| Seal – Prayer For The Dying Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Man, this one's deep. This song is written at a spiritual level. 2 Heroine addicts broke up as one came down with aids and the one talking in the first person learned his lesson and stoped the addiction. Forceful aging is sending the one with aids near death and this song take places right before the Aids victim passes away. Seal is crossing a bridge to a new life while his once spiritual partner and co-addict is going on living - with a couple of hard lessons. Seal acknowledges he was stupid and came out better by luck. In the song it is a sad time as time has cured him and let him go past that relationship. He may not know what his former partner is going through as time as changed them - but he's telling us all that spiritual connections can't be broken - but time can stagnate it in the past. He's crying to the world - by saying I don't know what got into me. It's a cry for the living and a prayer for the dying - it digs down to the divide between our conscious and unconscious/spiritual sides and the uncertainty we all have of the after and of where the choices we make take us. Absolutely stunning song. |
