P.I.Light Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting faithless, darling
Extremely harmful day by day
I'm infected, darling
Just stick around
Just stick around
Just stick around
Heaven, watch my every movement
Someone's sending stuff from hell
Wake me up before the sunrise
I'm gonna leave my native cell
Your words like balm
Come, pour on me
Your graceful shape I can see
You lead me up
No extra fee
Don't let me down
Just stick around
Just stick around
Just stick around
Just stick around
Clap your hands
Scratch your teeth
Clap your hands
Scratch your teeth
Heaven, watch my every movement
Someone's sending stuff from hell
Wake me up before the sunrise
I'm gonna leave my native cell
Just stick around
Just stick around
Just stick around
Just stick around
Your words like balm
Come, pour on me
Your graceful shape I can see
You lead me up
No extra fee
Don't let me down
The song “Graceful” by P.I.Light talks about the inner struggles of the singer, who is in a dark place, almost on the verge of losing faith. The first few lines establish that the singer is under immense pressure to the point that someone wants to “melt” their brain. It is unclear if this is a metaphorical statement, but it could signify the pressure of the outside world that is making the singer lose their mental balance. The song describes a harmful environment that is infecting the singer, and they are slowly losing hope as they are faithless.
Despite this, the song carries an optimistic tone as the singer asks someone to stick around. This person is likely to be the one who brings positivity to their life. The song implies that the singer has trust in this person to help them through their difficult times. There is a juxtaposition of heaven and hell, almost as if there is a battle ensuing between good and evil within the singer.
The song's catchy refrain encourages the listener to clap their hands, and scratch their teeth adds an edge to the upbeat rhythm. Towards the end, the singer falls back to asking their confidant not to let them down, as they are reliant on that person's support.
Overall, "Graceful" is a song that deals with themes of emotional turmoil, inner conflict, and the importance of support during difficult times.
