Halo
Kate Havnevik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who do you hunger, in this great unknown?
Memories of me will fade, and you will found someone knew.
See everyone halo bright in beauty
See everyone arrayed for you to try
You're not alone in being alone,
Six billion people;
Who do you mean, when you change your tone?
Who do you dream of when you're half asleep with one eye open
You'll become your life soon, and I won't be in your way
See everyone halo bright in beauty
See everyone arrayed for you to try
You're not alone in being alone,
Six billion people;
One of them's right for you
Who do you seek, when you're staring into space?
Who do you seek out at night in cyberspace?
See everyone halo bright in beauty
See everyone arrayed for you to try
You're not alone in being alone,
Six billion humans;
One of them's right for you
The lyrics of "Halo" by Kate Havnevik talks about the complexities of love, and how it can be both beautiful and painful. The song begins with a series of questions that people often ask themselves when they experience heartbreak. The first few lines describe the feelings of loss and loneliness that one experiences when love is gone. The lines "Memories of me will fade, and you will find someone new" show that the singer is aware that she will eventually be forgotten and replaced by someone else. Despite this, she still hopes that the person she's talking to will find happiness.
The chorus of the song is a reminder to the listener that they are not alone in their search for love. The lines "See everyone halo bright in beauty, see everyone arrayed for you to try" suggest that there are many potential partners out there, and that the search for true love is a journey that everyone must undertake. The repetition of the line "You're not alone in being alone" emphasizes that everyone experiences loneliness at some point in their lives, but that there is hope for finding love.
The second verse of "Halo" continues to explore the themes of loneliness and longing. The questions "Who do you mean when you change your tone? Who do you dream of when you're half asleep with one eye open?" suggest that the singer is trying to understand the object of her affections. However, the lines "You'll become your life soon, and I won't be in your way" also show that the singer is aware that their time together is limited.
Overall, the lyrics of "Halo" paint a picture of the complexities of love and the search for happiness. The song acknowledges the pain of heartbreak but also offers hope that everyone can find love if they keep searching.
