My Prayers Are Empty
Lost Prayers: A Soul's Cry in the Silence
Lyrics
Dear god
Expressing a direct address to God
Why ignore all of my prayers
Questioning why God is ignoring prayers
Why leave me to my fears
Questioning why God has left the individual to face their fears alone
I'm lost
Expressing a feeling of being lost
In the memory of what I am inside
Feeling lost in the memory of the individual's true self
(I did everything I was supposed to)
Reflecting on having fulfilled expected responsibilities
Left you to your own devices
Acknowledging distancing from God's influence
(I never thought that you would get to me)
Surprise at the unexpected impact on the speaker
I waited for a payoff
Expressing patience for a reward or resolution
I waited for your words to save me
Waiting for divine words to bring salvation
Dear god
Repetition of the plea to God
Why ignore all of my prayers
Reiteration of the question about unanswered prayers
Why leave me to my fears
Reiteration of feeling abandoned to fears
I'm lost
Repeating the sentiment of being lost
In the memory of what I am inside
Repeating the sense of being lost in one's true self
I walk alone to my car
Walking alone to a car, symbolizing solitude
In the middle of the night
Being alone in the middle of the night
Fighting thoughts of what has been
Struggling with thoughts of the past
And what will come to be
Contemplating the future and what it holds
The darkness covers everything
Metaphorical darkness covering everything
Like the wool over my eyes
Comparing darkness to a wool covering the eyes, indicating blindness
I'll never feel the same
Expressing a permanent change in feelings
My hands will always shake
Hands shaking as a physical manifestation of emotional turmoil
