Billboard described the song as a “disco-infused dance track where the star sings about the internal struggle of wanting to leave, while also wanting to stay with her lover.” The song was included on Vogue’s “34 Best Songs of 2019” list, where Christian Allaire stated that the song “earworms its way into [his] head at least once a day”.
In a press release, Ava Max said that the song “explores the struggle” between love and hate, which she called “two of the strongest emotions we feel in relationships.”
Torn
Ava Max Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, but then you give me fireworks
I, I think of leaving ni-ni-night and day
But, but then you always find the words
You're contagious, baby
Love when you love me, hate me
The way you rock, ro-ro-rock my body lately
I wish the lows were higher
Wish I could stop, stop, stop to save me
Oh, I wanna stay, wanna walk out the door
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
I can't get enough, can't take anymore
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
You dry my tears and make it pour
You show me love and give me war
I can't get enough, can't take anymore
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
I, I always wanna run, run, run away
But, but then I crawl into your arms
It, it's like we're starting drama every day
But, but you know that's my favorite part
You're contagious, baby
Love when you love me, hate me
The way you rock, ro-ro-rock my body lately
You set the rain on fire
I wish the lows were higher
Wish I could stop, stop, stop to save me
Oh, I wanna stay, wanna walk out the door
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
I can't get enough, can't take anymore
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
You dry my tears and make it pour
You show me love and give me war
I can't get enough, can't take anymore
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
(Torn, baby, I'm torn, torn)
(Torn, torn, baby, I'm torn, torn)
Torn from the pages out of our book
A beautiful tragedy
I'm torn in-between Heaven and Hell
'Cause, baby, when I'm with you
I just don't know where I'd rather be
Oh, I wanna stay, wanna walk out the door
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn (oh)
I can't get enough, can't take anymore
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
You dry my tears and make it pour (oh yeah)
You show me love and give me war
I can't get enough, can't take anymore (oh whoa)
Oh no, right now, baby, I'm torn
In "Torn," the singer Ava Max muses on her conflicting emotions about her relationship with her love interest. The lyrics suggest that she is torn between leaving him and staying with him. Ava sings how he takes all her light away but then gives her fireworks. Meaning he is capable of making her feel both joy and despair, and she finds it difficult to leave him despite the ups and downs. That she wants to run away every day but ultimately crawls back into his arms. The lyrics highlight their relationship's intensity, as it seems like they start drama every day, but that is Ava's favorite part.
Throughout the song, Ava describes how her partner affects her. He is contagious, and she loves it when he loves her or hates her. Her partner affects her at an emotional level and physically as he rocks her body, which Ava enjoys. She wishes the lows in their relationship were higher and that she could stop, stop, stop to save herself from the turmoil. The chorus repeats how torn Ava is between wanting to stay and wanting to leave, as her love interest "dries her tears and makes it pour" and shows her both love and war.
Overall, "Torn" is a song that illustrates the tumultuous nature of Ava's relationship with her love interest. She is paralyzed by the depth of her feelings and the conflict it creates within her. She desires to leave, but at the same time, she is drawn to him like a moth to a flame.

I am trying to learn torn so am i and sweet but psycho the one I already know
@crummybunny974
I copy n paste this everywhere❤
And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
People: okay please stay this is your place❤
Demon: okay
People: *leaves*
Demon: *Goes with them anyway*
Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior
I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now
Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! Be genuine when praying this
Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT
God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes
Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God

Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
You serve the devil when you
Lie
Hate
Blasphemy
Disobey
Lazy
Gossip
Gluttony
Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
Hate
And unforgivness
And cussing murder and more
And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
God is holy and righteous God is love
So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤
Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
