Halocene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too bad Im not that easily fooled
And after all wed been through
I thought I meant more to you
Give me something honey
Im so confused
Its not me
So tell me what am I supposed to believe
Without you
I cant breathe
Its impossible for me to feel anything
Please
Dont leave
I keep waiting for you but you never show
And theres so much about me youll never know
When it all comes down to honesty
Well honestly
I never thought Id see you go
Its too much to handle and now
Im alone
Its not you
Its not me
So tell me what am I supposed to believe
Without you
I cant breathe
Its impossible for me to feel anything
Please
Dont leave
You were never there
You never cared
Im sick of pretending
You were never there
Why do I care
Its not you
Its not me
I guess youll have to learn to live without me
Its not you
Its not me
I guess youll have to learn to live without me
Without you
Im free
You make moving on so easy
Its not you
Its not me
I guess youll have to learn to live without me
Without you
Im free
You make moving on so easy
Please
Let me be
In the first verse, the lyrics express a sense of disappointment and betrayal. The singer acknowledges that they can see through the actions of the person they're addressing, and they are not easily fooled. Despite having gone through various experiences together, they had expected to hold more significance in the other person's life. The next line, "give me something honey, I'm so confused," reveals the singer's plea for clarification and understanding.
The chorus reflects the singer's emotional turmoil and dependence on the other person. They explain that the situation is not solely the fault of either party, leaving them unsure of what to believe. Without the other person, the singer is unable to breathe and feels numb, unable to experience any emotions. The plea "don't leave" signifies the singer's desperation and fear of being left alone.
In the second verse, the singer reveals their continued waiting for the person who never shows up. They lament that there are aspects of their life and identity that the other person will never truly know. The line "when it all comes down to honesty, well honestly, I never thought I'd see you go" highlights their disbelief and sadness at the turn of events. The phrase "I'm alone" reflects the singer's sense of isolation after being left behind.
The following chorus repeats the same sentiments as the first chorus, emphasizing the singer's reliance on the other person and their inability to move on without them. The bridge section expresses frustration and resentment towards the person who was never present and did not care. The singer is tired of pretending and questions why they still care despite the lack of reciprocation. They assert that the other person will have to learn to live without them.
In the final part of the song, the chorus is repeated once again. This time, the singer's perspective shifts as they acknowledge their newfound freedom without the other person. They proclaim that the other person makes moving on seem easy, and they finally request to be left alone, suggesting that they are ready to embrace their independence and move forward without the past holding them back.
Line by Line Meaning
I can see what you're trying to do
I understand your intentions
Too bad I'm not that easily fooled
Unfortunately, I am not easily deceived
And after all we'd been through
Considering everything we have experienced together
I thought I meant more to you
I believed I held a greater significance in your life
Give me something honey, I'm so confused
Provide me with some clarity, as I am feeling bewildered
It's not you, it's not me
Neither you nor I are the cause
So tell me what am I supposed to believe
Therefore, inform me of what I should trust
Without you, I can't breathe
In your absence, I struggle to find my breath
It's impossible for me to feel anything
I find it utterly unfeasible to experience emotions
Please, don't leave
I earnestly implore you not to depart
I keep waiting for you but you never show
I continually anticipate your presence, yet you never appear
And there's so much about me you'll never know
There exists a multitude of aspects about myself that you will never comprehend
When it all comes down to honesty, well honestly
In the ultimate pursuit of truthfulness, well, truthfully
I never thought I'd see you go
I never anticipated witnessing your departure
It's too much to handle and now I'm alone
The weight of this situation is overwhelming, and now I find myself solitary
You were never there, you never cared
You were never present, and your concern was nonexistent
I'm sick of pretending
I have grown tired of feigning
Why do I care
Why do I still possess feelings for you
I guess you'll have to learn to live without me
I suppose you will need to adapt to a life in which I am absent
Without you, I'm free
In the absence of you, I experience liberation
You make moving on so easy
You facilitate the process of moving forward effortlessly
Please, let me be
I beseech you to grant me space and independence
