The lyrics of Cartoon Asena's song "No Halo" are a representation of a party lifestyle and the consequences that come with it. The opening lines, "The way I move like a kick drum, no way he go outta ma bed in a day" imply a wild and carefree lifestyle of the singer. The use of "kick drum" and "fade away" hint at the consumption of drugs and alcohol. The next lines "Always he say and I'm on the way, you know it" suggests that the singer is comfortable with living life in the fast lane and has become accustomed to it.
The chorus, "So this how the game go, and tomorrow we lay low, can you follow me there, yeah, where we don't got no halo", highlights how the singer is inviting their companion to come along with them and experience a hedonistic lifestyle. The use of "no halo" implies that both the singer and their companion are not innocent and pure but have given in to the temptations of the party lifestyle. "Ain't no way he come on the first call, my demons creep up when I'm on a roll, you know it" suggests the singer's inner conflict with giving in to their vices, which are slowly taking a toll on their physical and mental well-being.
The lyrics of "No Halo" showcase the dark side of a glamorous party lifestyle, related to its listeners on a visceral level. It is a representation of life moving at a frenzied pace with no breaks or moments of respite.

Cartoon produces such great Drum and Bass songs. After collaborations with Asena in stuffs such as Howling and Omen, I think Cartoon and Asena should work together more like Cartoon and Juri Pootsmann for more awesome songs.
