Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
None of my friends can even tell
I wanna fucking die, but I never say it
Sick of getting high, but I do the same shit
I can't even cry, so I try to fake it
I hate it
I pray to God, let me die in my sleep
You're as sick as all the secrets you keep
But the truth is, I don't wanna be me
I pray to God, let me die in my sleep
Now I'm waking up and I'm not dead
Living off the words I know you said
I feel like I'm alive and I'm gonna make it
Maybe if I cry I don't have to fake it
I'm giving up my pain, so you can take it
I hate it
I pray to God I don't die in my sleep
I pray to God I don't die in my sleep
I'm as sick as all these secrets I keep
But the truth is, I can only be me
I pray to God I don't die in my sleep
I pray to God I don't die in my sleep
I pray to God I don't die in my sleep
I pray to God I don't die in my sleep
And now I'm sick of all the secrets I keep
I pray to God, let me die in my-
The lyrics of "Pray" by jxdn are a raw and honest reflection of the singer's battle with depression and suicidal thoughts. The first verse talks about how the singer's friends are unable to tell that he is going through a tough time. He mentions that he wants to die but never expresses it. This is a common feeling among people with depression, as they often feel they don't want to burden others with their problems. The singer also talks about being sick of getting high, which could mean he is trying to numb his pain with drugs. He then says he can't even cry, so he fakes it, showing how he feels disconnected from his emotions and is struggling to express them.
The chorus talks about the singer's intense desire to die in his sleep. He prays to God to grant him this wish because he is unable to deal with the pain of living. He mentions that he is sick because of the secrets he keeps but can't be himself. This line touches upon the idea that hiding one's true self and emotions can lead to mental health issues. The second verse talks about how the singer is now waking up and feeling alive. He says he will no longer fake his emotions and is giving up his pain. This shows that he is on a journey towards healing and recovery.
Overall, "Pray" is a powerful song that sheds light on the struggles of mental health and how it can affect someone's life. The lyrics are a testament to the importance of speaking out and seeking help.

The fact that so many people around the world are listening to this feeling and going through diffirent things e.g Anger,Depression,S*cicide thoughts,Happiness,Excitment Etc. Amazes me everytime.But it also hurts me knowing there are people going through SO much pain right now and i cant do anything to help them infact my own friends/Family could and might not even know.But what i do know is it is going to be okay. It may not feel like it but you are loved.I love you.Give it time.Heal.You'll be okay.Just make sure to be sad for only a little while then stop because thats when the real problem starts.Dont sink into the darkness. Talk to someone.Pray.Write a letter about how you feel. Do something.You're not alone.
