What is the meaning be hide The Harold Song by kesha?

Answer 1

Her fiance, Harold, died in a car crash just before they were about to be married. She was devastated and wrote a song for him.

Or, as it appears to me, the song is about someone she was deeply in love with, and, the guy, apparently Harold, broke her heart, whether he broke up with her, or cheated on her, whatever.

I miss your soft lips

I miss your white sheets

I miss the scratch of your unshaved face on my cheek

And this is so hard 'cause I didn't see

That you were the love of my life and it kills me

Seems like she indefinitely misses his love, but there is no sign of him dead yet.

I see your face in strangers on the street

I still say your name when I'm talking in my sleep

And in the limelight I play it off fine

But I can't handle it when I turn off my nightlight

So she is, still missing him, and she tries to act fine when she still is hurting inside.

They say that true love hurts well this could almost kill me

Young love murdered, that is what this must be

True love hurts, but this could almost kill HER. And THIS, referring to true love, is not in the sense of the person you love being dead. "Young love murdered" so their love is murdered, but not the guy, and if he DID die in a car accident, he wasn't murdered.

I would give it all to not be sleeping alone

The life is fading from me while you watch my heart bleed

She would give it all to not be sleeping alone. Life is fading from Kesha, not Harold. And he is watching her heart bleed. He probably wouldn't just watch and look at her heart bleed (love) if he did love her. Moving on, skipping some of the next verse.

But now I see it was my past life, a beautiful time

Drunk off of nothing but each other till the sunrise

It was her past life, which was a beautiful time, (back when he loved her) and they were so in love and content with each other, they were practically drunk off of each other until the sunrise (poetic).

Now just some of the lyrics I discussed above are repeated to finish the song. This song very well may be about Her fiance dying in a car accident, but the lyrics talk about a very deep love that was destroyed. Either way, something terrible happened to a love life.
