Torn
Frank Spinath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pose in foam
Attracting no one
I'm on my own
I'm torn
Forming extinct species
Just like my own
Naked to the bone
I'm torn

As white turns black I know
It's light these pictures lack
A tree of life that has no leaves
I'm feeling grief beyond belief

As white turns black I know
It's light these pictures lack
A tree of life that has no leaves
I'm feeling grief beyond belief

I smile at wine and downers
A blade, the phone
I'll quit this all time low
I've sworn
My legs shape Vs and Ss
Amid the storm
From this sea of red
I'm born
Or torn ?
Or am I ?

As white turns black I know
It's light these pictures lack
A tree of life that has no leaves
I'm feeling grief beyond belief

As white turns black I know
It's light these pictures lack
A tree of life that has no leaves
I'm feeling grief beyond belief





If you love me you will find me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Torn by Frank Spinath/Martin Vorbrodt are deeply introspective and explore themes of isolation, meaninglessness, and desperation. The opening lines, "I pose in foam/Attracting no one/I'm on my own/I'm torn," evoke a sense of detachment and loneliness, painting a picture of someone who is lost and disconnected from society.


The following lines, "Forming extinct species/Just like my own/Naked to the bone/I'm torn," suggest a feeling of irrelevance and insignificance, as if the singer feels like they are disappearing or becoming extinct just like the world around them. The line "I'm torn" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's sense of internal conflict and emotional turmoil.


The chorus, with its repetition of the lines "As white turns black I know/It's light these pictures lack/A tree of life that has no leaves/I'm feeling grief beyond belief," further underscores the singer's despair and feelings of hopelessness. The reference to a "tree of life that has no leaves" suggests a lack of growth and vitality, adding to the overall sense of emptiness and loss.


In the final lines of the song, "If you love me you will find me," there is a glimmer of hope and a plea for connection. It's a bittersweet ending that leaves the listener with a sense of longing and uncertainty.
