HALO (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Quevedo]
In the intro, Quevedo reflects on how things have changed since he first met the girl. She was single back then and casually dated anyone, often attracted to men with money and flashy items. Now, she’s no longer single, and her current boyfriend seems unaware that she still sneaks around to meet Quevedo at shows. Quevedo is aware of the potential danger of getting caught, hinting at an inevitable confrontation if her boyfriend discovers him, which could escalate into violence.

[Chorus: Quevedo]
In the chorus, Quevedo addresses the girl’s boyfriend, mocking him for being overly aggressive or possessive, asking him why he unfollowed Quevedo on social media. He implies that the boyfriend knows about his interactions with the girl, but warns him not to act tough, using the metaphor of “hollow bullets” to suggest that while threats may be made, they don’t hold real weight. It’s a taunting way of showing that the boyfriend’s aggression won’t intimidate him, as Quevedo continues to have a connection with the girl.

[Verse 1: La Pantera]

He’s willing to escalate things if necessary, signaling that he’s not afraid of conflict. His VIP lifestyle, with expensive drinks and a sense of control, makes him feel untouchable, and he warns the boyfriend to stay out of his way if he doesn’t want trouble.

[Chorus: Quevedo & La Pantera]
The chorus repeats, with both Quevedo and La Pantera once again taunting the girl’s boyfriend. They challenge him not to act tough and question why he unfollowed Quevedo, suggesting that the boyfriend knows that Quevedo still has a hold on the girl.

Quevedo also speaks directly to the girl, hinting at their physical connection and dominance in their relationship, with an emphasis on luxury and status. He also boasts about his confidence and wealth, mentioning his ability to impress her with his lifestyle.

The warning about hollow bullets continues, reiterating that any threats are meaningless and won’t intimidate Quevedo or La Pantera.
