About This Track

Released in September 2019 as the second single from 'Manic', 'Graveyard' finds Halsey confronting the self-destructive pull of devotion. The production, handled by Jon Bellion, Ojivolta, Louis Bell, and The Monsters & Strangerz, opens with a contemplative guitar melody before building into a track that examines how warning signs in a relationship can feel deceptively like butterflies. Halsey sings of following someone down their darkest roads, the metaphor of the graveyard literalising the cost of that loyalty.

The lyrics trace a narrator who keeps running even when both feet hurt, unable to stop digging themselves deeper into a dynamic where the hand they want to hold has become a weapon. There's a drunk driver at the wheel, eyes so dark the narrator wonders how they even see, yet the compulsion to follow persists. The song addresses the corrosive power of love without flinching from the specifics: the locked door, the push right through, the recognition that what you love most can be your detriment.

The track reached the top forty in fifteen countries and is certified double platinum in the United States. Its time-lapse visualiser heightened the manic undertow through sped-up imagery, matching the song's portrait of a relationship accelerating past every rational exit.

"Graveyard" is a single by Halsey, from the album Manic, released 17th January 2020. The track is 3:02 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about Halsey.

Lyrics

Graveyard

It's crazy when
The thing you love the most is the detriment
Let that sink in
You can think again
When the hand you wanna hold is a weapon and
You're nothin' but skin

Oh, 'cause I keep diggin' myself down deeper
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
I keep running, I keep running, I keep running
They say I may be making a mistake
I would've followed all the way, no matter how far
I know when you go down on your darkest roads
I would've followed all the way to the graveyard

Oh, 'cause I keep diggin' myself down deeper
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
I keep running when both my feet hurt
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
Oh, when you go down all your darkest roads
I would've followed all the way to the graveyard (no, oh)

You look at me (look at me)
With eyes so dark, don't know how you even see
You push right through me (push right through me)
It's gettin' real
You lock the door, you're drunk at the steering wheel
And I can't conceal

Oh, 'cause I've been diggin' myself down deeper
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
I keep running, I keep running, I keep running
They say I may be making a mistake
I would've followed all the way, no matter how far
I know when you go down all your darkest roads
I would've followed all the way to the graveyard

Oh, 'cause I keep diggin' myself down deeper
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
I keep running when both my feet hurt
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
Oh, when you go down all your darkest roads
I would've followed all the way to the graveyard

Oh, it's funny how
The warning signs can feel like they're butterflies

Oh, 'cause I keep diggin' myself down deeper
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
I keep running when both my feet hurt
I won't stop 'til I get where you are
Oh, when you go down all your darkest roads
I would've followed all the way to the graveyard
