SWANN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now I'm getting old
And I hope that you'll remember me
When you said you'd throw it all away
I hoped that you take me too
'Cause when you said goodbye
You told me so - "I won't leave you lonely",
But now you've gone and now I know
I'll say a prayer and walk alone
You said you couldn't stay here long
Someone was waiting for your love
When I'm missing you I look around
Hoping you're coming back home
'Cause when you said goodbye
You told me so - "I won't leave you lonely",
Yes I know
But now you've gone and now I know
I'll say a prayer and walk alone
I'll say a prayer and hope you're fine
I'll say a prayer and hope you're fine
I'll say a prayer and hope you're fine
And I will walk alone
In "I'll Say a Prayer," SWANN explores the feelings of heartbreak and abandonment that follow a breakup. The song is a reflective ballad, as the singer grapples with the painful reality of being left by someone they love. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the singer's emotional state: "So you're leaving me / And now I'm getting old." The use of the word "old" adds a sense of mortality to the lyrics, suggesting that the singer feels as though time is running out for them to find love again.
The singer holds out hope that their former partner will think of them, even as they move on with their life: "And I hope that you'll remember me / When you said you'd throw it all away / I hoped that you take me too." This line suggests a desire to be remembered, to have meant something to the person who left them.
As the song progresses, the singer comes to terms with the fact that their former partner is not coming back: "But now you've gone and now I know / I'll say a prayer and walk alone." The phrase "walk alone" underscores the sense of loneliness and isolation the singer is feeling.
Overall, "I'll Say a Prayer" is a powerful meditation on the emotions that follow heartbreak. SWANN's beautiful and emotive voice conveys the sense of pain and loss that the lyrics describe, making the song a moving and relatable experience for listeners.
