Play And Pray
Play and Pray: A Melodic Tale of Hope Amidst Despair
Lyrics
Let me sing you a song
Initiating the act of singing a song.
From a bottom of a stinking swamp
Describing the song's origin as bleak and unpleasant, perhaps symbolizing difficult experiences.
From the heart of a canyon
Emphasizing the depth of emotion, as if the song comes from the core of a challenging situation (canyon).
From a doomsday romp
Suggesting a sense of impending doom or catastrophe associated with the song.
And its crafted from a web and blood and dust
Detailing the composition of the song with elements like webs, blood, and dust, implying complexity and hardship.
And when the music will stop
Speculating on the end of the music, hinting at the song's finality.
This song will be the last
Conveying the idea that the song will endure beyond the music's conclusion, possibly as a lasting memory.
And we raise our voices up in a sing along
Engaging in collective singing, creating a shared experience.
And I see your tears when I remind you of home
Observing the emotional impact on others when reminded of their home, possibly evoking nostalgia or sadness.
There is nothing left to do that gonna save us
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and the acknowledgment that certain actions won't rescue the situation.
Until the silence will come we’re gonna play and pray
Anticipating a period of silence and relying on the activities of playing and praying until that time arrives.
There’s an old man with a frost in his hair and a wrinkled face
Introducing an old man characterized by aging and loss, providing a visual image.
He’s lost a lot of friends
Highlighting the old man's significant losses in terms of friendships.
Oh, for heaven’s sakes
Expressing exasperation or surprise regarding the old man's situation.
And in a trembling hand he’s holding a trembling hand
Depicting a poignant scene of the old man holding another person's trembling hand.
So keep your fingers crossed – we’re gonna turn to sand
Encouraging optimism or hope by asking for crossed fingers, despite an inevitable transformation into sand.
And we raise our voices up in a sing along
Reiterating the communal act of raising voices in song.
And I see your tears when i remind you of home
Revisiting the emotional impact on others when reminded of their home.
There is nothing left to do that gonna save us
Repeating the sense of helplessness and the understanding that certain actions won't bring salvation.
Until the silence will come we’re gonna play and pray
Reaffirming the reliance on playing and praying until a period of silence arrives.
