Obey, obey
Come won't you stay
Sincere, sincere
All ends in tears
Endure, endure
Thoughts most in cure
Concede, concede
But both shall we bleed
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Allure, allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide, abide
Secrets inside
Deprive, deprive
To feel so alive
Obey, obey
Just don't turn away
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection
Too dark too sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Come won't you stay
Sincere, sincere
All ends in tears
Endure, endure
Thoughts most in cure
Concede, concede
But both shall we bleed
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Allure, allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide, abide
Secrets inside
Deprive, deprive
To feel so alive
Obey, obey
Just don't turn away
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection
Too dark too sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I believe this song touches the theme of childhood trauma and in a way can be seen as a spiritual successor to the song Enter Sandman. Both songs are about a child (my interpretation) going to sleep but dark thoughts making sleep impossible. The darkness doesnt just come from the night but are way worse - they wont go away even when the light is turned on, and in a way the night becomes a comfort where the darkness can live its own life without confronting the real world. Both songs have religious references ("halo on fire", "prayers cannot get through", "pray the lord my soul to keep" etc.). It is known that James Hetfield was brought up as a christian scientist which he came to hate as their belief played a part in his mothers death to illness (not allowing medicine but only healing thorugh prayer etc).
The end of the song is interesting with the lyrics "Hello darkness, say goodbye". In themselfes this can be interpreted in many ways - but the music that is played when these lines are sung are epic and uplifting. This indicates that the protagonist of the song have found a way out of the darkness - the darkness is still there for sure but he is now able to recognise it and say both hello and goodbye to it. This is a very different ending when compared to Enter Sandman that ends on a darker note. Halo on Fire thus becomes a song not only about trauma but about overcoming it as well.
