Is There Somewhere
Halse Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flashing those eyes like highway signs
Light one up and hand it over, rest your head upon my shoulder
I just wanna feel your lips against my skin
White sheets, bright lights, crooked teeth, and the night life
You told me this is right where it begins
But your lips hang heavy underneath me
I'm trying not to let it show, that I don't want to let this go
Is there somewhere you can meet me?
'Cause I clutched your arms like stairway railings
And you clutched my brain and eased my ailing
You're writing lines about me; romantic poetry
Your girl's got red in her cheeks, 'cause we're something she can't see
And I try to refrain but you're stuck in my brain
And all I do is cry and complain because second's not the same
I'm sorry but I fell in love tonight
I didn't mean to fall in love tonight
You're looking like you fell in love tonight
Could we pretend that we're in love?
I'm sorry but I fell in love tonight
I didn't mean to fall in love tonight
You're looking like you fell in love tonight
Could we pretend that we're in love?
The lyrics of Halsey's song "Is There Somewhere" depict a scenario where the singer (presumably Halsey) is with someone in a hotel room. They seem to be engaged in a romantic encounter as the person dances in their tube socks and flashes their eyes like highway signs. The scene is further set with the mention of white sheets, bright lights, crooked teeth, and the night life. However, the singer is hesitant about the encounter, as they promised themselves they wouldn't let this person "complete" them.
The lyrics exude a bittersweet feeling as the singer is trying to hold on to the moment, not wanting to let it go, but fully aware that it might not work out. They ask, "Is there somewhere you can meet me?" hinting at a possible uncertainty in whether they will see each other again. Halsey's reference to "clutching" each other is a metaphor for them holding on to each other. "Stairway railings" signify support, with the other person clutching Halsey's brain and easing her ailing.
The chorus mentions Halsey falling in love, which she claims was unintentional. She wants to pretend that they are in love, showing her vulnerability and hoping that the moment can be prolonged. The final couplet, "Could we pretend that we're in love?" heightens the wistful yearning for an impracticable romance, while acknowledging the limitations of the moment.

This is the best song ever created
It's calm, dark, cold, and full of memories
I love the way there's no chorus in this song
This song goes, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Then this part where the melody is so beautiful, ended with the part 5 which is so flawless
It's like the end of the world, a new sensation i've never felt before
Part 1 : 00:00
Part 2 : 00:30
Part 3 : 01:00
Part 4 : 01:30
Melody : 02:00
Part 5 : 02:30
Ending : 03:00

@Jayrogueartwork
this song makes me feel like im inside myself
i know
thats weird to say but i mean like
inside my body
Inside my cells
deep deep within my spirit
and its cold inside,
Its cold
and lonely
and empty-...
but yet i feel content...
i feel free.

Cringey Name Yah ‘,
@iusethisplatform
I think it’s definitely in her top 5. It’s just so expressive and moving. Every sound is so ominous and captivating, leaving the explosive climax of the song at the end to add the perfect touch of diversity and emotion.
