Prides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to throw myself into whatever I choose
I want to hold it I want to feel
I want to know that this is really biting at my heel
I know it's hard for you
I'll save the only truth
You don't have to lock the door
I don't live there anymore.
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love.
I want to dream it and it to be true
I want to be the one they say "hey he's coming through"
They'll open up the door
We'll live here I promise you won't want anymore
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love.
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love
I know now that I want to keep it
Oh my god do I want love.
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
So say it say it say you'll be my Messiah
The lyrics to "Messiah" by Prides are about the desire for love and acceptance. The singer wants to throw themselves into whatever they choose, to experience and feel, and to know that they are truly alive. They express that they no longer live behind locked doors, indicating that they have let go of fear and are now more open to love. The singer wants to dream big and have their dreams come true, to be recognized and accepted by others. They express a desire for someone to be their "Messiah," meaning that they want someone to save them, to be their savior and someone who will fulfill their desire for love and acceptance.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I know now that I want to keep it, oh my god do I want love," emphasizing the singer's desire for love and their realization that they want to hold onto it once they have it. The repetition of "so say it say it say you'll be my Messiah" further emphasizes the singer's need for someone to fill the role of their savior and bring them the love they crave.
Overall, the song is about the universal desire for love and acceptance and the longing for someone to fill that void.
