praying
Keiino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wherever I go
Whenever I sleep
Whatever I do
You always linger with me
 
Im drying my tears
Im facing my fears
Got nowhere to run
You always gonna find me

But my body feels so strong tonight
A chaos born in candlelight
Dont wanna go home
 
A darkness waiting on a throne
Been fighting shadows all alone
I fear them tonight
 
Should I be praying
I found my grace in staying
True to every bone in me
Please dont call me down
 
Im not pretending
My light is neverending
There will come a day for me
But sing it to me carefully

Should I be praying
Am I lost, I don't wanna go home
If I must, I'll be fighting alone
Won't let anybody hold me down
Should I be praying
Am I lost, I dont wanna go home now
Won't let anybody hold me down
 
Whatever I've known
Wherever I've been
Whomever I loved
You wanna take it from me
 
But my body feels so strong tonight
A chaos born in candlelight
Don't wanna go home
 
A shadow I can feel alone
Can't shake it off or calm me down
I fear them tonight
 
Should I be praying
Am I lost, I don't wanna go home
If I must, I'll be fighting alone
Won't let anybody hold me down
Should I be praying




Am I lost, I dont wanna go home now
Won't let anybody hold me down

Overall Meaning

In Keiino's song "Praying", the artist sings about feeling lost and alone yet remaining strong and fighting against the shadows that seem to haunt them everywhere they go. The lyrics suggest that the person is dealing with some sort of emotional or mental struggle, and although they are facing it alone, there is still a sense of determination and resilience in their words. They often mention not wanting to go home, which could suggest that home represents a place of negativity or darkness for them. Additionally, the line "Should I be praying" could either be interpreted as a call for help or a questioning of faith.


The artist's use of powerful imagery, such as a "chaos born in candlelight" and a "shadow waiting on a throne," helps to convey the emotional intensity of the song. The repetition of the phrase "won't let anybody hold me down" further emphasizes the artist's determination to overcome their struggles and find their own way.


Overall, Keiino's "Praying" is a moving and introspective song about the difficult journey of personal growth and self-discovery.
