Halb So Viel paints a bittersweet picture of a couple whose love scales are tipped. LEA, the Australian singer–songwriter, lists all the caring gestures her partner makes: giving her a spare key in March, ringing her doorbell out of politeness, introducing her to his parents, even planning their winter trips. Meanwhile, she can only match that devotion halfway. She knows his friends by heart, but he barely knows the names of hers; he keeps her in his heart while she only holds him in her arms. The chorus repeats her secret wish: “Es wär so schön, wenn ich das Gleiche fühle” – “It would be so nice if I felt the same.” Ultimately, the song explores the quiet guilt of loving someone just half as much as they love you.
Instead of pointing fingers, LEA invites listeners to step inside the gentle tension between affection and honesty. The upbeat pop sound masks a vulnerable confession: sometimes our hearts refuse to sync, no matter how hard we try. By the final refrain, the message rings clear: acknowledging mismatched feelings is painful, yet pretending would hurt even more. This track is a melodic reminder that real love also means admitting when you do not feel the same intensity.
