Gritty Rock Energy! - Halsey Reaction - Nightmare

[@sophiablackthorn]

When Halsey talks about men in this song, she doesn't (only) mean ex boyfriends. They're talking about men in general, the way journalists and people in her life act like they have any say in the way she lives her life. The "They talk shit, but I love it everytime" is mostly about rumors about her, though. This song is about Halsey coming to terms with the fact that she's allowed to feel angry at how she's been mistreated. For example, the line "I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers, and wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors" is obviously about beauty standars and they way that they, being raised their whole life as a woman, have had to deal with these expectations. "Come on, little lady, give us a smile" / "No, I ain't got nothin' to smile about" refers to how women are usually told to smile even when they feel uncomfortable, we must be good, kind and be silent, even if we're being harrased or we're in abusive situations. Whatever we do, women are "hysterical" and we're "always overreacting". You should listen to Halsey's poem "a story like mine" to understand better the context of this song and the things she talks about here. I respect her so much for being brave enough to talk about these things openly. TW// sexual abuse kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYaZnoGOdqudbLs

“I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind” and she said “someone like me can be a real nightmare completely aware, but I’d rather be a real nightmare than die unaware” so she did indeed say nightmare in the song.

[@DaianaLisJagou]

Oh, and she does say "nightmare" in the bridge! "Someone like me can be a real nightmare completely aware of it...."

7:06 that’s debbie harry the lead singer of blondie, she is a real icon. Glad you are enjoying halsey’s music

[@cheyennepeterson6499]

Ik when ppl react to this song I'm like how is know one seeing it's Debbie (Blondie) or Ryan destiny either I'm like how do you not know these incredible beautiful women

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΤσωλης]

Wow,I didn't even notice that,and I love Blondie 😂

[@Eshalala-gs7zs]

moreeeeeeeee halseyyyyy.........the whole album

[@rileyd1062]

This song makes me feel like I can do anything lol and I think that’s the point. Love it.

[@lola4001]

halsey is incredible, you should also react to "you should be sad" it's an amazing song!!

[@JaimeCard]

Yes!! You Should Be Sad is soooo good!

[@LetsTEMUTogether]

You Should Be Sad!

[@jewleenelson1002]

I’m so glad you’re doing more Halsey! She is the queen! Seeing in her in June and cannot wait!

[@EM-mf5gd]

Agree

[@Disyaizzati]

not the queen tho

[@ree8]

“Without me, now or never, the tradition” are amazing

[@ch4ves996]

The blonde lady is from Blondie, the band

[@El_Ezra_Meitar5]

I think the fact she doesn't actually say the word nightMARE in the chorus but made you keep waiting for it is a proof of the good writing of this song. It feels needed at the end of that sentence by the melody, an its the opposite of dream, but she is saying-get out of your illusions about me and about women, this is reality. What you'd have with me is a hell of a night. Not a nightmare. Not a drean either. I'm amazingly powerful and I'm real and you could love it or you could hate but I don't give a damn. She does say nightmare in the c part :)

[@alizzealvarez04]

7:06 that’s Debbie Harry singer of blondie 💅🏽

[@heabooktubes]

Nightmare was in the bridge. “I’d rather be a nightmare than die unaware.” This is a pro choice anthem.

[@dougtoon]

I'm in love with this Halsey rabbit hole we are in rn, please keep going

[@tpwk6907]

You should react to Him n I, More, without me, 11 minutes, walls could talk, control and castle too!

[@saritathapliyal3622]

Yeah these are some really amazing ones!

[@DaianaLisJagou]

I listen to this song everytime I'm angry! She's incredible! Can't wait to watch you react to more from her! ❤

[@brittanyann9252]

Definitely check out their most recent album "If I Can't Have Love I Want Power"

[@brotatopew1845]

You should react to More and Clementine , More talks about her wanting a child after having a miscarriage and dealing with endometriosis and there's a part of the song that sounds like a baby from the womb listening to her voice

[@tabathaarria9558]

the lyrics are: "i keep a record of the wreckage in my life i gotta recognize the weapon in my mind they talk shit, but i love it every time" i interpret that more like, her mind says a lot of mean things (taking the pattern you saw in their last 2 mvs) most probably about themselves. and because halsey is a writer, she recognizes their mind as a weapon that she can use to write with or about. i take it as a meta way they talk about being a writer

[@Orion_TheyThem]

You need to look up the lyrics. She says, "I'm no sweet dream but I'm a hell of a knife." And "I keep a record of the wreckage in my life, I need to recognize the weapon in my mind."

[@marykatedoyle9574]

I’m serious when I say saying them perform from the seventh row at red rocks altered my brain chemistry. Halsey is one of my all time favorite artists and I can’t wait for you to see more! I’d recommend The Lighthouse, 3am, angel on fire…really all of their albums in full. Her transitions between songs slaps

[@marykatedoyle9574]

Also finally // beautiful stranger

[@c4tluver12]

more halsey!! yayy!

