Kill Dragon Lyrics

Lately he hasn't been listening to me
Lately he hasn't been listening to me
I guess he's a man and he's meant to leave

Well I'm standing here right next to me
I got no girl to listen to me
What can I do?
What can I do?

And so I pray the child's prayer I was taught as a little kid
Before my head was stretched
Before my mother died
Before my brother died
Before the plague... ruined my life

I'm gonna change my prayer
I'm gonna change my prayer
I'm gonna change my prayer

So Mary...
So Mary...
So Mary...

So Mary, Mary, Mary would you merry me?
Mary, Mary, Mary would you merry me?
And me and you and Jesus could be a family
Mary, Mary, Mary if you'd merry me?
Me and Jesus could play and do child-like things
Oh Mary, Mary, Mary would you merry me?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Here is how I interpret it:

The first section is about a girl complaining to her friend that is a guy about how her boyfriend left her.

The second part: "Well I'm standing here right next to me I got no girl to listen to me What can I do? What can I do?" It is now the man talking, and he is basically saying "I am next to you for you to talk to, but I need to be strong for you" so he has no one to talk to but himself. And for whatever reason, he can't tell the girl what is bothering him.

Then the part about prayer is saying he loves this girl so much, he almost deitizes her. Now instead of "prayers" they are "pleas" and he begs her to be with him.

That isn't a fully fleshed out explanation, but you can fill in the blanks from there. I interpret as a guy trying to exit the 'friendzone'.

He doesn't say, "Ive got no girl to listen to me"

He says, "Ive got no god to listen to me"

And its probably the singers point of view, probably some reference to a crisis of faith when he was homeless after his house burned down and his fiancee left him
