Here are the lyrics to Halsey's song, 'Castle'. The song is about 4 minutes and 37 seconds, but when it comes to make the music video, we are going to cut it down so that it is just under 3 minutes long. I think the beat of the song is slow but mixed with a bit of upbeat.
I think the meaning of this song is that the artist feels like she is trapped in a 'castle' ( link to fame) because everyone wants to put her on a throne because of her becoming more and more popular and she is being told what to do by an old man (link to society) because when you are famous, you are constantly being told that you can't do things because you will be setting a bad name for yourself. She talks about becoming 'queen' because her fans treat her like royalty when ever she meets them in public.
I think the imagery with this song is when you listen to it, you can kind of picture the artist seeming to be annoyed at fame sometimes. Where she goes there are people talking about her, She can't go out in public without there being someone wanting to take a picture of her and with whoever she is with and there is always that one person that tries to push her around by telling her what she can and can not do. The hidden message within the song is that yeah, being famous can be good, but you will lost your privacy and people will try and boss you around.
Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise
Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it
I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
Oh, all of these minutes passing, sick of feeling used
If you wanna break these walls down, you're gonna get bruised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it
I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
There's no use crying about it
There's no use crying about it
There's no use crying about it
There's no use crying about it
I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
