Prudence
Sent By Ravens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They sing and they shout
Beautiful songs from the soul
That no one cares to figure out
I need to know but I'm just a kid
And I need room to grow
We go where we wanna go
We say what we need to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
We form our opinions, yeah
Call it American
But who believes a smile from a child
With all of his teeth clinched
My feelings show cause I'm just a man
And I need room to grow
Tonight
We go where we wanna go
We say what we need to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
Tonight
We do what we have to do
We say what we care to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
Tomorrow's a new day
My feelings show cause I'm just a man
And I need room to grow
Tonight
We go where we wanna go
We say what we need to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
Tonight
We do what we have to do
We say what we care to say
Even if the long road takes us home
Tomorrow's a new day
The song "Prudence" by Sent By Ravens is a reflection of the frustration felt by the younger generation towards the older generation. The first stanza talks about how old birds, which can be interpreted as the older generation, have opinions that are beautiful, but no one seems to care to understand or figure out. This suggests how the younger generation feels that the older generation's opinions and experiences are not valued, and they are not given a chance to express their own opinions and grow as individuals.
The second stanza talks about how the younger generation wants to have room to grow and form their own opinions, but they are not given the chance because they are still seen as kids. Then, the chorus reflects on how tonight they will do what they want to do and say what they need to say, even if it means going against the norm and the long road takes them home. The repetition of "tomorrow's a new day" suggests a sense of hope and optimism for the future.
The last stanza again talks about how the singer's feelings are valid because they are just a man and need room to grow. The chorus is then repeated to reinforce the idea that the younger generation needs to have a voice and be allowed to form their own opinions and beliefs.
Overall, "Prudence" by Sent By Ravens is a song that explores the tension between the younger and older generations, and the desire for the younger generation to have room to grow and be heard.
