Grand Piano Lyrics

The people are talking, the people are saying
That you have been playing my heart like a grand piano
The people are talking, the people are saying
That you have been playing my heart like a grand piano
So play on, play on, play on
Play on,...

    I believe this song comes from a very deep heart break nicki might have experienced. She usually refers to herself as the “Queen”, however, in these lyrics she goes into self doubt and asks herself “Am i the queen of fools?”-“wrapped up in lies and foolish jewels”, which could mean she feels ‘foolish’ for letting all her guards down for this love, and the way this man showered her with money and the lavish lifestyle that only kept her blind to the lies. To add on to that, when she repeats “now the people are talking..”, she could be referring to how the truth is now surrounding her home, her friends, her family, her fans, the media- and she’s only being able to continue realizing that she played like a “grand piano”. She was played beautifully and elegantly by this man, in a way where her heart was broken with grace, so she would have never even noticed it happen.

    i think Nicki is talking about a guy who is playing her heart, she hadn't realized it, till people started talking and she is now asking herself if she is a Queen of fools because she feels fooled by this guy. She thought he would be the one to claim her heart and now she is asking herself what exactly she sees in him that causes her to be so blind and addicted to what he does. But she still loves him so she says "play on"

    Falling in love with someone who sees you like a nobody....still loving that somebody despite all the wrong undeserving things done to her all in the name of LOVE...others sees his mistakes but she is blindly in love she continues to love him

    I love this song so frickin' much, even though it has a sad vibe to it.
    Nicki is describing how she's found out that her lover has been playing with her heart and doesn't actually love her. She's saying how she feels stupid for believing that he actually loved her.

    She is being played but she can't leave the guys because she believes that the guy is the one for her .That explains where she says l keep thinking you are the one who came to take claim of this heart .He is sorry for how the guy treats her when she says cold hearted shame you will remain just a frame in the dark .

    I think that this song represents her loving someone that she believes is good for her. While others are telling her that he is a player and that he is going to break her heart. She doesn't believe them, therefore leading to the line "so play on".

    Maybe she loved someone and they abused her love but she forgave them and they overcame it together

    The meaning of the song is that when she really love this guy and her the people keep telling her that he is playing with her but she won't believe that so she keeps on saying "play on" that means she wants to him do whatever.

    in my opinion, nicki's song is about how people have been warning her the bad in a boy that she loves but doesnt want to loose. she then realises that she doesnt need him and he will just "remain just a frame in the dark".

    Nikki has heard that other people can see that this guy is playing her heart but she loves him to much to let him go so she says play on.yet she thought that this boy would actually love her and that's y she says so young and naive to think you were the one to take claim of this heart.

    the meaning of nicki song called grand piano is that her boyfriend is taking her love for granted without her knowing.

    it is about a boyfriend who is loved but takes this love for granted.On top of that he puts it obvious on the outlook in such a way that other people can also see,like"people are talking,people are saying that you've been playing with my heart like a grand piano..."despite all that,the guy is still loved while the chic*nicki*is hurting

    This song is kinda hard to interpret but i think Nicki mean she madly in love with a person who does not have any feelings for her. When she says "cause I keep thinking you were the one who came to take care of this part" it's like she never knew that the person she loved was loving her back for fake . That is why the people were saying that her heart had been played like a grand piano.
