Little Prophecy
Fulfilling Destiny: Unraveling the Little Prophecy in Ali George's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Someone said that you were going to be
Anticipation of someone's future actions or fate
Someone said that you were going to be my downfall
Expectation that this person will lead to the speaker's downfall
And it came to pass that they were right
Confirmation that the prediction about the person was accurate
And it came to pass that they were right, oh, oh
Reiteration of the accuracy of the earlier prediction
Now, it seems to me that they had made
Observation that others had foreseen events
Now, it seems to me that they had made a little prophecy
Recognition that others had made a prophecy about the speaker
People said that she was beautiful
Commendation of a woman's beauty
People said that she was beautiful and kind-hearted
Praising the woman's beauty and kind-hearted nature
People said she had an honest face
Attribution of honesty to the woman
And they said she had a kind of grace, oh, oh
Recognition of the woman's graceful qualities
But someone said
Introduction of skepticism about the woman
"She's a little too good to be true
Assertion that the woman is "too good to be true"
You wanna watch out
Warning to be cautious about the woman's potential to cause trouble
Or she'll make trouble for you"
Advisory statement regarding the woman's impact
Now, it seems to me that they had made
Acknowledgment that the earlier warnings were accurate
Now, it seems to me that they had made a little prophecy
Recognition of the prophecy made about the speaker
Now, it seems to me that they had made
Reiteration of the validity of the prophecy
Now, it seems to me that they had made a little prophecy
Acknowledgment of the prophecy made about the speaker
When you left me there without a word
Expressing the emotional impact of being left without explanation
When you left me there without a word, I was crestfallen
Feeling of being crestfallen after the departure
I was thinking that you might return
Hopeful expectation of the person's return
But they said you would not be coming back
Contradiction of the hope by stating others' disbelief in the person's return
Now, it seems to me that they had made
Recognition of the accuracy of the prophecy regarding the speaker's situation
Now, it seems to me that they had made a little prophecy
Acknowledgment of the prophecy made about the speaker's predicament
Now, it seems to me that they had made
Reiteration of the accuracy of the prophecy concerning the speaker
Now, it seems to me that they had made a little prophecy
Acknowledgment of the prophecy made about the speaker's circumstance
Now, it seems they had made a little prophecy, yeah
Final affirmation of the accuracy of the prophecy
