Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been left out before
I've been shut out
Had my fingers slammed in the door
Ad I've been cold
And I feel Old
Things are lookin' up
Oh, things are looking up
Oh, things will change
Glorious
Triumphant
Optimistic
Transcendent
Well, I've been rotten
And it's par for the course
I've been rotten
And it's par for the course
Every time I call your name
Every time I call your name
Every time I call your name
I get blown off course
Every time I call your name
Every time I call your name
Every time I call your name
I get knocked off my horse
Glorious
Triumphant
Optimistic
Transcendent
I see you in my dreams
And I want you here with me
Glorious
Triumphant
Optimistic
Transcendent
The lyrics of A. Graham & The Moment Band's song Glorious depict a story of struggle, disappointment, and hope. The first stanza illustrates the feeling of being left out, rejected, and shut out from the world.

They acknowledge that things have been bad in the past, but they realize that things are looking up, and they are optimistic about the future.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the words "glorious, triumphant, optimistic, transcendent," symbolizes the singer's hope for a better tomorrow. They believe that if they hold on to feelings of glory and triumph, they can overcome any obstacle in their way. Furthermore, the last stanza highlights the singer's desire for a specific person. They see this person in their dreams and want them to be physically present in their life.
