Say A Little Prayer
Hush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don' talk much, reveal nothing
Don't complain a lot, never show a thing

Frosty trees will grab at you until you fall
And dark birds above you will follow you from this day on

But the pain is concealed
There is nothing here to see
Except for a broken and shattered heart

Say a little, say a little prayer
Everything you wanted lies right here
And I'll say a little, say a little prayer
I hope some day you'll reach out again
I'll say a little, say a little prayer

Colder, when you turn away
Older, when you face yourself

You cry out loud but you're caught in silence
And echoes fall as an icy rain on your skin

But the pain is concealed
There is nothing here to see
Except for a broken and shattered heart





Don't talk, reveal nothing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hush's song "Say a Little Prayer" delve into the pain of a person who is hurting and struggling to move on. The first verse advises that one shouldn't talk too much - to reveal as little as possible to others. The idea here is that the person should internalize their feelings and emotions rather than communicating them outwardly. In this way, the hurt individual can conceal the pain they're feeling and move on without having to show the world the turmoil they're experiencing. The lines "Frosty trees will grab at you until you fall, and dark birds above you will follow you from this day on" and "You cry out loud, but you're caught in silence, and echoes fall as an icy rain on your skin" convey the idea that the person's pain and grief is inescapable and will follow them wherever they go. The pain is tragically real and painful.


However, the chorus brings a glimmer of hope in the form of a prayer. The singer hopes the listener will say a little prayer, believing that everything they want is within reach. The second verse further states that turning away from the source of the pain only makes it colder, and that looking inward and facing the pain head-on is how one becomes older and ultimately wiser. In this way, the lyrics encourage the listener to face their issues head-on and say a little prayer for guidance and strength to move forward.


Overall, the lyrics to "Say a Little Prayer" offer a powerful message of hope for anyone struggling with pain and loss. The lines encourage the listener to be strong, to face their struggles head-on, and to reach out for help when they need it most.
