Lights - Prodigal Daughter Lyrics

Lights Lyrics

"Prodigal Daughter"

Take me to the doctor
Cover me with holy water
Cleanse me with fire
'Cause I am the prodigal daughter
I have been all the way down
I was a dead woman walking
You don't go looking for the truth
Until you've heard the devil talking

Now I'm making a living
Crashing the algorithm
Flip the pillow to the cool side
Love, magic, feminism
Finally found religion
Laying naked on the poolside

Baby I'm back
Baby I'm back, I'm back
Baby I'm back
Baby I'm back, I'm back, back, back, back

They say you better be honest
But you gotta be overly cautious
So you lie to yourself
You say "the high road is the longest"
So you go all the way down
And leave it all at the bottom
When you got nothing left to give
That's when you feel your body walking

Now I'm making a living
Baby, I'm out of prison
Flip the pillow to the cool side
Love, magic, feminism
I don't need superstition
Lying naked on the pool side

Baby I'm back
Baby I'm back, I'm back
Baby I'm back
Baby I'm back, I'm back, back, back, back

Do you want me to talk?
Do you wanna hear me go off?
Oh, we get so hard
We don't remember how to be soft
You get back to your soul
At the bottom of the sea
And you come back up
Unlock the cuffs
Run baby, run, you're free

Now I'm making a living
Crashing the algorithm
Flip the pillow to the cool side
Love, magic, feminism
Finally found religion
Laying naked on the poolside

Baby I'm back
Baby I'm back, I'm back
Baby I'm back
Baby I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I'm back

"'Prodigal Daughter' is about stripping away all the deep-seated, oppressive expectations society and religion can place on you, in order to find out what you really want out of your life," Lights shared in a statement about this song, "Musically, the song is dynamic and wild; beautifully gentle at times and aggressive at others, representing the journey. Ultimately this is a banger about finding yourself."
