“Half” is about Lynn’s battle with depression, and the lyrics highlight how disassociated and numb she is. It features a classic PVRIS feel with its drumming, heavenly background noises, guitar tones, and a very tight mix—bridging the gap between White Noise PVRIS and their new material.
“Half” was...
[Verse 1]
Some days, I feel everything
Others are numbing
Can never find the in-between
It's all or nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
I never, never, never said that I wanted
I never, never, never, never said I wanted
[Chorus]
Never wanted to be here now
One foot in the grave, other on the ground
I can't process what I'm feeling now
This skin, I can do without
[Verse 2]
Half my bones in the city streets
The other in my sheets
And I don't think they'll ever get
The chance to meet
[Pre-Chorus]
I never, never, never said that I wanted (That I wanted)
I never, never, never, never said I wanted
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Never wanted to be here now
One foot in the grave, other on the ground
I can't process what I'm feeling now
This skin, I can do without
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
This skin, I can do without
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
[Bridge]
I never, never, never said that I wanted
I never, never, never said that I wanted
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
[Chorus]
Never wanted to be here now
One foot in the grave, other on the ground
I can't process what I'm feeling now
This skin, I can do without
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I never wanted a body
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I never, never, never said
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I never wanted a body
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I never, never, never said
[Outro]
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said
I never, never, never said

We could be in the most beautiful city in Europe and half of me would be walking the streets and the other half of me was not there and had completely checked out.
