Paloalto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To look as though to call
With eyes in front of your mirror
Your taste is rough
As the show you know
Well
And I go and think it over
Now
Come out your land and see
Feeling nothing but heaven
The world
Coloured you like she does
Without them who always crush you madly
Well what have you done
In your cloned living**
Well
Even if it's sad
Then I'll go off hand it over
Well
Here is the way to feel
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladada ooh
It's impossible out there
Well
It's impossible in here
You know
Seeing nothing but halo's
Won't keep you strong
Like the storm
With angels looking for hangman
What they want
She figured out
This dark raving man
Well
Lay on your back
And I go off it's over
Well
Lay on your back and scream
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladadadada
Ladada ooh
Ladada ooh
Oh oh
The lyrics of Paloalto's song "Hangman" seem to explore themes of self-examination, as well as the idea of being trapped or oppressed by society. The opening lines suggest that the singer's appearance is something they've deliberately created, perhaps to call attention to themselves in some way. The references to a mirror and "taste" suggest that they are obsessed with their own image and how they present themselves to the world. The subsequent lines about lying on one's back and "thinking it over" could be interpreted as a moment of introspection or self-reflection, perhaps to question the authenticity of the persona they've constructed.
The chorus contains repeating lines, including "feeling nothing but heaven" and "seeing nothing but halos." These lines could have a number of different meanings, but could suggest the singer feels alienated or disconnected from the world around them, or perhaps that they are searching for some kind of escape. There are also references to "the storm" and "angels looking for hangman" which could be interpreted as external forces working against the singer.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is screaming or experiencing some kind of emotional outburst, which could be seen as a release from the pressure of the world around them. Overall, "Hangman" seems to be a song about the struggle to find one's place in the world, and the ways in which society can limit or oppress individuals.
