Pray
GAD. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothing else for me to do
I pray for hours and hours
'Cause you've not learned to keep
Your vows
I pray for you tonight
Chasing some tenderness
Hunting a strange kind of romance
The white lights of your little town...
Remind me of this awful sound...
But I'm standing on my feet again...
I'm standing on my feet again...
Ignoring everything you say...
I'm standing on my feet again...
I pray and pray for you
I am so afraid of losing you
This time there's no way back
This time i know there's no way out...
Come on and pray for me
Some things may not be as they seem
Who really knows what's right?
Who really cares for you tonight?
The white lights of your little town...
Remind me of this awful sound...
But I'm standing on my feet again...
I'm standing on my feet again...
Ignoring everything you say...
I'm standing on my feet again...
The lyrics to GAD.'s song Pray encapsulate the feeling of desperation and helplessness that comes from watching someone you care about throw away their promises and chase after false dreams. The repetition of the phrase "I pray and pray for you" emphasizes the singer's sense of urgency and is almost a desperate plea to a higher power to intervene in the situation. The singer is at a loss for how to help the person he cares about, and prayer seems to be the only option left.
The lines "Chasing some tenderness, hunting a strange kind of romance" suggest that the person the singer is praying for is searching for something that they cannot find within their current situation, perhaps seeking something that is not genuine or real. Meanwhile, the lines "Ignoring everything you say, I'm standing on my feet again" suggest that the singer has come to realize that he cannot fix the situation, and that he must focus on taking care of himself.
Overall, the lyrics of Pray are a testament to the powerlessness that can come from caring about someone who is making poor choices, and the sense of hopelessness that can accompany that feeling.
