9 Iconic Lyrics From Halsey's Song 'Nightmare' That Will Have The Feminist In You Pumped Up

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxr140BJEId/

Halsey's new single "Nightmare" is iconic in general, and while I love all of the lyrics, I just picked out some of my favorites, which I also think are the most important ones.

1. "I'm tired and angry but somebody should be"

This lyric is one of my favorites. It's especially relevant with everything going on with the abortion bans. Also, the look that she gives us while delivering this line shows just how annoyed she is.

2. "I won't be caught dead letting a man tell me what I can do with my bed"

We love a feminist queen. Also, very relevant again during the abortion ban issue.

3. "I pinch my skin in between my two fingers and wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors"

Halsey is focusing on all of the right issues, and she's right to be so angry about them.

4. "I don't owe you a goddamn thing"

Let's stop assuming that women only exist for a man's benefit. Or anyone's benefit but herself. Just let women make their own decisions and live their own lives.

5. "Kindness is weakness, or worse you're complacent"

She sings this while holding up a magazine saying "it's our turn". Again, a feminist queen.

6. "You smile, asshole"

While this isn't technically a lyric, but it's written on a sign, I love this moment in the music video. Especially paired with the lyric in the chorus: "come on little lady give us a smile". Not all women are willing to smile and look pretty for a man.

7. "Someone like me could be a real nightmare, completely aware"

And she's in the middle of a dreamcatcher as she's singing this line. Halsey's claiming that a woman who knows her worth and knows what she wants can seem dangerous to a man, which I love.

8. "No I won't smile but I'll show you my teeth"

We love a ~threatening~ feminist queen.

9. "I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind"

Sometimes a woman's greatest strength is her mind.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
