Jewel - Barcelona Meaning
-
“Barcelona” is sung from the perspective of a prostitute. Sex work is and has been rampant for decades now in Barcelona, Spain.
The songs lyrics outright ask God for forgiveness and guidance
“Hold me, Release me, show me.. the meaning of mercy” - wanting to rid themselves of the life they live.
“Loving someone else
Is always so much easier
But I hold myself hostage
In the mirror”
Sleeping with someone else is easier than facing her own demons. But she’s silently begging for a way out. “Release me” “Let me fly”
“The red light (Well known prostitution term)
Has been following me
But don't worry mother
It's no longer my gravity”
She’s promising the people she loves that she has changed her ways and relies on her faith to help her do that.
