| Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Forget all the over interpretation, all the breaking down of the song into little pieces, all this discussion of King David and Bathsheba, masterbation (???), etc. - even to the point of breaking down what Cohen meant by using the word Hallelujah ! The point is all these lines, all these references, ARE the tools to the meaning, not the meaning. What is the meaning? That inspite of all our mistakes, misunderstandings, inperfections and pain in love, life and our understanding of God we should — we must — still cry out thank-you, thank God, knowing it will never be perfect. This is clear to me. But you don’t have to believe me — I heard Leonard Cohen himself say this. |
