Torn
ASP & Chamber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care
What your heart is for
No, I don't know him anymore
There's nothin' where we used to lie
Conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel, I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
Wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
I don't care, I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel, I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
I'm already orn
There's nothing where he used to lie
Conversation has run dry
That's what is goin' on
Nothin's right, I'm torn
You're a little late




I'm already torn
I'm already torn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Torn” by ASP & Chamber express the singer's feelings of heartbreak, disillusionment, and being torn apart emotionally. The song begins with the singer recalling a man who seemed to come to life, giving the impression of being dignified and warm. However, as the relationship progresses, it becomes clear that this man is not who the singer thought he was. The man is described as being unaware and indifferent to the emotions and intentions of his own heart. The singer no longer recognizes or admires the man she once adored, and the connection they once had has faded away.


The chorus emphasizes the singer's inner turmoil and sense of being broken. She describes feeling out of faith and experiencing a cold, shameful feeling. The metaphor of lying naked on the floor implies vulnerability and a loss of identity. The illusion that once blurred reality has now dissipated, revealing the harsh truth. The perfect sky, symbolizing happiness and fulfillment, is torn, indicating that the singer's dreams and expectations have been shattered.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's regrets and realization that she should have seen the truth all along. The imagery of the man crawling beneath her veins suggests a deep emotional entanglement that the singer can no longer escape from. Despite acknowledging her lack of luck and not missing the relationship, there are still many things that she cannot let go of or move on from.


The repetition of the chorus reaffirms the singer's state of being torn and emphasizes the delayed realization of the person she's become. The ending lines convey the emptiness left behind by the relationship, emphasizing the absence of the man who once occupied a significant place in her life. The conversation has ended, and nothing feels right anymore.

Asp has always been a great artist - deep thoughts, lyrical perfection, creativity, versatility ... and I can't see any ending to these. Ich kann auch allen nur raten, ASP mit dem Kauf von Musik zu unterstützen. , Das haben sie verdient, sie schenken uns mit ihrem YT-Kanal ja schon unglaublich viel! Die vergriffene Humility zum Beispiel, auf der dieser Song zu finden ist, wurde ja neu veröffentlicht. Nichtsdestotrotz danke für den Upload, durch den ich den Song überhaupt kennengelernt habe! :-)

grandioses lied..... immer noch.... auch wenn die soundqualität leider nicht sooo gut ist... aber zum glück habe ich es ja selbst... auch wenn text und gesang natürlich auch wunderbar sind, bringt mir doch das dudelsack-finale am meisten gänsehaut...
