Shattered
Aztek Trip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lose the ones that you love
Taken away but you're not to blame
What if we all fall down
It feels like it could have been
The first day of the last
Someday you'll see it, it'll all become clearer
Now nothings left that matters
Some day you'll believe it , it'll all become clearer
When the bow breaks and cradles rock shatters
I called up to God, here is my name
Please call me back
And if I run into you
Shake my hand and introduce
I called up to God, here is my name
Please call me back...
Sometimes I question my faith
But it never steers me wrong
You'd never seem to believe
In anything that makes sense
or anything at all
It sort of seems strange
Somehow we lost it and never regained
I called up to God, here is my name
Please call me back
And if I run into you
Shake my hand and introduce
I called up to God, here is my name
Please call me back...
