Grace
Lina tullgren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes are tired and I'm a liar
I wish I had grace but I can re erase

I was home alone but I got brighter
I can find my home wherever I want it
Give yourself some time

If I have learned anything it's this
Now I know what it's like to ruin someone's life
If I have learned anything at all
Now I can be open so please give me a call
But I can give you time

My eyes are tired and I'm a liar
I wish I had grace but I can re erase

This is how the world all falls down now
Memory of a photograph, a memory
I just want to be alone, together
In my dream you were so mean
Give ourselves some time

My eyes are tired and I'm a liar
I wish I had grace but I can re erase




I wish I had grace but I can re erase
Feel like I'm on fire but I am just a liar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lina Tullgren's "Grace" speak to the experience of feeling lost and overwhelmed, struggling to find a sense of home and belonging amidst the chaos of everyday life. The repetition of "my eyes are tired and I'm a liar" creates a sense of weariness and self-doubt, as if the singer is trying to convince herself of something she doesn't quite believe. The line "I wish I had grace but I can re-erase" suggests a desire to start over, to let go of past mistakes and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose.


The second verse takes a more introspective turn, as the singer reflects on the ways in which she has hurt others and seeks to make amends. The line "now I know what it's like to ruin someone's life" is particularly striking, acknowledging the pain and damage that can be caused by one's actions. Yet even in the midst of this difficult realization, there is a sense of hope and openness: "Now I can be open so please give me a call." Ultimately, the song is a reminder to give ourselves and others the time and space to heal and grow, even when it feels like everything is falling apart.
