UTOPIA
Halo Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make it seem logical for a change
We're mothers when it's only viable
And fathers if it's marketable
And can I make a million dollars
If I sold her golden egg
Everybody's all American, future gattacan.
For I am nothing more than your self-absorbed
Utopia so vain..
For what you call flaw I call character
That separates one from another
And if we all looked the same
Our uniqueness becomes erased
Everybody's all American, future gattacan.
Deep within bitter fantasies
Deep within
Oh lord i'm praying for your storm about to come
Trapped in utopia, i've learned to trust no one
I'm growing number to the hedonistic plea's
Same ones back then that killed
THE CHILD INSIDE OF ME!!!!
And those thorns they grow inside of me
All American, future gattacan
Everybody's all American, future gattacan.
Living the lie, living the lie
Deep within bitter fantasies
The lyrics of Halo Grey's song Utopia reflects the desire for change and shedding light upon the flaws and uniqueness of every individual. The lines "and I want nothing more than to make it seem logical for a change" speaks of the desire for logical thinking instead of following a preconceived notion of what society deems acceptable. "We're mothers when it's only viable and fathers if it's marketable" portrays society's need to conform to gender roles, emphasizing the fact that society is only interested in what is profitable. The line "And can I make a million dollars if I sold her golden egg" is referring to the pursuit of wealth in exchange for the sacrifice of an individual's personal values.
The song also highlights the impact of societal pressure on self-absorption, leading to the creation of a utopian world where everything is perfect, yet it only serves as a facade for hiding flaws. The lyrics continue with "For I am nothing more than your self-absorbed utopia so vain" showcases a world-based only on self-love and vanity. The line "For what you call flaw, I call character that separates one from another" asserts that individuality is vital and should be celebrated instead of being shamed. The song concludes with "Living a lie, living a lie, deep within bitter fantasies," suggesting that the world created around us is only a deception, creating a reality that does not truly exist.

Daniel Petry
Hell yeah it is, I wish more people new about Halo Grey, but they only released a couple demos.
I'm still trying to find Doveless, the only song by them I can't find.
It's my favorite piece of lost media.
Numetal4life
@Daniel Petry agreed! I discovered this band because Dennis from 20dfc (which is one of my fav bands of all time) started this band. I didn’t realize how fucking good this ep is shit!
Daniel Petry
@Numetal4life I'm also a big 20dfc fan. I remember when the demos were easy to find. Except Doveless. I'm still trying to find it
Numetal4life
@Daniel Petry props to u for even finding these cause other than hearing them on this channel I haven’t found them anywhere else, wish I was alive when they put this ep out so I could have a copy
Daniel Petry
@Numetal4life I downloaded the song's when they were available online. That's why I uploaded them. They were such a great band and I've been holdin g on to the mp3s for like 2 decades. I'm just glad to know there's more people other than me that still love these songs

Where you get these songs?
Daniel Petry
I've had them almost 20 years. Most came from their website, and I think I got a few from Soulseek. There's one song they released that I was never able to find. I heard about them from theprp.com back in the day and I checked them out because I was a big fan of D Hauz and 20 Dead Flower Children.

@Daniel Petry Will you help me find Halo Grey songs?
