Hallelujah
A Broken Hallelujah: Unveiling Love's Triumphs and Trials
Lyrics
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
Introduction to a mysterious, special chord in music associated with King David.
That David played and it pleased the Lord
David played this chord, pleasing a higher power, the Lord.
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Implying the listener's indifference to music or spiritual depth.
Well it goes like this:
Describing the chord progression: fourth, fifth, minor fall, major lift.
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
Depicts the confused king composing a song of praise, "Hallelujah."
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Repetition of "Hallelujah," emphasizing its significance in the narrative.
Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Your faith was strong but you needed proof
Recognizing strong faith but a need for concrete evidence.
You saw her bathing on the roof
A metaphorical scene of temptation and betrayal intertwined with "Hallelujah."
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
-She tied you to her kitchen chair
-And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
-And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
Continued repetition of "Hallelujah," emphasizing the emotional weight.
Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Well baby I've been here before
Reflecting on familiarity with a situation, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
Describing past experiences of loneliness and recognizing the painful nature of love with a reference to "Hallelujah."
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
-And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
-And love is not a victory march
-It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
Reiteration of "Hallelujah" in the context of emotional struggle and disappointment.
Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-I did my best, it wasn't much
Admitting efforts despite shortcomings, offering sincerity without deception, and acknowledging a sense of failure amidst "Hallelujah."
I couldn't feel so I tried to touch
-I told the truth and I didn't come to fool ya
-And even though it all went wrong
-I'll stand before the lord of song
-But nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
Repeated declaration of "Hallelujah" encapsulating the narrator's emotional state.
Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Maybe there's a God above
Contemplation of the existence of a higher power despite lessons learned from love's struggles.
But all I've ever learned from love
Reflecting on the harshness of love, its betrayals, and the painful reality captured within "Hallelujah."
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
-It's not a cry that you hear at night
-It's not somebody who's seen the light
-It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
Repetition of "Hallelujah" signifying various emotional states and struggles, encapsulating the complexity of human experiences.
