Concept Album: All of her major releases. Room 93, her debut EP, is themed around the strange, pocket-universe feel of hotel rooms. BADLANDS is about a Vegas-gothic metaphor for her negative mental state. hopeless fountain kingdom is a play on Romeo and Juliet, taking specific influence from Baz Luhrmann's interpretation. Manic is about her struggles with bipolar disorder. If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power is about the positives and negatives of pregnancy and childbirth. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Halsey (Music) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: "Without Me" is one of these directed at someone that Halsey helped who then ditched her for fame and glory at the first opportunity they got, reminding them Halsey is the one who "put [them] up there" and asking if they're lonely pretending that they can live without her. "You Should Be Sad" is directed at an unnamed ex-lover, calling him faithless, manipulative, and incapable of selflessly loving another, which is why she's glad that she chose not to have a baby with him and dumped him instead. "I'm Not Mad" is a song directed at an ex for how they mistreated Halsey all the while wishing them false positive messages. | |

Badass Boast: "Hurricane". She references this same line in "Gasoline". Used again in "Control": The "Hurricane" example comes back in the Spoken Word narration beginning the "New Americana" video. Used in "Heaven in Hiding": Her verse on "Die For Me" by Post Malone and Future is pretty much this as well, with lines like "Sold 15 million copies of a breakup note," "I don't play anymore, I went through your phone/ And called the girls in your DMs and took all them home," and "Grew into a savage, and that's why they gave this verse to me." | |

Spoken Word in Music: The fan-favorite lyric in "Colors": Hopeless Fountain Kingdom's first track, The Prologue, has Halsey speaking the entirety of Shakespeare's Prologue for Romeo and Juliet. In "929", she reveals in the spoken monologue of the song that the song is titled after her birthday. "Good Mourning" has Halsey's little brother, Dante, speaking the entire intro. | |

Destructive Romance | |
| Halsey (Music) / int_8d0461e2 | comment |
Destructive Romance: "Without Me" and "Graveyard" detail of an unhealthy relationship between the protagonist and her lover. Luckily, she realizes what a bad place she's in and how irreparable the relationship with said toxic person is and breaks it off to start looking after herself. | |

Get Back in the Closet | |
| Halsey (Music) / int_9398f2b0 | comment |
Get Back in the Closet: She spoke about the phenomenon from firsthand experience after releasing two music videos for her song "Ghost". The first contained her in a physically intimate relationship with a man, and was barely described by the press as anything beyond a "love story". The second contained a romance with relatively less intimacy shown, but replaced Halsey's co-lead with a woman. This video was far more controversial and was even described by some as pornographic; Halsey attributed this to the particular connotation same-sex female relationships have when portrayed in media. | |

Screw Yourself: Not in a literal sense, but the girl she's making out with in the "Ghost" video is intentionally made up to look like her-same clothes, same hair, similar proportions, to emphasize the confusion of what she represents. | |

Ms. Fanservice: In "If I Can't Have Love I Want Power" she isn't shy at all in portraying herself sexually, which includes her wearing very low-cut gowns along with showing full frontal nudity on multiple occasions (once while heavily pregnant), since its themes explore the Madonna-Whore Complex and her character is rebelling against convention that as a mother she has to be non-sexual. The uncensored version of the album's cover also features her with one breast exposed while she's cradling her baby (this however harkens back to the painting featuring Mary with Jesus which inspired the story). | |

Madonna-Whore Complex | |
| Halsey (Music) / int_b097493c | comment |
Madonna-Whore Complex: "If I Can't Have Love I Want Power" explores this idea, since it was inspired from traditional depictions of the original Madonna, Mary mother of Jesus, who's usually portrayed as non-sexual (the Virgin, after all), with her character struggling against this expectation as it's indicated that she wants to remain a sexual being while becoming a mother, but the royal court is scandalized by this. It's also implied much of their opposition may come from her strongly implied attraction to her handmaidens. | |

Break-Up Song: "Ghost" is about a relationship in which one partner is no longer emotionally invested. "Sorry" is a I Want My Beloved to Be Happy-type version sung by someone apologizing to a lover they treated badly as they're leaving. "killing boys" is about an unfaithful ex-boyfriend. "You Should Be Sad" is one of the "I'm so glad you're gone" variety. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Halsey (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The music video for "Ghost" distinctly resembles Lost in Translation (2003), from the setting to the bob wig the singer wears throughout most of the video. The music video for "Colors" was filmed in the Murder House from American Horror Story. Anyone who has seen the series knows that the house is the main character of its season. Well, King Midas put his hands on me again... from "100 Letters" In "Without Me", she quotes the "You don't have to say what you did, I already know" line from "Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake and even matches the cadence of it. In "Killing Boys", she quotes a famous exchange from Jennifer's Body; In "Killing Boys", she warns an unfaithful lover/former friend: "Then I stop 'cause I don't wanna Uma Thurman your ass." In "Alanis' Interlude", Halsey puts a spin on John Mayer’s 2002 hit “Your Body Is A Wonderland�, altering an iconic “straight� love song into an ode to her bisexuality with the lyrics "Your pussy is a wonderland". "Ashley" ends with a sample from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, with some dialogue from Kate Winslet's character Clementine... which is also the name of the next song on the album. | |

| Halsey (Music) / int_e11027bb | comment |
Sex for Solace: "Strangers" is about a rebound romance she had while trying to get over a long-term boyfriend. Ironically, the lyrics make it clear that both girls feel more for the other than just this, but neither will admit it because they believe the other doesn't care. On the same album, "100 Letters" contains the line "I find myself alone at night, unless I'm having sex." | |
