Hush
Halo Friendlies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who says my light is out
Why do they hang around
Why do I have to shout?
My simple days they're slipping away
And I'm stuck in here trying to get away
From all the eyes that are looking at me
And I don't know what they mean
I don't know what they mean
Why can't I just belong
What did I do wrong
Your words cut me like a knife
Give me one so I can make it right
And I'm wondering who said these things
About you and me and won't you tell me please
How can I believe when all they want to believe
Are the lies that won't let me be free
The lyrics to "Hush" by Halo Friendlies describe a feeling of isolation and confusion paired with a desire to be understood. The singer questions why others seem to be talking about them, using language that they don't understand ("speaking in tongues"). They express a desire to belong and to make things right, but feel constrained by the negative words of others. It's as if the singer wants to put an end to the rumors and lies so that they can be free to be themselves.
This song speaks to a common human experience: feeling like an outsider or misfit in a group. The singer in "Hush" may feel targeted or singled out by the people around them, as if they are the subject of gossip or judgment. The imagery of light and darkness ("my light is out") adds to the sense of vulnerability that the singer is experiencing. Overall, this song is a plea for understanding and an end to the negativity that is holding the singer back.
