“No Halo” is the first single off of Sorority Noise’s third album, “You’re Not As _____ As You Think”. The lyrics talk about loss and mourning those you were close to.
Cameron Boucher (the band’s frontman) said in an interview:
The song, “No Halo,” the first single… I don’t know if I’ve told anyon...
[Verse 1]
This last week
I slept eight hours total, I barely sleep
Maybe that's why I've been weak
The same things that plague you still plaguing me
When God called you to fulfill a vacancy
I tried to see why it wasn't me
[Chorus]
So I didn't show up to your funeral
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
[Verse 2]
I'm placing bets against myself
And honestly I'm a mess
Like a car engulfed in flames
I am a wreck
Things I should have said through call or text
I've just really been so busy and I regret
[Bridge]
'Cause if there's no rest for the wicked
I'm as evil as it gets (Things I should have said)
[Chorus]
So I didn't show up to your funeral
But I showed up to your house
And I didn't move a muscle
I was quiet as a mouse
And I swore I saw you in there
But I was looking at myself
[Outro]
So will you show up to my funeral?
Will you be wearing white or black?
And I know the force is in you
It's the energy I lack
So if there's a race to heaven
I will surely come in last
And if there's a race to heaven
I will always come in last

Sorority Noise vocalist/guitarist Cam Boucher shared:
This song is about having a friend pass away and still keeping them fondly in your mind to the point where you show up to their house forgetting that they’re no longer there. It’s about struggling to keep up with the people you love when you’re...
