Analyzing poetry
- Before she met th guy she wrote about, Beyoncé was hurt by a guy before that, he tore down her wall. She let a guy in her life that tore her walls that she built up, that she thought she could trust. He let himself in and hurt her, she shouldn’t experience the pain again. The right person would cause her that much pain. “Halo” was her dream guy that she know was to good to be true. He gave her freedom and break free for ther own insecurities. The light from his “halo” follows her everywhere.
- composed by Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart and Beyoncé
- Halo is the word she uses as her perfect guy that she knows is to good to be true
- Sad, hurt
- Non-stress
- personification, hyperbole, metaphor
- it tells you that don’t let someone break down your walk so easily, and there is no perfect guy. You have to find someone that cares a lot about you but, there will able be something about them that makes you extremely happy
Lyrics
Remember those walls I built
Well Baby they’re tumbling down
And they didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo (oh oh)
I’ve got my angel now
It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It’s the risk that I’m taking
I ain’t never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
‘Think I’m addicted to your light
I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t begin
To pull me back to the ground again
It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
The risk that I’m taking
I’m never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
