Song Meaning of “Private Parts (feat. James Michael of Sixx: A.M.)” by Halestorm
Private Parts (feat. James Michael of Sixx: A.M.) by Halestorm is a song about embracing the vulnerability and insecurities that come with relationships and life. The song opens with the lines “Believing every lie, lowering our standards, believing we can fly, living in a dream land.” This is a reference to the fantasy of being in love that we all too often get wrapped up in, disregarding the realities of the situation.
The chorus “These private parts, they ain’t meant for strangers, only you can unlock the gates” highlights the vulnerability involved in any real relationship. It can be hard to open yourself up to someone, to allow them to reach places in your soul that you keep hidden from the world, but once you do there is a kind of freedom that comes from it.
The bridge brings a sense of hope to the song with lines like, “Don’t you be afraid, open up that door, explore, you’ll find something more” reinforcing the idea that when you push past those initial fears, you can find something beautiful.
The song concludes with the optimistic storytelling, “We’ve been dancin’ around the flames, dodgin’ the bullets like war games, you’re the one I want to keep, like Peter Pan, no never sleep”.
