Hallelujah
Harmonizing Truths: A Melody of Love, Loss, and Redemption in Hallelujah
Lyrics
I heard there was a secret chord
Reference to a special or sacred musical progression
That David played and it pleased the Lord
Describing the pleasing aspect of music to God through David's playing
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Questioning someone's indifference to music
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Referring to specific musical intervals
The minor fall the major lift
Describing musical changes from sadness to joy
The baffled king, composing hallelujah
Depiction of a confused or perplexed king creating a song of praise
Hallelujah
Repetition of the word "Hallelujah" as a chorus or praise
Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Well your faith was strong, but you needed proof
Recognizing strong faith but a need for evidence or validation
Saw her bathing on the roof
Observation of someone in a vulnerable or exposed state
Her beauty in the moonlight, overthrew ya
Describing the overwhelming effect of someone's beauty
Well she tied you to a kitchen chair
Metaphorically depicting being controlled or manipulated
Stole your throne and cut your hair and
Symbolic actions of taking authority and altering appearance
From your lips, she drew the hallelujah
Connecting a romantic encounter to the song "Hallelujah"
Hallelujah
Repetition of the word "Hallelujah" as a chorus or praise
Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
-Hallelujah
Reiteration of "Hallelujah" to conclude the song
