Praying
Rising from Flames: A Triumph Over Betrayal
Lyrics
Well, you almost had me fooled
Expressing deception or betrayal, feeling almost fooled by someone.
Told me that I was nothing without you
Acknowledging being told that one is nothing without the other person.
Oh, but after everything you've done
Reflecting on the negative actions of the other person.
I can thank you for how strong I have become
Gratitude for personal strength gained from overcoming challenges.
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
Attributing hardships and suffering to the person being addressed.
I had to learn how to fight for myself
Learning to defend oneself and becoming independent.
And we both know all the truth I could tell
Acknowledging knowledge of truths that could be revealed.
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
Expressing a farewell wish to the person responsible for the pain.
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
Expressing hope for the other person's positive transformation through prayer.
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
Continuing to wish for the spiritual growth of the other person.
I hope you find your peace
Wishing for the other person to find inner peace.
Falling on your knees, prayin'
Imagining the other person in a vulnerable position, praying.
I'm proud of who I am
Expressing pride in personal identity and growth.
No more monsters, I can breathe again
Claiming victory over inner demons and the ability to breathe freely.
And you said that I was done
Rejecting a previous assertion that the person was finished.
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
Asserting that the best times are yet to come despite past hardships.
'Cause I can make it on my own, oh
Emphasizing self-sufficiency and independence.
And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known
Declaring newfound strength and resilience.
I'll bring thunder, I'll bring rain, oh-oh
Symbolizing personal power with references to natural forces.
When I'm finished, they won't even know your name
Anticipating anonymity for the person causing pain.
You brought the flames and you put me through hell
Reiterating the suffering caused by the other person.
I had to learn how to fight for myself
Reiterating the process of learning self-defense and independence.
And we both know all the truth I could tell
Reaffirming knowledge of truths that could be exposed.
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
Repeating the farewell wish to the person responsible.
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
Repeating the hope for the other person's positive transformation through prayer.
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
Repeating the wish for the other person's spiritual growth.
I hope you find your peace
Repeating the wish for the other person to find inner peace.
Falling on your knees, prayin'
Repeating the imagery of the other person in a vulnerable position, praying.
Oh, sometimes I pray for you at night
Adding a layer of empathy by expressing prayers for the person causing pain.
Someday, maybe you'll see the light
Hoping for the person to see the light and change someday.
Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give
Acknowledging the karmic principle that one receives what one gives in life.
But some things only God can forgive
Highlighting the concept of divine forgiveness for certain actions.
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
Reiterating the hope for the other person's positive transformation through prayer.
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
Reiterating the wish for the other person's spiritual growth.
I hope you find your peace
Reiterating the wish for the other person to find inner peace.
Falling on your knees, prayin'
Repeating the imagery of the other person in a vulnerable position, praying.
