For a brief (personal) description on each track, the Cult
Of Halo delves between the lines of Halo lyrics to take a peek
at what lies beneath. Just what is 'Echoes' all about? And could 'Half
Formed Thoughts' be the soppiest love song in the whole wide world?

STILL
HERE |
:
about feeling wonderful yet unexpected feelings of love towards someone
you no longer see, or is no longer with you. You can't imagine being without
them and never thought you could feel this way towards anyone. A feeling
of being totally detached and 'lost' in the world as you once knew it. These
strong feelings even spill into your dreams, and even though they've gone
- you're still in the same emotional place that they left you in... |
| |
|
| SANCTIMONIOUS |
:
about realising that some you really care for doesn't feel the same way
towards you. The situation is going so badly that everything you do seems
doomed to failure. If you could have one sign of a loving emotion from your
object of affection it would mean so much to you that you'd even obsess
over it. But they are not willing or able to and its killing your fragile
soul inside. |
| |
|
| ECHOES |
:
being in a relationship with a highly emotional person, someone who gets
very angry and jealous at things (hence the 'eyes of green and red' line).
And yet both parties seem to know this is a familar 'thrill of the chase'
game that they play with each other. Both know the rules, and however scary
things can sometimes be with them - you still love them. |
| |
|
| HALF
FORMED THOUGHTS |
:
could be about love or drugs. love: wanting to get under someone's wall
they've put up to keep you out. Needing that one chance to prove to them
taht you do love them. Drugs: Or that one chemical hit through that 'hole
big enough to let it in'. Just take that one hit and that'll make everything
all ok. Your conscience is playing with you - if the drug could be 'king
of everything', in control of you, it'd 'buy you a smile', make you happy
and content. |

 |
COLD
LIGHT OF DAY |
:
like waking up after a heavy nights clubbing and realising that after all
the bright lights and loud music have faded away you have nothing of any
meaning to say to each other. You've literally 'broken every bone' to be
with them, and now realise that whatever has been said before - its not
working out. |

| I
CONFESS |
:
perhaps about an insecure arrogance of someone saything that you can't get
anyone better than themselves, so don't even bother looking. You pander
to their every move, you do whatever they say, and you are not respected
for it at all.
They are insecure because of their constant need to have their brilliance
validated by you. If you notice their real 'confusions' and stop building
up their 'delusions' of themselves then their facade is quickly broken. |

| ONLY
FOR YOU |
:
perhaps being in a relationship with a person who is very pretty, but cant
turn you on in the same ways as this previous person who you cant get out
of your head. finding yourself in a stuation with someone who turns you
on in every physical and mental way possible and you cant help but shake
and think highly charged thoughts...
hence the urge to kiss on one of the sexiest parts of a womans body - the
top of suspender area. whatever else is going on |
| |
|
| LUNATIC
RIDE |
:
hints at death or a feeling of being quietly and apologetically unhappy.
slightly and slowly knowing that you're going stir crazy. trying to reassure
the people around you that you know whats going on inside of your head,
even though they're not happy about it. the translucent eyes and skin could
come from being dead and therefore being 'an angel as well' or being the
'living dead' only existing in a ghost like state, drifting through life
wanting and to hide away from the world being nothing to anybody. |
| |
|
| ANGST |
:
about feeling like the least important person in the world. you don't matter
to anyone. your life seems like a total mess, you mess up even the most
straightforward parts of life. you can't even get those right. someone in
your life is constantly hurting you and you want them to 'back up' and notice
the hurt they are causing you. It's not that you want anyone's pity though,
just a little understanding and you'll feel able to get through the day. |

| VOICE
FROM THE GRAVE |
:
about someone having killed themselves over a relationship that has ended.
Or someone who feels so dead inside now that the person they still love
has left them. Being just 'a voice from the grave' without them. |
