Juliet
Nicks Stevie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was way too tough
On this she had not bargained
But she was like some missionary
Dancing to the beat of some man's ancient drum
And she tries hard to tell this story
But it's a hard one to tell
Cry and the wind says fly on
Well, now you're on your own
You're back out on the road again for a million reasons
Well, you're back out on the road again
And you try to tie together some connections
You get some ribbons and some bows
And get back out on the road again
So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes, and everyone here loved her
No one was wrong
But you're a little bit like her
You're just a little bit like her
A little bit like her, a little bit like Juliet
Turn to the blue crystal mirror well as always it is truthful
Oh, well you see it in the reflection of the real blue lamp
Well, tie the connection, get some ribbons, and some bows
Get back out on the road
But when they were good
They were really good
Really good, stranger
So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes, and everyone here loved her
No one was wrong
You're a little bit like her
You're just a little bit like her
A little bit like her, a little bit like Juliet
Let the crisis become a bridge
And cross that bridge tomorrow
Well, let the time that goes between, baby
Well, let it let go of the sorrow
She says, "the sky is crying," he says, "no, the sky is blue"
He says, "the sky is not crying," he says, "the sky is blue"
She says, "the sky is crying," he says, "the sky is blue"
Can you get into that?
The sky is crying
He says, "no, the sky is blue"
And can you get into that?
Can you get into that?
She says, "the sky is crying," he says, "the sky is blue"
The song "Juliet" by Stevie Nicks explores themes of resilience, self-discovery, and finding one's identity. The lyrics depict a woman who has faced hardship and challenges in her life, symbolized by the lines "It was way too hard, it was way too tough." Despite these difficulties, she maintains a sense of determination and strength, embodied through the image of a missionary dancing to the beat of an ancient drum.
The main character in the song tries to convey her story, but it is described as a difficult one to tell. She seeks guidance from a "book of miracles," illustrating her search for inspiration and hope in the face of adversity. The lyrics emphasize the importance of forging connections and moving forward, as reflected in the lines "And you try to tie together some connections, You get some ribbons and some bows, And get back out on the road again."
The chorus introduces the idea that the singer shares similarities with a queen without a king, who is loved by everyone. This comparison suggests that despite her struggles, she retains a sense of nobility and magnetic allure, much like the character of Juliet. The final section of the song emphasizes the conflicting perspectives between two individuals regarding the sky, symbolizing differing interpretations of reality. This highlights the complexity and subjectivity of truth and perception.
