Torn Self
Dead To Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every one of us is lost against ourselves,
And pushing through the constant struggle of forward thought
This thing we call humanity
Has brought us down, and has us caught
Is this what I've become? A callous, uncaring soul
That allows the will of flesh to dominate and control
This is my counter attack
Starve the self, and empower the soul
This path I chose, once again made whole
Torn between self and soul
With first step forward
I've become a new creation
Free from self and thinking clearly
My soul chokes the last impurities from my flesh




And I'm given a second chance... but this time
I let myself die

Overall Meaning

The song "Torn Self in 2-3" by Dead To Fall is a contemplative reflection on the struggle that every human being faces from within themselves. The lyrics suggest that we are constantly fighting against our own inner demons in order to move forward in life. The first two lines, "Every one of us is lost against ourselves, and pushing through the constant struggle of forward thought," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer suggests that we are all lost within ourselves, and that the act of moving forward requires an ongoing battle against our own minds.


The song goes on to suggest that as humans, we are caught in a cycle of self-destruction. The singer implies that our very humanity has brought us down, and that we are at the mercy of our own fleshly desires. However, rather than succumbing to this cycle, the singer advocates for a "counter-attack" against the self. He suggests that we must "starve the self," and empower our souls in order to move beyond our own limitations.


As the song progresses, the singer declares that he has made the choice to take this path, and has become a "new creation" as a result. He suggests that he has torn himself between his self and his soul, and has come out on the other side free from impurities. He declares that he has been given a "second chance," and this time he is willing to let himself die in order to truly become free.


Overall, the song "Torn Self in 2-3" is a thought-provoking exploration of the battle that every human being faces within themselves. It suggests that in order to truly move forward, we must be willing to confront our own inner demons and empower our souls to overcome the limitations of the flesh.


Line by Line Meaning

Every one of us is lost against ourselves,
Every individual encounters difficulties in dealing with their own mind


And pushing through the constant struggle of forward thought
And trying to overcome the struggle of racing thoughts


This thing we call humanity
Humanity; an abstract concept which comprises different facets of human existence


Has brought us down, and has us caught
Has caused us to fall and become trapped


Is this what I've become? A callous, uncaring soul
Is this the individual I have transformed into? One without compassion or empathy


That allows the will of flesh to dominate and control
One whereby physical desires overpower and manipulate the person


This is my counter attack
This is my retaliation


Starve the self, and empower the soul
Subdue selfishness and strengthen the soul


This path I chose, once again made whole
The route elected has been re-established


Torn between self and soul
Dilemma between personal interest and faith


With first step forward
With the initial move forward


I've become a new creation
I've transformed into an entirely new person


Free from self and thinking clearly
Liberated from self-centeredness and thinking coherently


My soul chokes the last impurities from my flesh
My spirit suffocates the last remains of filth from my physical body


And I'm given a second chance... but this time
I've been granted another opportunity...however,


I let myself die
I allowed myself to die

Dude dead to fall was WIDELY under appreciated as a band. That last album I think the singer knew that would be his last and just didn’t give a fuck which was cool but also sad. Because I feel like they could have had the longevity darkest hour, between the buried and me had. Was deff my fav
