Halo
NDE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That to the surface brings
The comfort in the pain
The fear behind the smile
We lose along the way
The things we leave behind
Along the precipice
Of things we should not climb
There's an anchor around my heart
Dragging me down
Beneath the waves in silence I fall
There's a halo above my head
Spinning me 'round
Cause I don't know if I'm alive or dead
A dagger in my hand
Bleeding me dry
And it's always little things
That to the surface brings
The space you need to breathe
Before the curtain call
The light that leads the way
Before you hit the wall
The mountain that you climb
Just to take a fall
For blind among the blind
There's an anchor around my heart
Dragging me down
Beneath the waves in silence I fall
There's a halo above my head
Spinning me 'round
Cause I don't know if I'm alive or dead
There's a dagger in my hand
Bleeding me dry
And all we have to lose is time
And what lose we leave behind
Stay around and we will shine
In "Halo," NDE explores the notion that it's often the little things that bring out our emotions and reveal our deepest fears and desires. The first verse focuses on the things we leave behind in life, the things that we climb to achieve even when we know we shouldn't, and the anchors that hold us down when we're trying to move forward. The chorus reflects the sense of confusion and uncertainty that comes with these emotions, with the singer unsure if they are alive or dead, and a sense of disorientation created by the spinning halo above their head. The second verse touches on the importance of finding space to breathe and the light that leads the way, but also acknowledges the inevitability of hitting the wall and falling down.
Overall, "Halo" is a poignant and reflective song that explores the complex emotions that come with life's little moments. It recognises that we are all human and that our struggles and fears are often intertwined with the beauty and joy that we experience.

And it's always little things
Small details often reveal our emotions and thoughts
That to the surface brings
These details are often hidden or suppressed
The comfort in the pain
Pain can provide solace and healing
The fear behind the smile
Behind happy appearances lies internal turmoil
We lose along the way
In life, we abandon things we once held dear
The things we leave behind
Memories of the past can haunt us
Along the precipice
At the edge of a dangerous path
Of things we should not climb
We may pursue activities or relationships that harm us
And I'm the first in line
The singer is willing to take risks and face danger
There's an anchor around my heart

Dragging me down
The pain is holding them back
Beneath the waves in silence I fall
The singer is drowning in their own thoughts
There's a halo above my head
The singer is experiencing a spiritual awakening
Spinning me 'round
The awakening is overwhelming and disorienting
Cause I don't know if I'm alive or dead
The singer is questioning their existence and purpose
A dagger in my hand
The singer is harming themselves
Bleeding me dry
This self-destructive behavior is draining the singer
The space you need to breathe
Sometimes we need space to reflect and rest
Before the curtain call
Before it's too late to make changes
The light that leads the way
Guidance and hope can help us through difficult times
Before you hit the wall
Before we reach a breaking point
The mountain that you climb
Challenges and obstacles we must face
Just to take a fall
Success is not guaranteed
For blind among the blind
We are all navigating life blindly
And all we have to lose is time
Our time is limited and precious
And what lose we leave behind
We will be remembered by what we do and say
Stay around and we will shine
We can achieve greatness if we stick together

Dear James, I feel so alone in this world. My life has been very difficult, I've just lost a daughter who's now with Jesus. I've other children who find this life difficult too. I'm broken & wish some days to go Home so bad, but I have to stay for my children who all have needs & to show love to others - I feel that's my job. Each day is a struggle but I ask Jesus for strength. Pray & ask God to guide you in His will look to His Word for strength. I do understand.
