Gallant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the heartbreak hit like suicide, hey
You was right
You was right to point the finger
At my guilty eyes, hey
But tell me if you want me to
Put my pride in check so I can make it up to you, babe
If you want
I can make your body tremble
If you want to
If you want
I can make a magic potion
If you want to revive
No one has to know (ooh)
No one has to know (ooh)
No no no no, no
The lyrics of Gallant's song Miyazaki consist of a confession of the remorseful protagonist towards a female partner that he has wronged. He describes how the heartbreak caused by his actions has hit him like suicide and acknowledges that she was right to blame him for the betrayal depicted in his guilty eyes. However, he asks her if she wants him to put his pride aside so that he may appease her and make amends with her.
The singer then proceeds to offer her comfort as he promises to make her body tremble with his touch and provide her with a magical potion that will revive her. He emphasizes that no one has to know what happened between them both as he seeks to reinforce the seductive offer that he has made to her.
The lyrics of Miyazaki encapsulate a poignant storyline of a remorseful individual seeking to make amends for his actions towards a hurt partner. The relationship between the two is characterized by guilt and symbols of magic and secrets - this is evident from the singer's promises to soothe his partner with a magical potion that is meant to be kept secret. The song metaphorically describes the relationship as an enchanted bond with mystical properties that could be revived despite the wrongs that have taken place.

The lack of plays this has is actually criminal. Like, whoever is responsible for the lack of marking for this needs to be arrested.
