In this song, Halsey talks about the negative forces in her life. She talks about how they are holding her down from reaching her full potential and making her feel insecure a lot of the time.
She also feels that these negative forces are making her feel powerless and weak at the same time. They are constantly spouting their opinions about her and telling her that she will fade away soon and that her music is no longer worth listening to.
The chorus of this song is very powerful and shows how she is fighting against all the negativity that is around her. She is trying to push herself from the negativity and make her believe in herself again.
This song is about a person that Halsey loves more than anything. This person is hurting her and it makes her want to get rid of them. It is like her "hand" is a weapon that they are using against her.
Another important point is the fact that this person is not treating her with respect and is taking advantage of her. They are putting her through hell and she is going through a lot of pain and suffering because of this.
During her performance in 2015, she shared an experience about her life that inspired this song. She talked about meeting a few people who were mean to her and made her feel like she knew nothing. These people made her feel like she was a nobody and that she didn’t belong anywhere.
