Juliet
Delight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It Was Way Too Hard It Was Way Too Tough
On This She Had Not Bargained
But She Was Like Some Missionary Dancing to the Beat of Some
Man's Ancient Drum
and She Tries Hard to Tell This Story But It's a Hard One to Tell
She Consults Her Book of Miracles
Cry and the Wind Says Fly On
Well Now You're On Your Own
You're Back Out On the Road Again For a Million Reasons
Well You're Back Out On the Road Again
and You Try to Tie Together Some Connections
You Get Some Ribbons and Some Bows and Get Back Out On The
Road Again

So You Found a Queen Without a King
Oh Yes, and Everyone Here Loved Her no One Was Wrong
But You're a Little Bit Like Her
You're Just a Little Bit Like Her
a Little Bit Like Her a Little Bit Like Juliet

Turn to the Blue Crystal Mirror Well As Always It Is Truthful
Oh, Well You See It in the Reflection of the Real Blue Lamp
Well Tie the Connection Get Some Ribbons and Some Bows Get Back
Out On the Road
But When They Were Good They Were Really Good Really Good Stranger

So You Found a Queen Without a King
Oh Yes, and Everyone Here Loved Her no One Was Wrong
You're a Little Bit Like Her
You're Just a Little Bit Like Her
a Little Bit Like Her a Little Bit Like Juliet

Let the Crisis Become a Bridge and Cross That Bridge Tomorrow
Well Let the Time That Goes Between, Baby
Well Let It Let Go of the Sorrow
She Says the Sky Is Crying He Says No, the Sky Is Blue
He Says the Sky Is Not Crying He Says the Sky Is Blue
She Says the Sky Is Crying He Says the Sky Is Blue




Can You Get Into That?
the Sky Is Crying He Says No, the Sky Is Blue

Overall Meaning

The song "Juliet" by Delight is a melancholic but hopeful tune about a woman who has faced immense struggles but has found the strength to continue on. The first verse talks about how difficult the woman's journey has been, and how unexpected it was. She is compared to a missionary dancing to the beat of a man's ancient drum - this suggests that she is following a path that has been laid out for her, even though it may not be easy. She consults her book of miracles (perhaps searching for hope or guidance) but ultimately it seems that she must face this challenge on her own. The second verse introduces the idea of a queen without a king, which seems to be a metaphor for the woman. She is loved by everyone but still has a sense of loneliness because she is missing a partner. The mention of Juliet in this verse suggests that the woman is similar to Shakespeare's tragic heroine who also faced great struggles and lost her partner. The chorus repeats that the woman is a little bit like Juliet, and that when they were good, they were really good.


The rest of the song is about finding hope and connection, even in the face of difficulty. The blue crystal mirror mentioned in the third verse seems to represent a moment of clarity or insight - perhaps the woman is seeing herself more clearly or understanding her situation better. She is encouraged to tie the connection with ribbons and bows, which could represent making connections with others or tying together different parts of herself. The idea of crisis becoming a bridge suggests that even though the woman has faced hardship, she can use it as a way to move forward in her life. The final section of the song is a conversation about whether the sky is crying or not. This could be a metaphor for whether there is sadness or hope in the world, and the fact that the characters can't agree on the answer could represent the ambiguity of life. Overall, "Juliet" is a song about resilience, hope, and finding connection even in the toughest of times.
