Prayer In C
Robin Schulz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya, 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

Ya, 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

Ya, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair, it 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

Ya, 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

Ya, 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

Ya, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair, it 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

Ey, 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

"Prayer in C" is a song that is sung from the perspective of someone who has been wronged and thinks that the person who committed the wrong is beyond redemption. The singer/singer says that this person never apologized or even acknowledged their actions, indicating that they don't even see their actions as wrong. The singer/singer implies, in the first few lines, that they could never forgive the person who wronged them.


The chorus takes a turn when the singer/singer admits that they are worried about a larger issue than their personal grievances. The world is decaying and dying, and time is running out for humanity. The singer admonishes the wrong-doer for their lack of action in this environmental crisis, and says that children are dying and the world is falling apart. When the seas finally swallow up the land and all human life ends, the singer warns that the wrong-doer will never be able to forgive themselves.


Overall, the song is a warning to those who are too self-involved to make changes in their own lives and contribute to improving the world for future generations. It is a condemnation of people who refuse to acknowledge their faults and change, and warns that if they don't do so, they will be unable to live with themselves when it is too late.

@adrenjones9301

@@VilkasPilkas Sweet! Here´s some worthless advice:

Always question what you see, most facts in your life are gonna be lies or worse, half truth

Be kind, but focus on yourself. Its good to be nice to People, but the better you do as an individual the better society as a whole will prosper.

Work out. Your Body is the only thing you truly own. Make it into something you can be proud of.

Its Worthless advice because you wont listen.
