Halfman
Sector Seven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'll make this my final stand
I'm growing tired of myself
Still I'm going to beat this horse again
Look no further than yourself
Switch places for a change
Don't you see my quiet belief is right
We all co-exist on this
It's a common ground a religion found
To me life has a meaning, if I know your reeling
Your image in my mind
Your actions fresh inside
Paybacks, they're a bitch you prick
So I'm going to let it slide
Halfman there is a plan
So I'll make this my final stand
I'm growing tired of myself
Still I'm going to beat this horse again
I'm going to beat this horse again
You've had some time to think
So I'm sure this comes as no surprise
Here I document the things I've seen
It keeps me civilized
The song Halfman by Sector Seven reveals an internal conflict being faced by the singer. The opening line, "Halfman there is a plan," suggests a realization that there is a predetermined fate or destiny that the singer is meant to fulfill. Despite this, the singer expresses a desire to make a final stand against the aspects of themselves that they are growing tired of. The phrase "Beat this horse again" is an idiom implying a futile attempt at a difficult task. The repetition of this phrase conveys the singer's frustration with their constant struggle to overcome their own flaws and negative habits.
The second verse prompts the listener to reflect on their own selves and consider switching places with others to gain a new perspective. The line, "Don't you see my quiet belief is right," highlights the importance of self-awareness and trusting one's intuition. The singer acknowledges the significance of the people they respect and trust, and how their opinions and beliefs contribute to a collective understanding of existence. The unifying themes of common ground and shared beliefs are further emphasized in the line "It's a common ground a religion found," indicating that the search for meaning and purpose is universal.
The chorus repeats the opening lines, suggesting a cyclical nature of the singer's internal conflict. In the final verse, the singer expresses forgiveness towards an unspecified person, stating that they will let their actions slide. The line "It keeps me civilized" implies that documenting their experiences and emotions allows the singer to better understand themselves and maintain their composure. The song ends on the same note it began, with the singer expressing their determination to overcome their own limitations despite the inherent struggles.
