Hallelujah
Unveiling Life's Symphony: Hallelujah's Profound Revelation
Lyrics
I heard there was a secret chord
There's a belief in a hidden, special harmony or connection
That David played and it pleased the Lord
Refers to King David playing music that pleased God
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Suggests disinterest or indifference towards music
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Describes a musical progression: specific chord changes
The minor fall and the major lift
Details musical notes and their emotional impact
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Depicts a puzzled king creating music expressing praise
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Repeated chorus expressing praise or reverence
Hallelujah, hallelujah
-Your faith was strong but you needed proof
Acknowledges strong faith but a need for evidence or validation
You saw her bathing on the roof
Observing someone's captivating beauty and its influence
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
-She tied you to her kitchen chair
Metaphorically portrays being captivated or controlled by someone
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
-And from your lips, she drew the hallelujah
-Hallelujah, hallelujah
Repeated chorus expressing praise or reverence
Hallelujah, hallelujah
-Baby, I've been here before
Recollection of familiarity before a significant change
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
-I used to live alone before, I knew you
-And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
Clarifies that a sound heard isn't a cry or a revelation but a sad, shattered expression
It's not someone, who's seen the light
-It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
-Hallelujah (hallelujah), hallelujah (hallelujah)
Repeated chorus expressing praise or reverence
Hallelujah, hallelujah
-Oh, maybe there's a God above
Suggests a potential existence of a higher power
But, all I've ever learned from love
Reflects on the lessons learned from love, possibly implying its painful aspects
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
-And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Symbolizes the realization that love isn't always victorious but often painful
And love is not a victory march
-It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
-Hallelujah, hallelujah
Repeated chorus expressing praise or reverence
Hallelujah, hallelujah
-Hallelujah (sing hallelujah), hallelujah
Final repeated chorus, urging to sing praises despite difficulties
Hallelujah, hallelujah
-Hallelujah, hallelujah
