Prayer
Unveiling Hidden Selves: A Melodic Journey of Reflection
Lyrics
I see myself in you
I recognize aspects of myself in you
I know your heart can't find joy
Understanding that your heart struggles to find joy
In the way you choose to exist
Commenting on the manner in which you choose to live
You push back but cannot resist
Noting your resistance despite pushing back
What's that that you got there
Curiosity about something you possess
I seem to be the one caught in your stare
Feeling trapped or affected by your gaze
This disconnect between us
Acknowledging a disconnect between the speaker and you
It's left me on my own
Expressing the loneliness resulting from the disconnect
I can't be on my own
Reinforcing the inability to be alone
Laying in bed alone
Describing the solitude of lying in bed alone
Cognations of who am I and what it means to be at home
Contemplating identity and the meaning of home
Forever on my own
Emphasizing a perpetual state of solitude
They judge me not for who I am but for what I have shown
Highlighting judgment based on outward appearances
I guess I never really knew my friends
Reflecting on a lack of understanding from friends
Let me skip right to the end
Proposing to skip to the end of the relationship
Now you know how I really felt
Revealing true feelings that were previously hidden
Please just save me from myself
Pleading for rescue from internal struggles
I can never forget how you lied
Recalling a past experience of being deceived
Like the last rose pedal you died
Comparing the deceit to the wilting of a rose
I will never forget how you lied
Reiterating the impact of the remembered lie
And like the last rose pedal you died
Drawing a parallel to the withering of a rose
I look back on my past and what I've shown
Reflecting on the speaker's past actions and displays
You treat like a boy as if I'm not grown
Feeling treated like a child despite being grown
I can't take it
Expressing an inability to endure the situation
You won't make it
Suggesting that you won't overcome the challenges
This line between us I won't break it
Asserting a commitment to maintaining a boundary
I might take a hit but won't spark it
Willingness to endure hardship without succumbing
Don't spread yourself on the carpet
Advising against spreading oneself too thin
The songs that you sing
Referring to the songs you sing
The light that I need
Emphasizing the need for the light that you provide
The dark that you bring
Highlighting the darkness or challenges you bring
The songs that I sing
Acknowledging the importance of the songs the speaker sings
