Eric Prydz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the reason why
Years fly by, and I don't find
The strength I need to grow
I know, I know

Enemies, they stand in line
I'm on my knees, and I can't find
The words I to let you know

I know, I know, I know

You are the reason why
Years fly by, and I don't find
The strength I need to grow
I know, I know

Enemies, they stand in line
I'm on my knees, and I can't find
The words I to let you know
I know, I know, I know

You are the reason why
You are the reason why
You are the reason why
You are the reason why
You are the reason why
You are the reason why

You are the reason why
You are the reason why

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eric Prydz's "Pryda" are introspective and reflective, conveying a sense of struggle and a search for personal growth. The repeated phrases "You are the reason why, years fly by" emphasize the passage of time and the singer's need to overcome obstacles that prevent him from evolving. The line "Enemies, they stand in line" indicates that there are external forces at play that threaten to hold the singer back, possibly referring to people who are critical or unsupportive of his journey.

Overall, the lyrics of "Pryda" convey a sense of vulnerability, honesty, and determination as the singer acknowledges his struggles and works to overcome them.
