Destrophy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it wasn't enough
This fear has clouded my eyes
I fear I've lost everything that I've won
And now I've become the lie
And I pray
To be The man I should be
I want to be alive
Something must have gone wrong
This faith has clouded my eyes
I fear I am lost
I am already gone
And now it's too late to try
When will my senses come to me
Or will they take me
I can't believe the things I see
Don't let them break me
I prayed for life and I knew it was wrong
I prayed for life and it's already gone
When will my senses come to me
Or will they take me
I can't believe the things I see
Don't let them break me
The lyrics of Destrophy's song, Pray, revolve around the concept of praying for life and how it may not be enough to overcome the fear and doubts that cloud our minds. The singer is plagued by the feeling that they have lost all that they have won and have become a lie. Despite their efforts to be the man they should be, they feel lost and already gone. The singer questions when their senses will come to them, or if they will ultimately be taken over by their fears.
The repetition of the phrase "I prayed for life" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desperation and emphasizes their disillusionment with the idea that praying alone will solve their problems. They are struggling with their faith and feel that it has clouded their vision, preventing them from seeing things clearly. The line "Don't let them break me" reveals the singer's vulnerability and emphasizes their need for strength and resilience. Overall, the song conveys a powerful message about perseverance in the face of adversity and the importance of self-reflection.
