Breathe in your faith
Bleed out
On the broken glass
In the road that we once laid
Relive the rage
Live in this cage
Bleed out
We were closing fast
On the broken glass highway
Watching my Half Life
Pass before my eyes
I'm watching my Half Life
Passing before my eyes
She gives away
He wins the day
Bleed out
We were holding hands
On our broken glass highway
Watching my Half Life
Pass before my eyes
I'm watching my Half Life
Passing before my eyes
We were holding hands
On our broken glass highway
Watching my Half Life
Pass before my eyes
I'm watching my Half Life
Passing before my eyes
The lyrics to The Loyal Order's song "Half Life" depict a sense of struggle and introspection. The opening lines, "Breathe in your faith, call down the snakes," suggest a conflict between one's beliefs and the negative influences or temptations that surround them. The idea of calling down snakes could symbolize the struggles and challenges that come with staying true to one's faith or values.
The recurring theme of bleeding out on broken glass implies pain and vulnerability. It could represent the wounds and scars of past experiences or relationships that have left a lasting impact. The line, "In the road that we once laid, relive the rage, live in this cage," suggests a feeling of being trapped by the consequences of decisions made in the past. The singer seems to be stuck in a cycle of reliving past anger or regrets, unable to break free from the cage they have created for themselves.
The chorus, "Watching my Half Life pass before my eyes, I'm watching my Half Life passing before my eyes," reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the realization that time is slipping away. It conveys a sense of urgency and the need to make the most of the time we have.
In the verse, the lyrics shift to a relationship dynamic. The lines "She gives away, he wins the day, bleed out, we were holding hands on our broken glass highway" suggest a sense of imbalance or power struggle within the relationship. The idea of holding hands on a broken glass highway implies a willingness to endure hardship together, even if it means getting hurt along the way.
Overall, "Half Life" explores themes of struggle, self-reflection, and the passage of time. It delves into the complexities of personal beliefs, relationships, and the impact of past experiences.

On the broken glass
In the midst of a difficult and shattered situation

Experience and revisit the intense anger and frustration
Live in this cage
Existence trapped in a confining and limiting environment
We were closing fast

On the broken glass highway
On the challenging and turbulent path we've chosen
Watching my Half Life
Observing the moments and phases of my life passing by
Pass before my eyes
Flowing in front of me, being witnessed
She gives away
She surrenders or sacrifices her desires or dreams
He wins the day
He emerges victorious or achieves success
We were holding hands
We were closely connected and supporting each other
Watching my Half Life
Observing the moments and phases of my life passing by
Passing before my eyes
Flowing in front of me, being witnessed
On our broken glass highway
On the challenging and turbulent path we're traveling together
Watching my Half Life
Observing the moments and phases of my life passing by
Passing before my eyes
Flowing in front of me, being witnessed
