Halsey – New Americana Lyrics 8 years ago
I feel like the song is about how this generation is learning to accept people for who they are. Though there is still bullying and stereotypes going on today, after hearing others stories we slowly begin to realize what we’ve been doing to them and changing our ways. I’m gonna try to explain what I think each sections means:

Verse 1: Something living their dream after being torn apart multiple times and showing others who told them they couldn’t do it that they could

Verse 2: How we are expecting Homosexuals and Bisexuals into our everyday life

Verse 3: How we’re finding out who we are and what we mean and that if you think differently about our choices, than you need to rethink them because we’re going nothing wrong.

Chorus: I’m pretty sure that this part means that we need to all learn how to accept others for who they are. Like when she says “but we don’t feel like outsiders at all” it’s directing towards how we don’t care how others act/look as long as their happy. And when she says “We are the New Americana” it means that we (the new generation) not only growing in technology but as people as well. There are many people out that who are gay, lesbian, bi, depressed, have anxiety and a lot more and we’re showing the world that we need to learn to accept others for not how they look, but for who they are. Wars and protests are going on because we never learn from our mistakes and we’re trying to show everyone where we’re going wrong, and when we try we get torn down and called assholes! This is why we need more singers like TØP, Melanie Martinez and, of course, Halsey. They all sing about loving them self and others. They bring up things like different kinds of abuse, suicide, mental dissorders and sexualities. We need more people like that or else they rest of the time we have on this world will be spent fighting each other. Also how people (mostly parents) wonder why their children cut and want to kill themself when the answer is THEM! Us (as children and teens) are growing up in this new generation where we are expressing who we really are and are finally being able to climb out of the tomb that our parents have buried us in. And with the messages that aritists like this are bringing are helping, and this is ONLY the beginning!
