- [♡] ; about the song
ㅤHalsey compares her romances to biblical figures, including God and the devil. she uses this as a metaphor to describe the intensity of the relationship and the power that they had over her. there are several other religious allusions in the song including Halsey praying for change in the bridge. [...] the God is given soft features, is innocent and timid while the Devil is an assertive charmer that gets her hot and bothered. the Martyr lives is confusing, loving, and philosophical, while the Savior is too busy to pay attention to her.
if it is in fact one lover, the first two lines of the separated stanzas describe the yin and yang of her lover, ultimately keeping her guessing.
religion is sometimes look at as controlling and demanding. it makes you follow its rules and takes every part of your life as its own. she feels so consumed by this man that he is her religion. his love is her religion. also, it could be said that, because God is supposed to love all equally, her lover is like God because he could never love her more than any of the other women he has slept with, and is destined to leave her because of that. religion is for everyone, not just for her. the love is sacred but he will not apologize when he does not love her exclusively.
