No Halo Lyrics
This last week
I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep
Maybe that's why I've been weak
The same things that plague you still plaguing me
God called you to fulfill a vacancy
I tried to see why it wasn't me
So I didn't show up to your funeral
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
I'm placing bets against myself
And honestly I'm a mess
With the car engulfed in flames
I am a wreck
Things I should have said through call or text
I've just really been so busy and I regret
Cause if there's no rest for the wicked
I'm as evil as it gets
Thing I should have said
So I didn't show up to your funeral
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
So when you show up to my funeral
Will you be wearing white or black?
And I know the voice is in you
It's the energy I lack
So if there's a race to heaven
I will surely come in last
And if there's a race to heaven
I will always come in last
I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep
Maybe that's why I've been weak
The same things that plague you still plaguing me
God called you to fulfill a vacancy
I tried to see why it wasn't me
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
And honestly I'm a mess
With the car engulfed in flames
I am a wreck
Things I should have said through call or text
I've just really been so busy and I regret
I'm as evil as it gets
Thing I should have said
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
Will you be wearing white or black?
And I know the voice is in you
It's the energy I lack
So if there's a race to heaven
I will surely come in last
And if there's a race to heaven
I will always come in last

Great song - gotta rock some self-loathing funk. Sounds like a cross between a Kings of Leon and My Chemical Romance song. Love the video.

This song is about human emotion, how we process emotion. The music video also follows these themes, and I highly suggest you watch it.
It's about grief. "This last week, I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep" not being able to sleep out of grief, thoughts, sorrow. This person is mourning a loved one, as indicated by the chorus "I didn't show up to your funeral" however, what he did do? He showed up to their house. Perhaps he forgot they died, the brain in denial, unable to process this loss. Or maybe he didn't want to go to the funeral because that's not how he wanted to remember his friend. "God called you to fulfill a vacancy" yet another theme pertaining to the death of a loved one. The vacancy being in heaven.
