Geisha
Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to be a good woman,
I tried to be a wife
But love come so easy
In no time it just a cut like a knife

Like a victory rider
I claim my name
Own my carriage
and have no shame
I'm a Geisha tonight
Not no man's good wife
No man's good wife

Come to my place
And I'll show you to your sweetest delight
All of the faces of love
That this old world denies

If you feel yourself slippin'
Far between the lines tell me

+ de parolesImagine One Day Lost Bang Bang Open Road Just Look Away Geisha New Day Gambler All You¿ll Need Go Your Way
Who's life are you livin
Their life or yours?

I'm a Geisha tonight




Not no man's good wife
No man's good wife...

She compares herself to a victory rider who owns her carriage and doesn't feel ashamed of who she is. She declares that she is a Geisha tonight and not someone's good wife. She invites anyone who feels lost between the lines to come to her place and experience all the faces of love that the world denies. She then questions the listener about whose life they're living and encourages them to live their own life.


The song Geisha has a powerful message about self-empowerment and self-acceptance. Grace uses the character of a Geisha (a Japanese female entertainer) to symbolize a woman who has control over her own life and her own choices. The Geisha is someone who is respected and admired for her beauty, grace, and talent, and doesn't need a man to define her worth. Grace encourages her listeners to be like a Geisha and own their identity and their choices, instead of conforming to societal norms or expectations.
