Holy Grail

Lyrics

He’s wanting you
He’s wanting her
He’s wanting every girl he sees
He’s searching for
He’s wanting more
On the quest for the “Holy Grail”

He’s got a girl
Very wonderful
Too nice for what he wants
She wont give it up
Wont give in
Until her time is right

Then he says
What you’ve always wanted
You could never be
What you’ve always wanted
You could never have
Why do you do this to me?

With a tear
In each eye
She softly says it’s over now
With a look
Of disbelief
He walks away searching for more

She growingly weeps
Drowning her sorrows
Wondering why, Why?
She can’t help
Trying to forget
But remembering it all

And she says
What you’ve never wanted
You could always be
What you’ve never wanted
You could always have
Why do you do this to me?

He sees a man
On the street
Holding a sign that says
Why give up
True happiness
For short term satisfaction?

Then he says
What you’ve always needed
You could always be
What you’ve always needed
You could always have
Why do I do this to me?

Why did I do this to me?
Blinded by my wanting
I couldn’t see
What I had before me

Interpretation

Holy Grail is about a guy whos only goal in life is to have sex with as many girls as he can.
He thinks that having sex is the only thing that matters, and that he will be really cool to his friends.
Yet, he has a girlfriend who loves him very much, and she wants to wait until the time is right.
Since she won’t have sex with him he breaks up with her and goes out on his own.
He is sent a message from above, and realizes that he actually loves the girl he was with.
He then realizes that love is what really matters and rushes to get back to her.
While he is gone she gets drunk, passes out in the bath tub, and drowns.
He pays the ultimate price to learn his lesson.
He knows that he will never be love or be loved by anyone the same way again.

Inspiration

This song was inspired by all of the typical guy jerks out there in the world.
They don’t know what love is, and probably wont know until it’s too late.
They don’t treat women with respect, but very much need to learn how to.
