Entwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For her I do no wrong
Her wings I thought I saw
She's so strong
With you forever let me stay
I won't break your heart don't be afraid
You're my star
This place we'll never leave
We're in love
With you forever let me stay
I won't break your heart don't be afraid
With you forever let me stay
I won't break your heart don't be afraid
The lyrics to Entwine's song "Grace" speak of a deep love and admiration for a special person. The singer expresses that he adores her grace and love, and that because of her, he does no wrong. The imagery of her wings suggests that she is a protector and a source of strength, perhaps even an angelic figure. The singer dreams of being with her forever and promises not to break her heart, asking her not to be afraid.
The chorus repeats the idea of being with her forever and assures her of his commitment to their love. The two of them are in a special place, perhaps in their own world, and their love is so strong that they will never leave. The simple yet powerful words of the song convey a depth of emotion and a sense of devotion to this special person.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of unconditional love and the desire for a deep, lasting connection with a special someone. The imagery of wings and a dream-like place suggest that the love they share is more than just physical, but also spiritual and even transcendental.
