Hallelujah
Paramore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
We gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "Hallelujah"
Holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
We could watch it fly and just keep looking on
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "Hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever
And we've got time on our hands
And we've got, got nothing but time on our hands
Got nothing but, got nothing but
Got nothing but time on our hands
This time we're not giving up
Oh, let's make it last forever
Screaming hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
The lyrics of Paramore's song "Hallelujah" convey a message of hope and perseverance, even in the face of challenges and obstacles that might make us feel like giving up. The opening lines suggest that even though things may seem chaotic and unpredictable, there is a sense that eventually, everything will fall into place. However, the singer acknowledges that the pace of life can sometimes feel slow and frustrating, and the desire to make time fly like a dove is a reflection of this feeling.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the idea of holding onto patience even when it feels like our patience is wearing thin. The repetition of the line "we're not giving up" represents a sense of determination and resilience, and the declaration to "make it last forever" echoes this same sentiment. The use of the word "Hallelujah" adds a spiritual dimension to the lyrics, suggesting that the struggle to maintain hope and faith is a universal experience that transcends any one individual's struggles.
Ultimately, the message of "Hallelujah" is one of perseverance and the belief that, even in the face of obstacles and setbacks, we can find a way to keep moving forward.
