Dear God
Abandoned Prayers: Seeking Answers in Darkness
Lyrics
Have I been forgotten
Expressing a feeling of being overlooked or neglected
For all I've done
Reflecting on past actions and questioning if they have been forgotten
Maybe my migraine
Suggesting a personal struggle or hardship, possibly a metaphorical migraine
Can ease the pain
Hoping for relief or comfort to ease emotional pain
Are you there
Pleading or questioning the existence of a higher power
Dear God why have you abandoned my every prayer
Expressing a sense of abandonment in prayers directed to God
Has Eve's apple fallen too far from the tree
Comparing a situation to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, questioning distance from divine origins
I'm sick of doubting every thought
Feeling weary from doubting every thought or decision
Now I'm on my knees and I'm alone in the dark
Being in a state of vulnerability, alone in a difficult situation
I'm selfish for wanting his attention
Acknowledging a selfish desire for attention
I'm wrong for wanting something more than this
Recognizing a desire for more than the current circumstances offer
Can I be forgiven
Pleading for forgiveness, seeking redemption
No
Conveying a sense of despair or a belief in one's inability to be forgiven
Can I be forgiven
Repeating the theme of doubt regarding forgiveness
No
Reiterating a perceived lack of possibility for forgiveness
Dear God why have you abandoned my every prayer
Repeating the feeling of being abandoned in prayer
Has Eve's apple fallen too far from the tree
Reiterating the comparison to Eve's story, emphasizing distance from divine connection
Now you're here
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment of the presence of a higher power
I can pay attention now
Feeling capable of paying attention to the divine now
I'm so sorry that you felt alone
Apologizing for the perceived loneliness experienced by the higher power
Dear God why have you abandoned my every prayer
Repeating the feeling of abandonment in prayer
Has Eve's apple fallen too far from the tree
Reiterating the comparison to Eve's story, emphasizing distance from divine connection
Now you're here
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment of the presence of a higher power
I can pay attention now
Feeling capable of paying attention to the divine now
I'm so sorry that you felt alone
Apologizing for the perceived loneliness experienced by the higher power
