The other person doesn’t understand his/her passion in music and what she/he’s doing with his/her creativity. That’s why the line is there, “But you don’t really care for music, do you?”. It amuses the Lord (someone else) but the other person that the singer is talking to is not amused (or doesn’t understand).
There were two events happening here, the minor fall and major lift describe the evolution of the person saying. Hallellujah means “Praise the Lord” in the religious sense. In here, it means the feeling of joy and appreciation. It tells a story about how he sees this woman that he desires and he gets weak in the knees with her. And the feeling of joy and appreciation begins (Hallelujah).
The last verse is telling that he will do everything to be with her, even if it means getting rid of someone who gets in the way. He tells her that he’s been through she’s been through and that love is not always a victory march. It could make you feel cold, broken, and feel certain kind of sadness.
Hallellujah to him comes from a place where it’s cold and broken. It’s a cry at night before you see the light. Music is how he expresses those feelings and connects with the divine. Music has a special kind of place in King David’s life and he has amused many with his talent. That’s what the “David” means in here. Words are great ways to communicate and music is a great way to speak to your soul.
