half open
The Bilinda Butchers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it ok or do you think its wrong?
Half opened eyes, wake me with your voice
Full hearted sighs now don't make a noise
I'll wait a long time to really understand
Promise its worth it though it not what you planned
Don't let me keep you from doing what you want
Hold on until you're gone
Hold on until you're gone
Hold on until you're gone
Hold on until you're gone
Hold on until you're gone
Hold on until you're gone
Hold on until you're gone
The lyrics of "Half Open" by The Bilinda Butchers contain a sense of uncertainty and questioning in regards to a relationship. The singer appears to be grappling with their own feelings toward their partner and whether or not they are doing the right thing by staying with them. The opening line "I know you'll stay, but I don't know how long" creates a sense of hesitation and doubt, as though the singer is not entirely sure about the future of their relationship.
The second line, "Is it ok or do you think it's wrong?" further reinforces this sense of uncertainty, as the singer is unsure if their own feelings about the relationship are valid. The following lines create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, with the reference to "half opened eyes" and "full hearted sighs." The imagery in the lyrics creates a feeling of being close to someone, yet there is still a sense of hesitation and doubt.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Hold on until you're gone" multiple times, which could be interpreted as either a plea to stay together or a recognition that the relationship may not last forever. The final line "Don't let me keep you from doing what you want" suggests that the singer may be holding their partner back in some way, further adding to the sense of uncertainty in the song.
Overall, "Half Open" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them.
