Ever feel like you're your own worst enemy? Dean Lewis certainly does. This melancholic ballad is a raw confession from a man grappling with self-loathing and regret. He's the captain of his own sinking ship, tormented by past mistakes and an inability to forgive himself. His love life is collateral damage in this internal war, as he feels unworthy of giving or receiving affection. The neon-lit hotel room symbolizes his isolation and despair, while the shattered bottles are poignant reminders of his futile attempts to escape reality. Ultimately, "Half A Man" is a heartbreaking cry for help from someone who feels incomplete, underscoring the importance of self-love in our quest for meaningful relationships.
Half A Man
Lyrics
I was wrong to say I loved her
I was wrong to think I'm right
But when I told her it was over
My darling I had lied
I've been running from my demons
Afraid to look behind
I've been running from myself
Afraid of what I'd find
But how am I supposed to love you
When I don't love who I am?
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
Oh, how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
And now I'm stuck in this hotel room
By a cold neon light
I've been waiting for an answer
But it won't come tonight
And every bottle I have stolen
Lay shattered on the floor
What's broken can't be whole anymore
But how am I supposed to love you
When I don't love who I am
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
And no one can ever hurt me
Like I've hurt myself
'Cause I'm made out of stone
And I'm beyond help
Don't give your heart to me
But how am I supposed to love you
When I don't love who I am?
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man?
Hmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm
