The more Halsey releases music videos, the more the public comes to understand who Halsey is as a person. Never to be the one that was shy, talking about growing up and making 'Americana' an anthem for teenage and young adults with an iPhone or radio.
What becomes intriguing is Halsey has a collection of songs that do not end up as popular. Call them B-sides or whatever you'd like, 'Gasoline' triggers a dissociative element. Picking out flaws and an idealistic view on the life of twenty somethings. How crazy does one have to be, to be seen. To be heard, to be understood or to build self-esteem. How are these flaws programmed and tricked into working properly, as we function within society? Halsey justifies an age classified in social media, selfie driven culture and a needy appeal to impress or become famous towards everyone. Halsey ends up speaking to a group of individuals who grew up a bit differently, speak on another frequency and intend on creating whole aspects of themselves.
'Gasoline' would be defined for its undertone of loneliness, affected youth and unsure disorders.
