin Coen Band's song "Halo" express a sense of honesty and vulnerability. The singer admits that she doesn't have all the answers or a perfect life, and she's not going to pretend she does just to satisfy others. The imagery of a halo floating above her head suggests the idea of perfection, but she rejects that notion and chooses to be true to herself.
The chorus shows a sense of growth and reflection, as she acknowledges that it will take time to mend relationships and be a better friend, but she still wants to try. The second verse shows her searching for meaning and purpose, willing to explore uncharted territories despite the fear of losing the things she's built for herself. The reference to reading an Auden poem about the dream of safety disappearing suggests a willingness to face the unknown and embrace change, despite the discomfort it may bring.
The final verse is the most optimistic, as she declares it's time to move ahead and break up with past ways of living. The use of the metaphor of shattering and picking up the pieces suggests a sense of resilience and determination. The final line, "I feel better," suggests that through this process of self-reflection and growth, the singer has found a sense of peace and acceptance.

I won't tell you I've got a halo
I won't pretend to be perfect or faultless
Floating above my head
In a state of purity and transcendence
And I wont sell you a different truth
I won't deceive you with a falsehood
Just couse you think this one is bad
Just because you disagree with me
Well Id rather let you know
I'd rather be honest with you
Im not sying
I'm not claiming
Ive got the answers or a master plan
To have all the solutions or a perfect strategy
And I wont make belive that
And I won't pretend that
I could do more than what iI can
I can achieve more than I'm capable of
Itll take some thime to mend
It will take some time to heal
Id still like to be a friend
I would still like to maintain our friendship
Last night the world was at peacse for a second
For a moment, the world was harmonious and tranquil
All had left me at ease I reckon
Everything was peaceful and calm for me
Now Im not feeling bitter
Now I am not resentful or angry
But I dont went to sit here, forver
But I don't want to stay in the same place forever
I went out to walk through distant streets
I went for a walk in unknown streets
And a distant mind
In a state of introspection and contemplation
To invetigate what I could lose
To explore what I might lose
Or what I should find
Or what I could discover
How unthinkable it seems
How difficult it is to let go
To let go of self-made dreams
To abandon one's own aspirations
I read some Auden poem
I read a poem by W. H. Auden
Just becouse I found it here
Because I stumbled upon it
And he says our dream of safety
And he conveys the message that our desire for security
Has to disappear
Needs to diminish, fade away or dissolve
Wasnt going to ignore
I wasn't going to neglect or overlook
What I felt this way before
What I have experienced previously
Last night the world was so wide for a minute
For an instance, the world seemed enormous
I was moved by a quiet moment in it
I was touched by a peaceful instant in it
Now the way that were going
Now the direction in which we are moving
Is of mending and sewing
Is about fixing and repairing
We are still growing
We are still evolving and developing
Its time to move ahead
It's time to make progress and move forward
Tonight the world is a task we have been given
Tonight, we have been given the challenge of the world
To break up with our past way of Livin'
To let go of our previous lifestyle
So I pick up the shatters
So I gather the broken pieces
Blow the dust from my feathers
Cleanse myself and start anew
I feel better
I feel relieved and renewed
