Halo
Kestner Lotte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can see your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can see your halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
And I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
Halo halo halo halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
I can feel your halo
I can see your halo
Halo
In "Halo", Kestner Lotte sings about how vulnerable she is to her love interest as she surrenders to the affection he offers. The song juxtaposes the idea of breaking down barriers with the image of an "angel" and "halo", giving a sense of awe-inspired reverence to the lover. The singer suggests that she is powerless to resist the love she has received because it is too strong and too addictive. It feels as though she is being awoken from a slumber as she falls deeper into love.
The lyrics explore relationships and the power of connecting with someone, breaking down walls that have been built up over time. It seems as though the singer has gone through some tough times before being able to let her lover in, hence why the wall she built was so tall. The metaphor of a halo is used to define the guy as someone who makes her feel seen, heard and loved. It's as if she finally found her savior and prayed that it never fades away.
One interesting fact about the song Halo is that it was written by Beyoncé, Ryan Tedder, and Evan Bogart. They wrote the song while recording Beyonce's third album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce." Another fact is that "Halo" was originally intended for Leona Lewis, but Beyoncé ended up singing it herself. The song has sold over 7 million copies worldwide and peaked at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was also nominated for Record of the Year and won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards. It has been covered by many artists, including Florence + The Machine, and was also featured in an episode of "Glee."

The Young Pope is a cinematographic masterpiece. That scene in Africa was the most powerful monologue about faith and love I've ever heard with this tender and deep song on background. that I'm listening on repeat for several days.
@Anna-tj5qr
I agree! I cried watching this scene! Really amaizing ;)
