Trouble
Halsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lick it off my lips like you needed me?
Would you sit me on a couch?
With your fingers in my mouth?
You look so cool when you're reading me
Let's cause a little trouble
Oh, you make me feel so weak
Right before they touch my cheek
But I've got my mind, made up this time
'Cause there's a menace in my bed
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
And I've got my mind, made up this time
Go on and light a cigarette, set a fire in my head
Set a fire in my head, tonight
Would you lie for me?
Cross your sorry heart and hope to die for me?
Would you pin me to a wall?
Would you beg or would you crawl?
Stick a needle in your hungry eyes for me?
Let's cause a little trouble
Oh, you make me feel so weak
I bet you kiss your knuckles
Right before they touch my cheek
But I've got my mind, made up this time
'Cause there's a menace in my bed
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
And I've got my mind, made up this time
Go on and light a cigarette, set a fire in my head
Set a fire in my head, tonight
Don't forget me, don't forget me
I wouldn't leave you if you'd let me
Hmm, when you met me when you met me
You told me you were gonna get me
Don't forget me don't forget me
I wouldn't leave you if you'd
And I've got my mind, made up this time
'Cause there's a menace in my bed
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
Can you see his silhouette?
And I've got my mind, made up this time
Go on and light a cigarette, set a fire in my head
Set a fire in my head tonight, tonight, tonight
Set a fire in my head tonight
In "Trouble," Halsey is singing about a toxic relationship that is full of passion and danger. The first verse has her asking her lover if they would do crazy things for her like bleed or stick their fingers in her mouth. She's turned on by his cool demeanor, even when he's devouring her. The chorus talks about the trouble they cause and how weak he makes her feel. She mentions that she's made up her mind about him, but not in a positive way. There's a menace in her bed that she can see, and she's asking if he can too. She wants him to light a cigarette and set a fire in her head, likely referring to the volatile passion that they share.
The second verse continues with the theme of danger and asking how far he would go for her, including begging or crawling. She wants him to stick a needle in his eyes for her, which may be a metaphor for being so addicted to her that he'll do anything. The chorus repeats, and then there is a bridge where Halsey begs him not to forget her, as he promised to get her when they first met. The song ends with a final chorus, repeating the same themes of danger and passion.

I'm in too deep to leave you willingly.
When you met me when you met me
When you first encountered me, you knew I was trouble.
You told me you were gonna get me
You promised to possess and control me, and you've kept that promise.
Set a fire in my head tonight
Inflame my mind with your dangerous and alluring presence tonight.
