A Sinner's Prayer
Cassie Steele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mother, help me find my way
Will temptations sway my faith?
My beliefs of purity
Are corrupted by insanity

Dying with despair
God, do you care
Of a sinner's prayer

Let her rip with finger tips
Let her strip me with a kiss
Grab my hips and let her rip

Father, guide me when I pray
Show me where to turn when I stray
Tempting immaculate
Such thoughts of sin are rewarded in death

Dying with despair
God, do you care
Of a sinner's prayer

Let her rip with finger tips
Let her strip me with a kiss
Grab my hips and let her rip

Let her rip for all see
Let her course inside of me
Let this sin fulfill my need
Let her rip with finger tips




Let her strip me with a kiss
Grab my hips and let her rip

Overall Meaning

In Cassie Steele's song, "A Sinner's Prayer," she is struggling with her beliefs of purity and faith. She asks her mother to help guide her and wonders if she will be swayed by temptations. The idea of corruption and insanity is plaguing her mind, and she is afraid that she will die with despair. She questions if God still cares about a sinner's prayer.


The second verse is paralleled with asking her father to guide her and show her the right path when she strays. Cassie talks about how tempting sin can be and how it seems to be rewarded with death. Once again, she questions if God cares about someone who has strayed from their faith.


The lyrics showcase an internal battle and struggle with temptation and religion. Cassie seems to be yearning for guidance and trying to find her way back to her faith. The last few lines especially, where she talks about letting the sin "rip with finger tips, let her strip me with a kiss, grab my hips and let her rip" seem to show that Cassie is succumbing to her desires and is willing to let them take over her.

This song is a lot better than I thought it would be. I loved Cassie in Degrassi, just started watching the series Friday and I'm already on season 4 :D Are you connected with Cassie?

Even for her biggest fan, this song seems kind of weird.. And it's a bit obvious that she's bisexual, A sinner's prayer and God cannot explain have spoken :) I especially admire her for being so brave about it.And damn, how creative is she?! You gotta LOVE Her!! <3

I don't think it's necessarily a "bisexual" thing in this song, but just having sexual urges and other urges/behaviors in general that are deemed "unclean" by biblical standards or whatnot. Premarital and such. Growing up Christian house, even having sexual thoughts in a straight perspective made me feel dirty.. just because of how my house, school and church were on the subject. It was the "forbidden" topic and that drew it to me even more and led me to some very poor decisions purely for the sake of rebelling against it. and then the guilt that was ingrained in me came after... I can relate so much to this song.


Side note, though, I am attracted to women as well I realized later in life :)
