The conclusion of the song: Here LC turns from looking back to looking forward. I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you He remembers when things were good, how their lovemaking made him feel like they were really together, and their Hallelujahs were those of joy and ecstasy. He has seen the glorious side of love (the flag on the marble arch), but the love is not lasting and his hart is broken, therefore the Hallelujah is cold and broken. The relationship still exists, but it's hollow. When you hear a Hallelujah it's probably not because of joy (seeing the light), but because someone is hurting. Maybe the most "black" verse, reflecting on the bitterness of love. It is a distructive relationship and the Hallelujah is one of dispair.Īnd it's not a cry that you hear at night It ends up with him submitting and losing his powers. The man (David) falls in love, but the relation is not a healty one. She broke your throne, and she cut your hairĪnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you Your faith was strong but you needed proof I believe this is about unmatched intrests in a relationship. He does not understand this (is baffled) and tries to explain (the cords are matched by the actual song), thus composing the Hallelujah.
That David played, and it pleased the Lordīut you don't really care for music, do you?ĭavid loves music, but his love does not. Taken from the description of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
