Graced
Graceful Tales: Love's Triumph in Andrea Bignasca's Melody
Lyrics
dreams of last night
Dreams from the previous night
hunt me blind on this day
Haunt me, making me emotionally vulnerable today
the way you came
Describing the manner in which someone arrived
knocking on my door
Symbolic knocking on the speaker's door
won't you come in girl
Invitation to enter, addressing the person as 'girl'
shy and pretty with your hair fixed up nice
Describing the person as shy and attractive, with well-styled hair
smiling at the walls
Smiling at the surroundings
barely looking me in the eyes
Not making direct eye contact, indicating reservation
then you
Transition in the narrative, focusing on the person's actions
graced me
Expressing a moment of being graced or favored
like a lady and her knight, we
Comparing the relationship to that of a lady and her knight
like I already killed the beast
Feeling as if a significant challenge or obstacle has been overcome
like I already won you over
Sense of having already won the person's affection
ghosts in the night
Reference to unseen challenges and negativity
jeer and creep up behind
Negative influences creeping in the background
as fools and their lies
Reflection on deceitful behavior and lies
court us unobliged
Being courted or pursued without obligation
we hear of lovers and mistresses
Awareness of romantic entanglements and their histories
tragedies of the past
Referencing past tragic relationships
that won't happen to us babe
Confidence in avoiding similar pitfalls
c'mon slip off that party dress
Encouraging the removal of formal attire
then she
Return to the experience of being graced
graced me
Reiteration of the lady and her knight metaphor
like a lady and her knight, we
Sense of overcoming challenges together
like I already killed the beast
Feeling as if a significant obstacle has been conquered
like I already won you over
Confident in having already gained the person's favor
now she's waiting
Shift in the narrative, indicating a change in the situation
for me at home
The person waiting for the speaker at home
I skid to a halt in front of her
The speaker abruptly stopping in front of the person
baby your man has come
Announcement of the speaker's arrival
then you
Return to the theme of being graced
graced me
Reiteration of the lady and her knight metaphor
like a lady and her knight, we
Sense of overcoming challenges in the relationship
like I already killed the beast
Confident in having conquered personal obstacles
like I already won you over
Reiteration of having already won the person over
