What does it mean?
"I've been praying to Scotty"
This is from song lyrics ("One by One" by Rationale). Who is this Scotty? Some saint? Or it's a common expression like pray to God? Just can't find anything on the internet.

Answer

Hi! This is a Star-Trek reference. If you look at the next line 'To beam me back to that ever glow' it's making reference to the role that a character named Scotty had. His role was often to teleport people and often teleporting is referred to as 'beaming'.
