Graceland
Jake Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't move on
Should I let go
It's always better when you're there
But you've moved on
And let go
I'm sure it's better when you're there
It's always better when you're there
Cause Graceland's falling
And you're still calling
You make me want to fly
And you're my saviour
My favorite flavor
Take me home tonight
Cause Graceland's gone tonight
It's gone tonight

And memories of my better days
Of a world I never knew
Sweet symphonies
You were my better days
You're the world I never knew
You're the world I never knew

Cause Graceland's falling
And you're still calling
You make me want to fly
And you're my saviour
My favorite flavor
Take me home tonight

You were my better days
You were my symphony
You were my better days, better days, better days
You were my symphony

Graceland's falling
And you're still calling
You make me want to fly
And you're my saviour
My favorite flavor
Take me home tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Cause you're still calling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jake Coco's song Graceland appear to be about a relationship that has ended but the singer is struggling to move on. The title of the song, Graceland, is likely a reference to Elvis Presley's former home and reflects the idea of a once great and lofty place losing its glory. The singer is comparing this to their relationship which has now crumbled and is in ruins like Graceland. They cannot move on from their previous partner and wonder if they should try to let go.


The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer's ex-partner has moved on and even though it's better when they're together, they have now gone their separate ways. The line "you make me want to fly" suggests that being together brought a sense of freedom and adventure to the singer's life. They also refer to their ex-partner as their "savior" and "favorite flavor" which implies a strong emotional connection between them. The repeated line "cause Graceland's falling and you're still calling" could mean that their ex-partner is still trying to contact them and they are struggling to resist the temptation to go back to them.


The last few lines of the song speak of memories of better days and a world the singer never knew which refers to the happier times they shared together. They describe their ex-partner as their "symphony" and "better days" which highlights the positive impact they had on their life. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the fact that the singer is still struggling to move on and is being drawn back to their ex-partner, even though they know it's not good for them.

When I was 16 I fell in love with the sound of your guitar. I remember commenting on it and you actually answered, but I can't find the comment now. Anyway, today, 5 years later, I own a similar guitar to yours and it was totally worth working all summer for. I've been playing since I was 8 years old and I never loved it more than today. Thank you for being my inspiration!
