futo miushinatta jibun wo mita

iroasete kiete iku
kao no nai hitogomi no naka de
utagoe wa todokanai
kaki kesarete shimau kara

subete wa kono yoru ni

hikari wo ataeru!!!
subete wa kono toki ni
namida wa kesenai kedo
I pray in the Dark

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Acid's song "Prayer" depict a sense of loneliness, disorientation, and desperation. The first verse talks about feeling lost and disconnected from oneself and others, amidst a faceless crowd, without the ability to communicate one's thoughts and emotions. The chorus, while acknowledging the pain and darkness of the moment, calls for hope, for the power of words to provide light and healing, and for the act of praying to offer a means of connection and peace.


The second verse paints a picture of being caught in a storm of emotions and sensations, of feeling numb and overwhelmed at the same time. The plea to be heard, to break through the silence and the erasure, suggests a desire for recognition and validation. The second chorus reinforces the idea of offering prayers as a way of reaching out beyond one's limitations, of gathering and amplifying one's inner light and sending it towards the horizon, towards a future where tears may not be necessary anymore.


Overall, the lyrics of "Prayer" express the human need for connection, for expression, for meaning, in a world that can sometimes feel cold, oppressive, and incomprehensible. The song invites the listener to join in the act of praying, of singing out loud, of sharing vulnerabilities, as a way of affirming one's existence and searching for grace.
