Only For You
Halo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She is so pretty but if she only knew
I only do it when I'm thinking of you
I hit the ceiling when the lights are low
You are my fantasy I won't let it go

Whatever else is in the back of my skull
I have for you the most compassion of all
I like the colour of the holes in your eyes
I wanna kiss you on the top of your thigh

Look at me
Look what you've done to me
I'm shaking uncontrollably
Stuck in this fantasy
I'm thinking things I shouldn't be
Burn myself out for you
I wouldn't but I have to
Only for you

Whatever else is in the back of my skull
I have for you the most compassion of all
I like the colour of the holes in your eyes
I wanna kiss you on the top of your thigh

Look at me
Look what you've done to me
I'm shaking uncontrollably
Stuck in this fantasy
I'm thinking things I shouldn't be
Burn myself out for you
I wouldn't but I have to




Only for you
If only for you x4

The words are an ode to the beauty of the love interest, who is described as "so pretty." However, the singer laments that their lover is unaware of the depth of their love and desire. The lyrics "I only do it when I'm thinking of you" suggest that the singer finds sexual fulfilment only when thinking of their lover. This idea is further reinforced in the lines "You are my fantasy I won't let it go" where the singer admits that their lover has become their sexual fantasy, and they are not willing to let that feeling go.


The singer's obsession with their lover is palpable, as exemplified in the lines "I wanna kiss you on the top of your thigh." The imagery created by these lyrics emphasizes the intensity of the singer's sexual and emotional desire towards their lover. The chorus of the song, "Look what you've done to me / I'm shaking uncontrollably" captures the singer's vulnerability and his inability to control the intense emotions that the object of his affection evokes in him. The lines "Burn myself out for you / I wouldn't but I have to / Only for you" encapsulate the message of the song. The singer is willing to sacrifice his personal well-being and happiness for the sake of his love interest, only because of his deep and intense feelings for them.
