Black Halo
Black Pistol Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lips won't forget but you try to resist
California dreaming, take it or just leave it
Talking in my sleep when I'm wide awake
Back of my mind, no telling what you'll find
Darling you know its just a waste of time
Why you wait so long
before you get too close
I never walk alone, got my shadow and a
Black Halo
Black Halo
Black Halo
I walk around with my head up in the clouds
Hard to say if I'm ever coming down
Broken and Im shattered
Doesn't really matter
You I hate to see you walk away
Why you wait so long
Every road I go seems darker than one
before you get too close
I never walk alone, got my shadow and a
Black Halo
Black Halo
Black Halo
Back of my mind, no telling what you'll find
Darling you know it's just a waste of time
Darling you know it's just a waste of time
Why you wait so long
Every road I go seems darker than one
before you get too close
I never walk alone, got my shadow and a
Black Halo
Black Halo
Black Halo
PICK YOUR POISON
You'll find it written up all over my face
Hi jacking hearts can they know we bound to break
I keep on trying, but I walk a staggered mile
A wounded lover has got a shadow he can hide
Why do you get decided, who gets to shine
I'll pay no mind while I'm taking my time
I could of swore I was
Stringing myself along
But know I know I got
So much more than we bargained for
We all pick our poison, it's best left unspoken
Not the only one
You can't fix what's broken, when all this is chosen, now I know I'm not the only one
It's safe to say they know your secrets out
I push and pull before they weed me out
I wouldn't even try to put you in your place
Good lord I got more than I can take
Why do you get decided, who gets to shine
I'll pay no mind while I'm taking my time
I could of swore I was
Stringing myself along
But know I know I got
So much more than we bargained for
We all pick our poison, it's best left unspoken
Not the only one
You can't fix what's broken, when all this is chosen, now I know I'm not the only one
What were you hoping to find
I hate to break it, but your love was a lie
We got more babe, so much more
We got more than we bargained for
We all pick our poison, it's best left unspoken
Not the only one
You can't fix what's broken, when all this is chosen, now I know I'm not the only one
Now I know I'm not the only one
Could of swore I was the only one
Now I know I know I'm not the only one
Could of swore I was the only one
The lyrics of Black Pistol Fire’s “Black Halo” are open to interpretation, but they appear to speak of one’s desire to escape reality and live in a dream world, rather than facing the harsh and darker realities of life. The opening lines suggest that the silence is deafening and the singer is trying desperately to forget someone or something by resisting the temptation to dwell on it. The reference to California dreaming may indicate the desire to escape and start anew in a better place. The chorus repeats the notion of the singer being accompanied by a shadow and a “black halo,” suggesting a dark and brooding presence that looms over them.
The second verse furthers the theme of escapism, with the singer’s head in the clouds and a general sense of detachment from reality. The somewhat contradictory statement that being broken and shattered doesn’t matter may indicate that the singer is so consumed with their dreams that nothing else truly matters. The bridge, “PICK YOUR POISON,” seems to suggest that everyone has their own way of avoiding reality, and it is best to keep those choices private. The lines “I could have sworn I was/Stringing myself along” alludes to the notion that the dream may be false and fleeting, but the singer still clings to it in hopes of finding something more.
Overall, the song's lyrics seem to express a search for meaning and the desire to escape a life that seems unfulfilling. The repeated references to the “black halo” and shadows may suggest a darker side to the desire for escapism, as if the freedom sought is ultimately an illusion.
Line by Line Meaning
Silence it sits on limp cigarette
The quietness is tangible
Lips won't forget but you try to resist
Memories linger and are hard to shake
California dreaming, take it or just leave it
Daydreaming of a better place or time
Talking in my sleep when I'm wide awake
Mind lost in thought
Back of my mind, no telling what you'll find
Thoughts and possibilities are ever-present
Darling you know its just a waste of time
You know it's pointless, but you can't help it
Why you wait so long
Asking someone why they waited too long to take action
Every road I go seems darker than one before
Things seem bleak and hopeless
before you get too close
Warning to not get too emotionally invested
I never walk alone, got my shadow and a Black Halo
Comfort in one's self and their own darkness
I walk around with my head up in the clouds
Lost in thought and fantasy
Hard to say if I'm ever coming down
Uncertainty about returning to reality
Broken and Im shattered
Feeling in pieces and ruined
Doesn't really matter
Nothing seems to make a difference
You I hate to see you walk away
Not wanting someone to leave
Pick Your Poison
Choose your own path
You'll find it written up all over my face
Emotions are displayed openly
Hi jacking hearts can they know we bound to break
Risking everything for love, even though it may end
I keep on trying, but I walk a staggered mile
Continuing to strive, even though the path is difficult
A wounded lover has got a shadow he can hide
Heartbreak carries the weight of the past
I'll pay no mind while I'm taking my time
Ignoring distractions and moving at one's own pace
I could of swore I was stringing myself along
Feeling like a fool for prolonging a situation
But know I know I got so much more than we bargained for
Realizing that the outcome was greater than expected
We all pick our poison, it's best left unspoken
Everyone has their own struggles
Not the only one
You're not alone in your struggles
You can't fix what's broken, when all this is chosen
Sometimes even our choices are beyond repair
What were you hoping to find
Questioning someone's motives
I hate to break it, but your love was a lie
Realizing that love was not genuine
We got more babe, so much more
Realizing that there is more to life than one person or situation
Now I know I'm not the only one
Feeling a sense of relief and understanding
Could of swore I was the only one
Feeling isolated and alone
