Gran Torino
Zenzile Lyrics

So tenderly your story is nothing more than what you see or what you've done or will become standing strong do you belong in your skin; just wondering
Your identity and your story are only defined by what you perceive, what you have experienced, and what you will become. You feel strong and confident, but you are not fully comfortable in your own skin, and often wonder where you belong.

Gentle now the tender breeze blows whispers through my Gran Torino whistling another tired song
A soft, gentle breeze blows through your car, the Gran Torino, reminding you of how fleeting life can be. The wind seems to bring another tired song, symbolizing the repetition of your experiences.

Engine humms and bitter dreams grow heart locked in a Gran Torino it beats a lonely rhythm all night long it beats a lonely rhythm all night long it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
As you drive, the sound of the Gran Torino's engine is like a beating heart that is isolated and lonely. It echoes your own sense of isolation or loneliness as you continue on your journey, repeating the same patterns over and over again.

Realign all the stars above my head Warning signs travel far I drink instead on my own Oh! how I've known the battle scars and worn-out beds
You seek to change your life, and feel that realigning the stars above you could help you find your way. You have seen the warning signs before, but often choose to ignore them and seek solace in solitude. You are haunted by your own past battles, and often struggle to find rest.

These streets are old they shine with the things I've known and breaks through the trees their sparkling your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind
As you look around, the familiar streets and buildings seem to sparkle with memories of your past. You realize that your own world and your sense of self is defined by the small, seemingly insignificant things you've left behind, rather than the big events or achievements.

May I be so bold and stay I need someone to hold that shudders my skin their sparkling your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind
You long for someone to hold you tight, someone who can make you feel alive and shake you out of your isolation. You realize that your world is still influenced by the small things that have been left behind, and the small pleasures they bring.

Gentle now a tender breeze blows whispers through the Gran Torino whistling another tired song engines humm and bitter dreams grow a heart locked in a Gran Torino it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
The breeze continues to blow gently through the Gran Torino, and the engine hums as you continue on your journey. You feel trapped and alone, as though your heart beats a lonely rhythm that will continue all night long.
