Lyrics for Hum Hallelujah as interpreted by suchaxsucker

Hum Hallelujah Lyrics
It's all a game of this or that
Now verses then
Better off against worse for wear

And you're someone
Who knows someone
Who knows someone I once knew
And I just want to be a part of this

The road outside my house
Is paved with good intentions
Hired a construction crew
'Cause it's hell on the engine
And you are the dreamer
And we are the dream
I could write it better
Than you ever felt it

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Til tonight do us part"
I sing the blues
And swallow them too

My words are my faith to hell
With a good name
A remix of your guts,
Your insides x-rayed
And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster
We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop

I love you in the same way
There's a chapel in a hospital
One foot in your bedroom
And one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances
Sometimes we take pills
I could write it better
Than you ever felt it

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Til tonight do us part"
I sing the blues
And swallow them too

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu
Hallelujah (Hum Hallelujah), Hallelujah (Hum Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hum Hallelujah), Hallelu (Hum Hallelujah)

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Til tonight do us part"
I sing the blues
And swallow them too

So
Hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Til tonight do us part"
Vow in a parking lot
Till tonight do us part
Teenage vow in a parking lot
"Til tonight do us part"
I sing the blues
And swallow them too

this song is definitely about pete's attempted suicide.

"i sing this blues and swallow them too.."
swallowing pills to forget his problems.

and while he was sitting in his car that night, he was listening to jeff buckley's "hallelujah."

I've always thought that this song was about teenagers and their relationships. Because in this era people are so focused on outward appearance, money, etc. it's hard to have a normal relationship.

Stanza 1. She gloats about the intimacy of their relationship like it doesn't matter. She thinks it's helping her but it only makes things worse.

2. She always knows someone to go to for a nice rant. He's starting to think he doesn't know her.

3. The relationship started out supposedly innocent, but it led to him only wanting one thing from her, not being attracted to her personality at all. He had to back himself up with her appearance to make it work. She thinks he loves her completely, and he knows this. He knows her personality so well now that he can explain it in words.

Stanza Refrain 1: He's thankful for their relationship despite the fact it is unreasonable and based on nothing. He thought he loved her for her mind, but it was only what she showed him before they were together that drew him in.

Stanza Refrain 2: It sounds like they had vowed to love each other in the back of his car in a Wal-Mart parking lot or maybe Target or something. In the end they just vowed to act like they were lovers until the night ended.

4. He knows all of the bad things about her, and they both are beginning to like the drama and pain they've inflicted on the other.

5. They're starting to hurt each other, and the damage is getting to be a permanent affliction. They're addicted to the drama and the pain.

Pretty much my whole interpretation. Again, only my opinion and a story I can't get out of my mind when I listen to it.
