Grenade Lyrics

Lyric discussion by chuchathmar 

Cover art for Grenade lyrics by Bruno Mars

I saw this video of him dragging the piano uphill and singing about how he would "take a granade for ya". How his love was so great that he would sacrifice himself for this girl. I wonder if Bruno Mars saw the Christian the symbolic nature of the video and if not, did anyone else see it.... I know saw it and immediately thought of Christ dragging the cross uphill to make the ultimate sacrifice for my sins and the world. At one point in the video, he is harrassed by a street gang and ridiculed and I thought of Christ, again. How He humbled Himself to ordinary men when He could have stopped it at any time. He went through it all and died for us so that we may live through Him. Most will definitely see it as a love song for a girl while I see IN it a love song for the world. Who would have thunk it? LOL

Gave you all I had You tossed it in the trash but, to give Me all your love is all I ever asked. Cause what you don't understand is that I took a beating for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) Wore a crown of thorns for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah) Was nailed to the cross for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah) Took a spear to my side for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) And I’d go through it all over again for ya, Yes, I would die for ya, baby; But, would you do the same?

mad mad mad wumiinnn

@chuchathmar While I can see where you could get the thought that this is a song about how christ was willing to give his life for ours, there are many lyrics in this song that do not match up to that theory. For instance the way he is constantly calling this person "baby", or the lyrics "Should have known you was trouble from the first kiss Had your eyes wide open, Why were they open?", which show it was about a woman who was never actually in love with this man. I don't mean to sound like an sshle, but...
