The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Like a Prayer" by the artist "We Are The Fallen"

The song "Like a Prayer" by We Are The Fallen depicts a powerful spiritual and emotional attraction felt by the lyrical hero towards an unnamed "you". This "call" is compared to a prayer, possessing a magical power.

From the very first lines, the voice of "you" takes on an angelic sound, captivating the hero in a dizzying fall akin to flight. This feeling is both frightening and mesmerizing, depriving him of will and making him literally "fall to his knees."

"You" become an object of worship, a source of unknown power, felt especially keenly at midnight – the time of mysticism and sacraments. The image of a child whispering words emphasizes the innocence and purity of this attraction, while the comparison to a dance conveys a sense of euphoria and captivation.

The chorus of the song reinforces the motif of prayer. The lyrical hero is ready to completely surrender to this call, to find home and salvation from loneliness in it. "You" become a muse, a mystery, a dream, leading away from the real world into the world of fantasies and desires.

The repetition of the phrases "Just like a prayer" and "When you call me" enhances the hypnotic effect of the song, and the final "I hear you call me, and it brings a feeling of home" speaks of the hero's complete submission to this mystical call.

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing.

I have no choice, I hear your voice, feels like

Flying. I close my eyes, oh God, I think I'm

Falling, out of the sky. I close my eyes

When you call my name, it's like a little

Prayer. I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you

There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your

Power just like a prayer. You know I'll take

You there

Like a child, you whisper softly to me. You're

In control just like a child, now I'm dancing.

It's like a dream, no end and no beginning.

You're here with me, it's like a dream. Let

The choir sing

When you call my name, it's like a little

Prayer. I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you

There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your

Power just like a prayer. You know I'll take

You there

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone.

I hear you call my name and it feels like

Home

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me

There. Just like a muse to me, you are a

Mystery. Just like a dream, you are not what

You seem. Just like a prayer, no choice,

Your voice can take me there

When you call my name, it's like a little

Prayer. I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you

There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your

Power. Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

When you call my name, it's like a little

Prayer. I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you

There. In the midnight hour, I can feel your

Power. Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone.

I hear you call my name and it feels like
