Say Your Prayers
Darlia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like everything and everyone
I saw your reflection in the sun
I looked away and it was gone
Lately I make it happen
I try so hard to let it shine but I can't
It's just around of phase as I live
And I can't let it happen again
Say your prayers, say your prayers
Say your prayers, say your prayers
'Cause it's time to get me
You're out of your head
You're out of there
Why you let yourself
When you're in, when you run
Like everything and everyone
I saw your reflection in the sun
I looked away and it was gone
Lately I make it happen
I try so hard to let it shine but I can't
It's just around of phase as I live
And I can't let it happen again
So come join me up
Say your prayers, say your prayers
Say your prayers, say your prayers
'Cause it's time to get me
You're out of your head
You're out of there
Why you let yourself
Say your prayers, say your prayers
Say your prayers, say your prayers
'Cause it's time to get me
You're out of your head
You're out of there
Why you let yourself
The lyrics to Darlia's song "Say Your Prayers" seem to be addressing someone who is running away from everything and everyone, and the singer is trying to get this person to face their problems and deal with them head-on. The verses seem to address the singer's own struggles with letting something shine (possibly their own talent or creativity), but being unable to because it keeps getting caught up in a phase they can't escape from. The chorus emphasizes the need to "say your prayers" and face whatever is holding you back. The repetition of the phrase "You're out of your head" could be interpreted as a plea for the listener to stop overthinking and just take action.
The song might be seen as a call to action for those who are struggling to break out of a stagnant phase in their lives. The singer is trying to help them move forward, but only if they are willing to take the necessary steps. The use of religious imagery with the repeated phrase "Say your prayers" could also suggest that the listener needs to seek guidance or strength from a higher power to overcome their struggles.
