It honestly sounds a lot like someone's dislike with God's absence in their life. They see the hurt and abandonment in the world and want God to know that He's not forgiven for it. When the world ends, He wont forgive Himself. This could also be said about humanity towards itself.
I suppose it could also easily translate to a relationship but that would be stretching it. The lyrics seem to encompass humanity as a whole and speaks with an eternal tone that says the audience is more omniscient than on person.
I agree entirely. It's all about someone losing their faith, and poking at the core of christianity in that "god will always forgive you". In this case, the singer is saying that nobody will forgive god, and god won't likely even forgive himself for the mess...

Why do you just assume the song's about God? God is not mentioned a single time in this song. I am an atheist and I can totally relate to evey phrase of the lyrics without bringing in God in any way.

In my opinion, this song is all about how the world is divided in to two classes. Where the poor stays poor while the rich gets even richer. Take a look at the world we live in, there is a huge amount of evil people, you have no idea. I live in Norway, I can see the greed everywhere....

I mean, look at the lyrics, it's so obvious. Stop looking for meanings that is not there.
And maybe you have not noticed what is really going on around the world. But the rich is eliminating the poor. This is not a secret i Norway. And the seas will cover lands like: Japan, Thailand etc.. and we will not help them. The song is saying that when those people are gone, we will be left on earth feeling unforgiven.

Sorry, Vegard8197 but I think ladypetrichor is right on this one. To me, it makes much more sense for someone to blame God for the mess occurring and for not helping humanity than to aim their words toward the rich, whom nobody expects help from. People are always asking God for help (in the form of prayer) and blame God when things go wrong. This song is a reflection of that.

Or it could be the other way around. God telling us:
You never said a word (didn't encourage or lift anyone up)
Didn't send a letter (didn't pray...wasn't proactive)
You see the world dying and do nothing.
How could I believe your sincerity.
I see my children starving.
Homes being destroyed.
What are you doing about it? Isn't that what I have you for???

@ladypetrichor I think ladypetrichor is most likely right, as the song is titled Prayer in C. On the other hand I can also relate to what vegard8197 is saying and think that what you are saying is true.

But it is a song, and you can take it and feel whatever you want about it and let it mean whatever you want it to mean to you. That's the good thing about music.

@justranting Yeah that could fit well, but the line which talks about the wrinkles of our hands and our hair growing grey, is quite nonsense about God... Anyway I agree, it's properly right on God's point of view!

@ladypetrichor well even if she is mad at him for not doing anything these guys have a lot of money and could help the world themselves, instead they spend it on themselves

You does not mean one person in this context.
