HALAN: "A Waste"
There are some things you can fight for as hard as you want, but can’t change the outcome of. HALAN’s new synthpop release, “A Waste,” is a requiem about loneliness, isolation and personal strife. The song has a bold bass beat, drawing inspiration from doom metal and darkwave. The outro repeats the following lyrics four times, with increasing intensity:
Nothing’s fair to anyone
What you planned can come undone
What you spend can be a waste
Where you reach can be outrun
