100 Letters 為Hopeless Fountain kingdom 這張專輯的第一首歌

敘述關於一對戀人試著挽救他們已經走到盡頭的感情

 

 

Halsey 曾在Zach Sang Show 提過關於這首歌的製作:

 

“In [100 Letters], I tell the story of the relationship from start to finish. I give away the ending, like the prologue. […] And then I went, ‘Oh my God. I love Romeo and Juliet because I feel like I’m living it. I’m going through this relationship where I feel like a version of myself—and a version of himself—are dying for the sake of wanting to make our love work.’ […] And then I started trying to write other music and I realized, ‘I don’t know what to write about. I don’t know who I am.’ […] I had a message on Badlands, and then in starting this new record and going through this breakup, I realized how much of my identity I had given to my partner.”

 

“在[100 Letters]中,我講述了一段戀情從開始到結束的故事。我在最後放棄了這段關係,就像序章講述的那樣。[…]然後我說,我的天啊。我真的很愛羅密歐與茱麗葉,因為我感覺我就活在像他們那樣的故事裡。我經歷了一段關係讓我覺得,好像分成了「我自己的版本」跟「他的版本」正在死去當中-為了想要挽救我們之間的感情。[…] 然後我試著寫些其他的音樂,而我卻發現,「我不知道該寫些什麼。我不知道我自己是誰。」 […] 我在上一張專輯Badlands中寫了一段訊息,然後我開始錄製這張新專輯時正經歷著這段分手當中,我意識到自己到底給了對方多少自我。

How can Midas put his hands on me again?

I find myself alone at night unless I'm having sex

But I don't let him touch me anymore

I said, "I'm not something to butter up and taste when you get bored

To find some peace and quiet right behind a wooden door"

You wrote 100 letters just for me

Every single one's forgotten in a laundromat machine
