(Torn)

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, seem to care
What your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore

There's nothin' where we used to lie
The conversation has run dry
That's what's going on

Nothing's fine, I'm torn
(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

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
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

(Torn)
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel

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

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn

Uuh
Uuh-uuh-uuh
Uuh
Uuh-uuh-uuh
Uuh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia, originally written by Anne Preven, Scott Cutler, and Phil Thornalley, describe a heartbroken individual who has been let down and abandoned by someone they once trusted. At the beginning of the song, the singer describes a man who she thought had come back to life, someone who was warm and dignified, showing her what it was like to truly cry. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the man is not who she thought he was. He doesn't seem to know or care what his heart is for, and the singer no longer recognizes or knows him. The chorus reveals the depth of the singer's heartbreak as she sings, "I'm torn, I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel. I'm cold and I am chained, lying naked on the floor. Illusion never changed into something real."

As the song continues, the singer describes how everything has changed since the man left. The place where they used to lie together is empty and their conversations have run dry. She feels torn inside, admitting that she has no faith and is cold and shamed, lying naked on the floor. She can see that the perfect sky is torn, but it's too late for the man to come back, as she is already torn.

Overall, "Torn" is a song that captures the emotions of heartbreak and betrayal, as well as the feeling of being lost and alone. It portrays the sense of emptiness that comes after losing someone who was once an important part of your life. The song speaks to anyone who has been hurt by someone they loved and trusted, and can be seen as a poignant reminder to cherish the people in your life who truly matter.

Line by Line Meaning

I thought I saw a man brought to life
I thought I saw someone who was vibrant and lively

He was warm, he came around like
He was kind, he came close to me like a friend

He was dignified
He was respectable and had good character

He showed me what it was to cry
He helped me experience and express sorrow

Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You turned out to be someone different and disappointing

You don't seem to know, don't seem to care
You appear indifferent and clueless about what matters

What your heart is for
What your emotions and intentions are

No I don't know him anymore
I don't recognize the person you've become

There's nothin' where we used to lie
There's no emotional connection where we used to be close

Conversation has run dry
There's nothing left to talk about

That's what's going on
That's the current situation

Nothing's fine
Everything is bad

I'm torn
I'm emotionally conflicted

I'm all out of faith
I've lost all confidence and trust

This is how I feel
This is my emotional state

I'm cold and I am chained
I'm emotionally distant and trapped

Lying naked on the floor
Feeling exposed and vulnerable

Illusion never changed
My false beliefs were never corrected

Into something real
Into something genuine

I'm cold and I am shamed and bound
I feel guilty and trapped by my emotions

And broken on the floor
Feeling shattered and powerless

And I can see the perfect sky is torn
I can see that even beauty and perfection can be damaged

You're a little late
You've missed your chance

I'm already torn
I'm already emotionally damaged

So I guess the fortune teller's right
The predictions of someone predicting the future were correct

I should have seen just what was there
I should have realized the truth about my situation

And not some holy light
And not some idealistic notion

But you crawled beneath my veins
But you had a deep impact on me

And now I don't care
And now I'm apathetic

I have no luck
I have no good fortune

I don't miss it all that much
I don't yearn for it too strongly

There's just so many things
There's just too many things

That I can't touch
That I can't possess or change

I'm wide awake
I'm fully aware

And I can see the perfect sky is torn
I can see that even beauty and perfection can be damaged

You're a little late
You've missed your chance

I'm already torn
I'm already emotionally damaged
