INTRODUCTION
Gracious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a wonderful man
made him a name to remember.
Two-thousand years
of blood, toil, and tears
all have the fun to remember.
Close your eyes if you want to wind
Take a trip, get your mind
and let your mind trip to the things that we do.
Now that we're seen
to work on a dream
that one of us guarded together.
And before long,
there could be a song
which you would make last forever.
Close your eyes if you want to wind
with you around your head let it go let it feel you.
Take a trip, get your mind
and let your mind trip to the things that we do.
Heaven and hell
are both doing well
showing the distance between them.
One or two more
to make you feel sure
now you have got to believe them.
Close your eyes if you want to wind
with you around your head let it go let it feel you.
Take a trip, get your mind
and let your mind trip to the things that we do.
The lyrics of Gracious's song Introduction convey the idea of human existence, history, and the pursuit of dreams. The first verse suggests that a wonderful man was created by the divine, and how this man achieved something significant enough to be remembered. The second verse indicates how people have been working on their dreams for two thousand years despite the adversity and how those efforts were worth remembering. The chorus sings about freeing oneself from the current life's limitations and exploring various possibilities of different worlds.
The third verse describes how Heaven and Hell are doing well, which shows the contrast between two different spaces. "One or two more to make you feel sure" refers to the belief that more knowledge, experience, or exposure is required to strengthen one's understanding of good and evil. In the final chorus, the singer is inviting the listeners to free their minds from judgments and limitations, go on a journey of discovery and explore the fantastical.
