Prayer In C
Lilly Wood & The Prick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you

See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yeah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you

And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you

Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you

Yeah, when there'll just be silence




And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lilly Wood & The Prick's song Prayer In C speak of a broken relationship, where one person has hurt the other so deeply that forgiveness seems impossible. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer expressing their hurt that the other person never spoke to them or even sent a letter, leaving them with no explanation for the breakup. The second verse speaks to the larger issues affecting the world, with the singer having a sense of urgency and not wanting to waste any more time on this broken relationship. They express that they cannot believe or forgive the other person for what they have done.


The chorus is where the lyrics become more ominous; the singer imagines a future where the world is slowly dying and people are suffering, and wonders if the other person will be able to forgive themselves for the hurt they caused. The imagery becomes more apocalyptic as the song progresses, with seas covering lands and men no longer existing. The singer tells the other person that in the end, when there is nothing left but silence and life is over, they will not be able to forgive themselves for what they have done.


Overall, the song is about a deep sense of hurt and betrayal, and the idea that forgiveness may not always be possible, especially in light of the larger issues affecting the world.
