Top Comments of this video!! :3
The mental illness references in whispers, the lullaby for her baby in darling, the bisexual queen bop in honey, the begging for her baby’s safe arrival in 1121, the love song to her baby and her partner in ya’aburnee, the Siren badass bitch in the lighthouse. I am not a woman I’m a god, period. IM SO IN LOVE with this album.

The album/film is based off of Freud's theory of the "Madonna/Whore" complex. The idea that a woman in society is either viewed (by men) as a pure, innocent, nurturing caretaker, or an impulsive, wreckless, sexual degenerate. To have both is perceived as unnatural. This is Halsey's way of reclaiming her identity and establishing the fact that they can have one side of that dichotomy without destroying or sabotaging the other. The "dark Halsey" is the emodiment of promiscuity, while the "light Halsey" is the softer, more maternal end of that spectrum.

If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power’ is based on the darker, scarier side of pregnancy. From Halsey she said “I was like, ‘No, this s**t is so scary and so horrifying. My body’s changing and I have no control over anything. And I do finally have this thing I want. So I wake up and fear every single day that I’m going to lose (the baby).”

How I interpreted the bridge for “1121” is Hasley praying to not have another miscarriage. “Please don’t leave/don’t leave me in the shape you left me.” Also, “just leave me in the place you found me safe and soundly”. It was a bracing moment that shook me like when I realized what “more” is about.

Fun fact: Easier Than Lying is mainly not about a relationship or female empowerment but about parents and the people who raised you being angry at how you turned out. Hence the lines "you reap you sow" and "if you're a hater then hate the creator". Halsey said they didn't even know they had that anger towards their parents until they finished writing that song.
