OMG Same I know and I just listened to her singing Girl on fire from sing and dam she can really make a powerful and strong shooting sound.

that’s my fav part😫

What does this line mean?

@@Channelisgone8282 idk

@@Channelisgone8282 This is my interpretation and is in no way shape or form reflective of Halsey's personal feelings or personal interpretation of the song. You will need to actually look to Halsey for their perspective. I will say that I have looked for Halsey's interpretation of these lyrics on the internet and most sites talk about Halsey's album as a whole and the experiences that created it and not this individual song. Songs and music in general mean different things to different people. This is why interpretations may change person to person. From my (a linguists) perspective: "Boys will be boys" has commonly been used to 'alleviate' boys of their actions. When boys/men pull pigtails, push girls on school grounds because they 'like-like' that girl, or even cat call it is commonly written off as "boys will be boys" essentially taking blame for actions from boys/men who conducted said actions and placing it onto the girls/women who received the action. When young boys hear this as children they learn quickly that they are not responsible for their actions; the girls are by being the source of their feelings that generated the action. I personally believe that there is also an element of toxic masculinity at play here that influences people to teach these boys (consciously or subconsciously) that they need to bottle up their feelings and not to express them at all. *TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault and rape mentioning from an educational, societal, standpoint* stay safe :-) This causes a shit load of problems that ripple out into everyday life. When boys don't take responsibility for their actions as boys then they are unable to take responsibility for their actions as men. This leads to more aggressive actions on the side of men against women. We see this by men claiming that what a woman was wearing was provocative and that, therefore, she was deserving of his actions against her. This can be anything from cat calling to rape and sexual assault. Society will write off a woman's experiences by claiming that she shouldn't have been wearing what she was wearing or that she shouldn't have said what she said. This again is movement of blame from men to women. This cycle is further reinforced by people teaching women that it is up to us to keep ourselves safe from men. We are taught that we shouldn't dress in revealing or tight clothes and that we should remove ourselves from potentially dangerous situations quickly. Unfortunately, that is not always possible as men are more often stronger and taller then women and others wont come to the rescue (girls are taught to scream FIRE if then need help and not HELP because people will respond to a fire more often then a cry for help). By teaching girls/women proactively that they need to 'accommodate' boys/men by dressing or speaking a certain way we are teaching girls/women that they need to be responsible for the boys/mans actions instead of the boy/man themselves. Again, this is movement of blame from men to women about an action. "But they were wrong" (Halsey, 2021) is acknowledging that "boys will be boys" is a wrong and unjust statement, that boys/men need to take responsibility and accountability for their actions. This song is about ownership and objectification of women; women as property and as a commodity. The treatment of women by men is cyclic (who do you think teaches the boys that their actions are ok? Their parents either consciously or subconsciously) and that is why the title is tradition. This also happens to be the most emphasized piece of the song: the actions described in the beginning were wrong and that is where Halsey draws your attention to by the vocals themselves. Again I will say that this is my interpretation of these specific lyrics and how they relate to her song as a whole. Could I be wrong? Yes. Its definently possible. The only person who really knows what these lyrics are about is Halsey and we will only know if Halsey themself shares them with us. ~EC P.S. I invite discourse, not anger.

hi guys, i covered The Tradition : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h519d6ue1K6qZWw.html hope you like it

There's a very similar line in Flux by Poppy "require no permission, just ask for forgiveness

ikrrrr

Literally read my mind, very well said!

Stan a scheduled -legend- *fraud*

She had actually already given birth. Normalize postpartum bodies.

Just to clarify. These were all filmed in LA the same week. We're libras. We think ahead.

The fact she was able to complete this song live while pregnant without gasping for air baffles me! She really is a God!

@@kojo9228 She performed these while pregnant...these are old performances. A part of the Honey performance was used in a poster. There have been videos of the performances on KZfaq already. :)

that’s because this is not live live (I don’t think she’s necessarily suggesting it is either tho). Like I think up until that point they’d used a single-take in the studio, but she wasn’t satisfied with that take’s last chorus so she overdubbed part of it or something. It’s *possible* I’m wrong but I’d be gobsmacked, she does it consistently in the last chorus at the same parts it’d be absurd.

@@Luke-cb8ub their expressions go with their vocals tho. i mean i fully back you on the part that it's edited for better quality in lots of these 'lives', but in the particular part im talking about i think it's quite genuine cuz the way they're singing is also the way their expressions change. and i dont think any of us will deny that halsey's completely capable of that kind of range in such a short time

OMG Same I know right she is so amazing and Gorgeous.

this and Bells in SF

OMG Same I know right now that's why she is such a Great artist she is literally such a nice person she is literally a Gift to this world.😁👍✌️👌.

*Godess

She is not a woman, she's just god itself

"I am not a woman, I'm a god" I mean at her concert she did say all of her songs were true. They're all so powerful and beautiful and that's two of the many reasons I love her!

You should listen to Gasoline live at Los Angeles, no lie I started tearing up, it's so beautiful

Yes

She didn’t perform bells in Sante fe

I'm sad she didn't preform it live, I wanted to hear her say "all of this is temporary~" in her raw voice. Looking forward if she decides to do a tour of this album! Def will buy tickets.

@@athenadraws7703 yeah, me too!!
