Halcyon
Au5 & Fractal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it′s not over
Baby I worked this out for sure
It's gonna be colder
Now you′ve forced open the door
I know you better
Than I ever have before
I know you...
I know you're a fighter
But you never fought for me
When I was a shelter
So you're not heading home to me
We could be closer
We could be closer
We could be...
When it′s just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
When it′s just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
It's gonna be... (It′s gonna be better)
It's gonna be better
It′s gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It′s gonna be better
It's gonna be...
It's gonna be better
It′s gonna be better
We′ll take a long walk
Down the alley of these houses
And we'll talk
See what conversation rouses
When we′re alone
When we're alone
It could be home
When it′s just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
It's gonna be... (It′s gonna be better)
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It′s gonna be better
It′s gonna be...
It's gonna be better
It′s gonna be...(It's gonna be better)
It′s gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It′s gonna be better
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be...




It′s gonna be better
It′s gonna be better

Overall Meaning

The song "Halcyon" by Au5 and Fractal is about a relationship that is on the rocks, with one person trying to hold onto it while the other one seems to be drifting away. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows their partner well, but feels that they are not fighting for the relationship as much as they should be. The chorus describes the loneliness and confusion that the singer feels when they are alone with their partner. Despite these struggles, the singer believes that things will get better in the future, and that they will be able to find a way back to each other.


The opening lines suggest that the singer has come to a realization about the relationship, acknowledging that it will not be the same as it was before. They also imply that the singer has put in effort to try to fix things between them. The chorus emphasizes the disconnect between the two people, with the repetition of the lines "You show me what it feels like to be lonely, you show me what it feels like to be lost." The ending describes a hopeful future where the two can reconnect and find their way back to happiness.


Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the ups and downs of relationships, and the hope that even when things seem bleak, there is always a chance for things to get better.

My favourite part for sure!

@joeyveewow

For my taste, 2011-2014 was like the golden age of EDM. I miss these times so much!

@andreifrom045

Yes it was

@azi9_ity

2015 - 2017 were the last "good" years. 2009 - 2013 were the absolute best!

@gianellasilvana2309

2012 - 2016 It was my gold years really... And now 2019 i'm still here

@jeremias-serus

Au5 & Fractal make a great team. They can both make great tracks on their own as well. Excellent.

Marcin Andraka No they shouldn't make a band or no you aren't the only one to think that?
