Prey
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of 'Prey' by Wild Front
Lyrics
Slipping through the cracks and all I wanna know is how to make it ok
Expressing a desire to understand how to overcome challenges and difficulties.
It's heavy on my chest, I see it when I lie awake and rest my head
Feeling burdened by something, likely a problem, and experiencing its weight during moments of reflection.
Walk through the undergrowth
Moving through a difficult or challenging situation symbolized by "undergrowth."
See how much it takes control of where you are going
Reflecting on the impact that external forces have on one's direction in life.
I’m losing all the light
Sensing a loss of hope or positivity.
But flowers growing on my skin are keeping me living
Finding solace or strength in small, positive aspects, represented by "flowers growing on my skin."
It keeps on knocking at my door, and I don't wanna face it
Repeatedly avoiding or ignoring a challenging situation knocking at the door, indicating a reluctance to confront it.
It keeps on knocking at my door, and I don't wanna face it
-I’m prey to my doubts
Feeling vulnerable and defeated by personal uncertainties, remaining stagnant.
I take it lying down
-I’m stuck on the same ground
-I pray for myself
Expressing a desire for self-improvement while acknowledging the struggle to break free from challenges.
Keep holding it down
-I’m stuck on the same ground
-The Queen and country vote
Raising questions about the state of the world and the challenges faced collectively, possibly referencing societal or political issues.
Whatever will we do?
-How could we carry on living?
-The never ending road
-Choke it out and give as good as anyone's giving
-It keeps on knocking at my door, and I don't wanna face it
Reiterating the avoidance of confronting a persistent problem.
It keeps on knocking at my door, and I don't wanna face it
-I’m prey to my doubts
Reiterating personal struggles and feeling stuck in a difficult situation.
I take it lying down
-I’m stuck on the same ground
-I pray for myself
Continuing the theme of seeking personal improvement but facing obstacles.
Keep holding it down
-I’m stuck on the same ground
-Reel me in and spit me out
Describing a cycle of being drawn into and then rejected by challenges or uncertainties.
Reel me in and spit me out
-Maybe I’ll lay it down for ya
Suggesting a willingness to surrender or compromise in the face of challenges.
I’m prey to my doubts
Reiterating the vulnerability to personal doubts and a passive acceptance of challenges.
I take it lying down
-I’m prey to my doubts
-I take it lying down
-It keeps on knocking at my door
Reinforcing the persistent nature of a challenging situation that is being avoided.
