So I always interpreted it to mean she was kind of 'praying' all night like 'god just let me dance and have fun' but it's not that easy. If only she could dance on a single prayer, if only she could be strong without permission from men. It's a feminist anthem after all But hey I could be totally wrong lol I get that this is the meaning of the song, but i still dont get the meaning of dancing on a single prayer like the metaphore isnt metaphoring chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2011 I know that it's "prayer" at the end. But it made zero sense to me. As a non-native English speaker, I didn't really understand what meaning that sentence has (what "on a single prayer" meant, that is, saying like "OMG f*ck those men" only once and having your problem disappear just like that, and being able to move on with your life; in the song being able to dance freely in a club or simply being a free woman). And Google didn't help me at all with that phrase. But thanks to @Charmz and @Helxig I think now I understand, thank you After all those years, ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
