Have you ever listened to a song and caught a phrase they said and realized the power that words can have? Songwriters have an amazing way to take their experiences and put them into a beautiful song for everyone to enjoy. Whether we interpret it in our way with what we are dealing with in our lives, or if the words are speaking to exactly what we are going through, the words just speak to us. Here are some song lyrics that have a deeper meaning.
1. “Praying” by Kesha (2017)
“Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell I had to learn how to fight for myself. And we both know all the truth I could tell I’ll just say this is I wish you farewell.
I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying. I hope your soul is changing, changing. Hope you find your peace, Falling on your knees, praying.
I’m proud of who I am. No more monsters, I can breathe again. And you said that I was done. Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come.”https://12964d715f5d7dadc155a8bb7b251c4f.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
