Halsey's poignant lyrics delve into the complexities of self-sabotage and vulnerability in relationships. The song narrates a journey of nurturing something artificial, symbolized by "a plant made out of plastic," while struggling with honesty and emotional expression. The protagonist grapples with their own imperfections, feeling unworthy of love and prone to destroying anything good that comes their way. Through vivid imagery, Halsey explores themes of introspection and the fear of intimacy, ultimately questioning how someone could truly love them despite their flaws. #Vulnerability #SelfSabotage
Forever ... (is a long time)
Lyrics
I spent a long time
Watering a plant made out of plastic
And I curse the ground for growing green
I spent a long time
Substituting honest with sarcastic
And I curse my tongue for being mean
Weightless, breathless restitute
Motionless and absolute
He cut me open
Sucked the poison from an aging wound
Now fifty thousand war cadets
Would cower at this small brunette
It's a nice surprise knowing six feet high
Would reach and grab the moon if I should ask
Or just imply that I want you to be more light
So I could look inside his eyes
And get the colors just right
Just right, just right
Just
But love built, God built provinces
Built calluses, break promises
'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing
And not demolish it
What am I thinking? What does this mean?
How could somebody ever love me?
Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news coming
