Torn
Eloise Freud 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 that I adored
You don't seem to know, or seem to care what your heart is for
I don′t know him anymore
Our conversation has run dry
That′s what′s goin' 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
I′m 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
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
Torn
There′s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what′s goin' on
Nothing′s right, 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
I′m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I′m cold and I am ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I′m already torn
Torn
Oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
In Eloise Freud's song Torn, the singer reflects on a relationship that has fallen apart. She begins by describing a man who had once brought her to life, a man who had made her feel dignified and warm. But now, things have changed. The man she once thought was so great has proven not to be worthy of her admiration. He seems to have lost his passion and his soul, not knowing what his heart is for. The conversation has grown stale, and she feels as if she no longer knows him.
The singer feels torn between her hopes and her reality of the situation. She has lost faith in the relationship and feels cold and ashamed. She gives a vivid image of lying naked on the floor, stripped of everything she thought was real. The illusion of their love has never been so apparent, leaving her feeling exposed and vulnerable. She is awake to the fact that everything she thought was perfect has been torn apart.
In the end, the singer comes to terms with the fact that she is torn about the relationship. She recognizes that nothing is right anymore, acknowledging the pain she is going through. She emphasizes that she is all out of faith, feeling cold, and ashamed. The perfect sky, so symbolic of their love, has been torn apart, and she cannot put it back together.
