Lyrics
Don't come to me
Expressing a desire for others not to approach or approach cautiously.
Asking if I want to be saved
Rejecting an offer or inquiry about salvation or rescue.
I've heard it all a million times
Indicating a sense of repetition in hearing similar messages numerous times.
And still you're not listening
Conveying frustration that despite the repetition, the speaker feels unheard.
I don't care about
Disinterest in material or heavenly rewards symbolized by "golden streets."
Your golden streets
Rejecting offers or assurances of an eternal afterlife.
Or your promises of eternity
Expressing a lack of concern for promises related to eternity.
I was a child
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker was young and innocent.
Only trying to save
Recalling an attempt to protect the family from a tragic event.
A family from a tragedy
Highlighting the motivation behind the speaker's actions.
I had my faith
Referencing a previous experience of having faith.
In his hands once before
Indicating a loss of faith or disillusionment with a higher power.
I screamed my prayers
Describing a passionate plea through prayer that went unanswered.
They all went completely ignored
Expressing frustration or disappointment with the lack of response.
How many times
Pleading for attention and understanding, emphasizing a sense of urgency.
Do I have to scream for you to hear me?
Reiterating the frustration of not being heard despite repeated pleas.
How many times
Pondering the number of times one must pray for acknowledgment.
Do I have to pray for you to prove
Questioning the need to pray for evidence of being loved.
I am loved
Expressing a desire for affirmation of love within the family.
In the eyes of my family
Highlighting the importance of recognition and love within the family unit.
How many times?
Persisting in questioning the frequency or necessity of seeking acknowledgment.