[@nikkis7375]

The bridge says nightmare- “someone like me can be a real nightmare completely aware, but I’d rather be a real nightmare than die unaware” one of my fav lyrics.

[@bryancarson5908]

One of her best! We were so sad when it wasn’t on Manic 😂

[@nataliejamison939]

"Devil in Me" is definitely one you should listen to. And her cover of "Walk the Line" is one of the best covers of any song ever. It's easily in my top 3.

[@weslleyoliveira9168]

You're one of the best reaction channels ever. The amount of content you put out is insane! Loving the Halsey reactions haha ❤️❤️❤️

[@pamshirley5550]

Dude , I’m not the biggest fan of her videos but damn you should watch some of her acoustic performances. She’s amazing .

[@bluesideace]

Love that you're reacting to them!! This is definitely on of my all time favourites songs by her^^

[@livialibanio2079]

I'm absolutely loving these Halsey reactions. It would be nice if you reacted to Clementine, it's not a super popular song of hers but I love it so much!

[@brandonpadilla5402]

The intro to this MV is inspired by the character selection menu in GTA. It’s her version of the choose you character concept. The sound used is also either identical or almost identical to the sound when you select your character.

[@michelle6337]

"No I won't smile but I'll show you my teeth, and Imma let you speak if you just let me breathe, I've been polite but won't be caught dead, Letting a man tell me what I can do in my bed." I can't count the number of times of scream-singed this with friends at karaoke.

[@bllessedmess]

You should check out Without Me and 11 minutes with Yungblud (who is also a very unique artist that you should definitely check out) and maybe start a journey through her albums as well:)

[@karolinak.6020]

You should definitely react to her newest album 'if I can't have love I want power', it have few 'stronger' songs like 'easier than lying', i think you will like it!

[@nikkis7375]

Halsey 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️you mentioned her raspy voice and her live is even more shows that. She’s incredible live

[@nikkis7375]

I’m seeing Halsey at the end of may on tour and I can’t wait to scream this song lol

[@bllessedmess]

I just love her so much! She's so unique and i'm very happy that you finally react to her♡

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

In the bridge, she sings "Nightmare" 4 times (5:25, 5:31, 5:38, 5:44)

[@arianasosa5984]

I’m a huge Halsey fan and have plenty of favorites, you should listen to finally/ beautiful stranger by her and trouble stripped

[@HeatherBenedix-xh8in]

Can I pass the damn finish line now?? Uff da!

[@nastya28LT]

you should react to her song with yungblud "11 minutes"

[@XxJoitchxX]

In the bridge she actually says Nightmare 4 times. "Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware But I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware, yeah Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers" She never sings it in the chorus though

[@neenerss]

I’m so here for the Halsey reactions

[@MP-1218]

Can’t wait for you to hear more Halsey 😊

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΤσωλης]

Have you reacted to Without Me? I don't know,but if not,do it pleaseeee!! It is maybe my favourite song of Halsey! It is just SO amazing 😍

[@nikkis7375]

This dropped right as woman’s reproductive rights came under attack again in the US and this song fits in our fight for control over our bodies, everyone asked Halsey if that was on purpose and Halsey said something like we are always under attack, something is always happening where we have to fight basically.

[@RM-bw7iw]

loving your halsey reactions🫶🏽🙆‍♀️ please keep it up!! will watch em alll cuz Subscribed🤝🏽😝

[@debdvorak1806]

She did say nightmare almost near the end

[@mitchnuesca4586]

Since you loved Paralyzed by Sueco, he just released an album! Think youd love reacting to it

[@MarcelinaLaufeyson]

[@crystalgutierrezgarcia5936]

After spending so much time on tik tok I cant listen this song without feeling it's missing the tAtu part

[@debdvorak1806]

She did say nightmare in the song

[@FelixDharma]

YEA CHEST HAIR

[@nickyrondelez5046]

My favourite line in the song is "and imma let you speak if you just let me breathe". It shows how for men these arguments about feminism and womanhood are intellectual conversations and debates, but for women it's literally about life and death. She's saying "fine, I'm going to let you have these pointless 'devil's advocate' discussions with me if it keeps you from hurting me physically.

[@franciskev4161]

❤️🔥

[@igorkotov1557]

Good revers from “All the things she said” of T.A.T.U 😅

[@iluvcatslol5714]

[@KairiBrie]

[@kavya9102]

hey so i just wanted to point out that Halsey uses she/they pronouns and to use both of them. they have spoken out about the misuse of pronouns before and i just thought that maybe you didn't know. i love your reactions to her tho.
