Hallelujah
Sam Alves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
You don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The song "Hallelujah" is a beautiful and deeply emotional ballad that appears to be about love, loss, and faith. The first verse describes a secret chord that David played, which pleased the Lord. The lyrics suggest that this chord may represent a deeper spiritual connection with God or a higher power, and it may have been something that brought David comfort or joy. However, the singer notes that the listener may not care for music, suggesting that the idea of this chord and its significance may be lost on some.
The second verse shifts to a more personal story, where the singer describes a situation where someone's faith was strong, but they needed proof. They eventually saw a beautiful woman on a roof, and this encounter seems to have changed everything for them. The woman captured their heart and soul, and they were willing to do anything for her, including tying themselves to a kitchen chair and enduring pain and suffering. However, even after all of this, the woman still "drew the Hallelujah" from their lips, suggesting that while the love was intense and passionate, it was also difficult and perhaps ultimately futile.
The final verse seems to speak to a larger truth about love and loss. The singer suggests that perhaps there is a God above, but all they have learned from love is how to hurt or be hurt. The "broken hallelujah" at the end represents a moment of coldness and emptiness, where the beauty and joy of faith and love have been shattered, leaving the singer with nothing but pain and sorrow.
Overall, "Hallelujah" is a haunting and deeply moving song that explores the complexities of love, faith, and the human experience.

You saw her bathing on the roof
You witnessed her taking a bath on the rooftop
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

She fastened you to her cooking seat
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
She broke your seat of power, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
She made you recite the song of praise
Maybe there's a God above
Perhaps there is a divine entity out there

However, all I have discovered from love is that
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
I've only learned how to hurt someone who got the better of me
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not a sob that you hear in the night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's not a person who has had a revelation
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
It's a sorrowful and imperfect praise song
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise song, Praise song
