Halsey - Ya’aburnee from the ‘if I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ album

Halsey’s command of the different figures of speech as a lyricist is amazing. Her comparing a memory to blade…a weapon, something that can either harm you or the most useful thing or nothing at all, just something that exists. ‘Or it's memory that presses, Like a blade against my throat’, because that's how the most painful memories feel, like they are suffocating you, drawing every last breath from you. ‘ Another word and I could choke’ …….if you’ve ever had someone hold you by the throat or something stuck in your throat…you’d understand that the distance between the you and choking less than a hair breath away, and ironically the choking can signify either relief or more pain….or is it just me?? #symphonyoflittlethings #foundinphrases #halseyfriends #inspiration #littlethingsaboutlife #halseymusic #halseyedit #halsey #lyricedits #lyrics #inspiration
