ROOM 93 [halsey] // Lyric Analysis

Prologue

She goes deep behind the importance of the EP in an interview with All Things Go Music.
For a year Halsey was in and out of hotel room and relationships: friendships, romance-wise, and business-wise.

"The EP is a narrative about how in a hotel room, because of the forced intimacy, you can either really be yourself for a bit or you can really be someone you're not. So it's about human relationships under the scope of that lab rat mentality, or security cam mentality.
There are also a few undertones and subplots. One of them is crossing gender barriers, because I talk about drugs and sex and things male artists can sing about and they're edgy and romantic and emotional, but as soon as a female artists talks about it, it's like "Shut up, that's unladylike. We don't want to hear that." But I don't care. That's what my life is like and that's what I've experienced and that's what I want to talk about."

when did you heard of Ashley for the first time?

I actually was on YouTube watching a video a girl had recorded, trying to promote her since she wasn't very known in Europe, but I started following her aproximatley one year later.
