Purpose
Madelyn Grant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happiness and pleasure?
Let me take one guess
You base it off success
How do you measure
Happiness and pleasure?
Should be something you feel
When you decide to let fear disappear
It becomes so clear
Figure out your purpose
It's more than just the surface
Don't fall into persuasion
You got to have some patience
Figure out your purpose
It's more than just the surface
A journey of creation
You got to have some patience
When you decide to let fear disappear
It becomes so clear
The song "Purpose" by Madelyn Grant is all about finding one's true purpose in life, and not basing one's happiness and pleasure on external markers of success. In the first verse, the singer questions how we measure happiness and pleasure, and suggests that many people base it off of external markers of success. However, she argues that true happiness and pleasure should come from something within oneself, something that is real and genuine.
The chorus of the song urges the listener to figure out their purpose in life, to look beneath the surface and not be swayed by external pressures or persuasive voices. The singer suggests that finding one's purpose is a journey of creation, one that requires patience and courage. She suggests that when we let go of our fears, our true purpose becomes clear.
Overall, the song is a powerful reminder that true happiness, pleasure and fulfillment come from within oneself, and that finding one's purpose in life is a journey that requires courage, patience, and inner strength.

Hi Madelyn, I was just opening my new studio headphones. Open Spotify (I usually don't use it) and I click and they show me a recommend list and PURPOSE was the first option.
Not only love the sound, but the message and positive energy behind your songs. I am so happy I found you in this way. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE!
Hope one day I can work with you and/or people like you.
Working for that...keep creating!
Best wishes!
