in_this_moment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My head leaned back, my hands are tied
I stand in here alone I scream
Questions why
Days slip by and nights I taste
These memories run through my veins
Injecting me with one last kiss
This medication can't save me
And desperation takes hold of me
I wanted to believe in all of this
And I wanted to believe in you
(You believed in me)
All I am, all I have
Leads me down these roads again
Take my hand, show me the way
And never bring me back here
Determination is pushing me
And perseverance is what I bleed
I wanted to believe in all of this
And I wanted to believe in you
(You believed in me)
All I am, all I have
Leads me down these roads again
Take my hand, show me the way
And never bring me back here
These are my unanswered prayers
The time has come for me
To say goodbye
God please hear me calling
All I am, all I have
Leads me down these roads again
Take my hand, show me the way
And never bring me back here again
Never bring me back here again
Never bring me back
These are my unanswered prayers
The time has come for me
To say goodbye
God please hear me calling
The lyrics to In This Moment's song "Prayers" express the feelings of desperation and hopelessness of the singer. The first stanza describes a sense of helplessness as the singer feels trapped and restrained, asking why they are there, and questioning their purpose. The singer describes the pain of holding on to memories that are slowly killing them, like a drug, injecting them with a last kiss of sorrow, asking why. However, they realize that the medication they are taking won't save them, and they are desperate for something to hold onto, something to believe in. They express their wish for someone they can trust, someone who could guide them out of this darkness, and never bring them back. The singer's determination to move on despite the despair they are feeling is palpable through the lyrics. They express their perseverance and hope that they can believe in something or someone, but they know that it's a difficult road.
The chorus, "All I am, all I have. Leads me down these roads again. Take my hand, show me the way. And never bring me back here again," emphasizes the singer's desire for guidance, and their apprehension about returning to the darkness they are currently experiencing.
The last stanza, "These are my unanswered prayers. The time has come for me to say goodbye. God please hear me calling," is where the singer realizes that they have to let go of their past and unanswered prayers in order to move forward. They acknowledge that they have reached the end of what they can endure and cry out to God to hear their plea for help.
Overall, "Prayers" is a powerful song about the struggle to hold onto hope in the face of despair. It's a call for guidance and direction from someone or something that can lead the singer out of their pain and towards a better future.
