Halo
Manic Drive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't trying to hide who I wanna be
And you criticism means nothing to me
What I wear, I wear it proud
And when I rock it (ya) I rock it loud
C'mon!
I'm not afraid to show what my heart believes
All the pressure and lies don't affect me
I'm not here to be part of the crowd
I'm here to rock em with a heavenly sound

I'm not ashamed of it
My heart is transparent
I don't got anything to hide
No I'm not covering
Oh you can see my wings
I'm not an angel that's in disguise

I rock my Halo
I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh
I rock my Halo
I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh

They don't confuse me with any other guys
Cause my halo is like a neon light
And all the people they can tell me apart
I'm forever glowing in the dark
I'm gonna take these wings, and open them wide
I'm gonna be an angel in the people's eyes
I'm representing like I'm not of this world
So you can call me supernatural

I'm not ashamed of it
My heart is transparent
I don't got anything to hide
No I'm not covering
Oh you can see my wings
I'm not an angel that's in disguise

I rock my Halo
I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh
I rock my Halo
I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh

And I'm not ashamed of it
(Let the people know)
I'm not ashamed of it
(Let the people know)
I'm not ashamed of it
(Let the people know)
I'm not ashamed of it

I got no rock, I got no roll
Without my halo
I got no rhythm, I got no soul
Without my halo
I got no rock, I got no roll
Without my halo
I got no rhythm, I got no soul
So let the people know

I rock my Halo
I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh
I rock my Halo
I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh
I rock my
HHHAAALLLOOO
Oh oh oh
I rock my Halo




I rock my Halo
Oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

In “Halo”, Manic Drive is boldly proclaiming that they won't hide who they are, even in the face of criticism. They wear their beliefs proudly, feeling no pressure to conform to societal norms. They are not here to blend in with the crowd but to stand out by rocking people with their unique and heavenly sound. They represent themselves as “supernatural” by being transparent about who they are and not hiding behind any façades.


The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that they “rock my Halo”, an allusion to a Christian symbol that represents purity, goodness, and divine connection, creating the idea that they are representing God through their music. They believe that their heavenly sound, represented by their halo, distinguishes them from others, hence, they will always be visible to the world as long as they keep their halo shining.


Through the song, Manic Drive reminds everyone to embrace their identity and not to feel ashamed of it. In the end, the song is a celebration of unique voices and the power of standing out from the crowd.

I wish I could say and sing this from fully conviction... That I won't t be ashamed and that I won't cover my Christianity!
That I am not afraid to show Christ and tell about Him, my Saviour, to unbelievers... Someday God will made me do this...

Thank you guys for this rockin' song with a very strong message!
