For You
Black Halos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some things are hard to explain
And even harder to say
So I tried to put my feelings into words
It was the stupidest thing I've ever heard

[Chorus]
Cause I don't got no love songs
No I don't got no love songs
No I don't got no love songs
For you

I don't need to tell you how I feel
For you to know my heart's for real
So there's nothing right now I'd rather do
Than shut my big mouth just for you

[Chorus]

Girl, I stayed up all night long
But everything just came out wrong
I know one and one makes two
But I don't got no love songs for you
Shove off!

[Chorus]

Cause I don't got no love songs
No stupid Nazi love songs
No I don't got no love songs
For you!
For you!




For you!
For you!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Halos's song "For You" express the struggle of trying to express one's feelings through words or music. The singer acknowledges the difficulty of conveying deep emotions and appears to have tried and failed to write a love song for their partner. Despite this failure, the singer believes that their love and commitment to the relationship is evident without the need for words or songs. The repetition of the phrase "No I don't got no love songs" emphasizes the point that the singer cannot find the words to express their feelings and that love, in its truest form, transcends language and music.


The chorus of "For You" reinforces this sentiment, stating that there are no love songs for their partner. The singer may feel that the expressions of love in popular culture are too contrived or trite to truly capture their emotions. The line "No stupid Nazi love songs" suggests a frustration with the commercialization and commodification of love in popular music.


The final verse of the song reveals that the singer stayed up all night trying to write a love song but failed. The reference to "one and one makes two" may suggest that the singer feels that a love song is a formulaic expression of a relationship, which fails to capture the complexity of human emotions. Ultimately, the lyrics of "For You" convey a deep sense of love and commitment, which transcends the need for words or music.
