Halo
The Rooster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh brother please can you help me
You're in some trouble again
Everyones on your back
Keep slipping through the cracks
Too elevated to care
You just close your eyes and carry on like there's nothing wrong
Just can't talk about
The things you have to live without
Take your worries away
Just can't help yourself
Its all about you and no one else
Take your halo away
Oh brother why won't you listen
To voices not in your head
You're being out of line
Stop marching out of time
Trust me not every things fine
Bridge
Chorus
I'm only try to get through
Because if I can't help you
How can you help yourself
I throw you against the wall
Try and break your fall
Oh brother you are my best friend
I wanna help you get through
You've got to understand
You're building on the sand
I want the best for you
Chorus
The Rooster's song Halo is an emotional and powerful piece that showcases the singer's desire to help his brother who is going through a tough time. The song depicts a person who is struggling with life but refuses to acknowledge his problems and instead chooses to carry on without discussing them. The lines "Just can't talk about, The things you have to live without, Take your worries away" suggest that the person is in denial, trying to escape from reality by ignoring his problems. The singer is aware of this and tries to make his brother realize that he needs to listen to other voices and not just the ones inside his head. The line "Trust me, not everything's fine" highlights the singer's concern for his brother's well-being.
The chorus, "Take your halo away" is a metaphorical depiction of the person's pride causing him to be unable to see his problems. The line "It's all about you and no one else" reinforces this idea that the person is not willing to accept that he needs help from others. However, the singer wants to help his brother and is willing to do whatever it takes to make him see the truth. The line "I throw you against the wall, try and break your fall" shows the singer's willingness to go to great lengths to help his brother overcome his struggles.

They found a guy who was am equal. He did some alternate RWBY animation. They wanted to hire him but he didn't want to move to another state if I can recall correctly

The YouTube algorithm has brought me here today after 10 years. And I’ll say it again as I said 10 years ago. Monty will always be my hero in the animation industry. God I miss him..

Fun fact: You can say, Sarge truly was holding back since she was a girl. Remember when he knocked her out with one hit when he thought she was a guy?
@cyberneticmango7882
counterpoint, sarge is physically incapable of hitting a girl, the only exception being when he thinks it's a guy
