Halo
Sacha Sacket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wearing through thoughts I fight
Like are you real? Am I right for you?
Your halo is all I find.
Wonder why you shine so bright
When I've been real, I've been right to you
Though you could say no one's looking
Follow the length of your dream,
Wake up to find you've got nothing
Borrow the rate race routine,
Try to squeak by, end up screaming
'Cause although you never believe,
I know you'll still try to do the right thing
Your halo was never light,
Uses hope like a knife
When I find nothing right with me
For these dreams
I won't see but that don't mean
There can't be greater things
Dreamt for me
And you know I've never been seen
Though you could say we're all looking
Follow the lenght of my dream,
Wake up to find a different meaning
Borrow the rate race routine,
Try to sneak by, still get nothing
'Cause although I have to believe,
Watch me struggle to do the right thing
In Sacha Sacket's song "Halo," the lyrics describe the struggles of a person romanticizing an idealized version of someone, represented by a halo. The singer is plagued by thoughts of this person, and questions whether they truly exist or if they are meant for each other. Despite the shimmering and untouchable nature of this ideal, the singer continues to cling onto the idea of the halo, wondering why this person shines so brightly. In the second verse, the focus shifts to the struggles of the other person, who the singer believes has never been truly acknowledged or recognized. The singer acknowledges the reality of the rat race and the strain it puts on people, but still believes that this person will try to do the right thing.
Throughout the song, the halo serves as a symbol of an unattainable, perfect entity. Whether it's a person, an idea, or an experience, the singer is constantly grasping for this unreachable ideal. The repetition of the phrases "never been seen" and "follow the length of your/my dream" highlights this sense of yearning and striving for something greater. Despite the challenges that come with trying to pursue the right thing, the singer is determined to keep reaching for this ideal, even if it might never be fully realized.
