Halo Lyrics
Souls suffer the landscape
In shrouds of dew, as ghosts.
Their eternity is for searching
But a certain dissnsion grows.
I've seen them wander,
Voices raised in prayer
Consorting in whisper,
They curse the ones not there.
If you didn't want this and I didn't need it,
Then how has this interest become an addiction?
If you didnt want it, then why cant you do without?
I know I'm not your first one,
But I pray I'll be your last.
I've never seen you cry before,
But I know when I make you laugh.
I know and you know, you've heard this all before...
These arms are for holding on.
This heart won't stray from home.
I know, I know...
God tell me, where's my Halo?
In shrouds of dew, as ghosts.
Their eternity is for searching
But a certain dissnsion grows.
I've seen them wander,
Voices raised in prayer
Consorting in whisper,
They curse the ones not there.
If you didn't want this and I didn't need it,
Then how has this interest become an addiction?
If you didnt want it, then why cant you do without?
I know I'm not your first one,
But I pray I'll be your last.
I've never seen you cry before,
But I know when I make you laugh.
I know and you know, you've heard this all before...
These arms are for holding on.
This heart won't stray from home.
I know, I know...
God tell me, where's my Halo?

The first 2 verses are bizarre and I've tried fruitlessly to think of a possible interpretation. They seem totally disjointed when compared to the rest of the lyrics, which are relatively straightforward.
I heard this song once on VH1 and it got stuck in my head for close to five years until I finally got an mp3 of it. I think it's about something (drugs? sex?) that the singer and the person he's singing to got into, thinking they could easily get out of, but they ended up addicted. I think I remember one of the band members saying that this was the first song that he ever wrote directly about someone.
Maybe getting addicted to a relationship or too dependent on a person.. {Then how has this interest become an addiction? If you didnt want it, then why cant you do without?} Just continuing yours a bit..but yeah theres my two cents
@XxbrokendreamexX That is what I think as well. If not a person or a relationship, something that is not usually something inherently destructive. Something this person has taken up, as a hobby perhaps, has overtaken their life.

Looking at what @saatwik and @AlmightyChrissy wrote I'm only slightly less confused by this song. I think both are on to something though. It's as though they've both gotten in way over their head with something and as a last result have turned to prayer. Towards the end when he hear's Where's your halo? It's as though he is trying to blame the other for all their problems and is being told you're not perfect, you're as much to blame as she is.
