Grace
Motion and Miles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The creases you've come to know make up your soul
Inspect the spectacle, the divine show
No-one understands but pretends to know
Inside your little palm, singing psalms
Peering through the space that's between your arms
My story lacks in the facts
So come on, coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coup de, coup de
Coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coup de, coup de
Running the circles through, right back to you
Finding at the finish line, nothing new
The let-down that sticks like glue
Slipping through my fingers gripping onto what is left of you
Waiting for lessons learned, taking turns
The loudest of them all, left to be unheard
My story lacks in the facts
That it's so absurd
So come on, coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coup de, coup de
Coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
You know I want it
You know I need it
You know I need it all the time
You know I want it
You know I need it
You know I need it all the time
You know I want it
You know I need it
You know I need it all the time
You know I want it
You know I need it
You know I need it all the time
Time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time
Coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coup de, coup de
Coupe de grace
Coupe de grace
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
Coup de, coup de
The lyrics of Grace by Motion and Miles talk about self-exploration and the complexity of the human soul. The song invites the listener to look within themselves, to open the centerfold and behold the creases that make up their soul. The line, "No-one understands but pretends to know," suggests that while the human soul is a mysterious and complex concept, people still try to understand it.
The song talks about the struggle to comprehend one's own story, as the singer says, "My story lacks in the facts," and later, "The loudest of them all, left to be unheard." This could be an expression of the frustration that can come from being unable to fully understand and communicate one's own thoughts and feelings.
The chorus repeatedly refers to "coupe de grace," a French term that can have multiple meanings, including a final, decisive action, or a mercy killing. The use of this term in the context of the song could suggest a desire for clarity or closure in the singer's journey of self-discovery.
Overall, Grace by Motion and Miles is a reflective and introspective song that touches on the themes of mystery, complexity, and self-exploration.
