Torn
Graham BLVD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, don't seem to care
What your heart is for
No, I don't know him anymore
There's nothin' where we used to lie
That's what's going 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
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
I 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
And that's what is goin' on
Nothin'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'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn

The lyrics of Graham BLVD's song "Torn" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and heartbreak. The singer starts by describing someone who they thought was a vibrant and thriving individual, but soon realizes that this person is not who they imagined them to be. The singer feels betrayed and hurt because this person seems indifferent to their emotions and the depth of their connection. The line "I don't know him anymore" signifies the loss of familiarity and understanding between the two.
The song depicts a relationship that has lost its intimacy and warmth. The absence of affection and meaningful conversation is highlighted with the lines "There's nothin' where we used to lie, Conversation has run dry." The singer feels torn apart and broken inside, as indicated by the repeated statement "Nothing's fine, I'm torn." They are left feeling abandoned, exposed, and vulnerable, represented by the line "Lying naked on the floor." The illusion of a beautiful and perfect relationship has shattered, leaving behind a harsh reality that can't be ignored.
The lyrics also highlight the regret and self-blame the singer feels. They acknowledge that they should have seen the truth and not been blinded by false ideals. The line "But you crawled beneath my veins and now, I don't care, I have no luck" suggests a feeling of being used and taken advantage of. Despite the pain, the singer finds it hard to let go completely, longing for the things they can no longer have or touch.

I thought I saw a man brought to life
I had the impression of witnessing a man coming alive
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He exuded warmth and carried himself with an air of dignity
He showed me what it was to cry
He demonstrated the true essence of sadness and tears
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
Unfortunately, you are not the person I deeply admired
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care
It appears that you lack awareness and concern
What your heart is for
You seem oblivious to the purpose and emotions of your own heart
No, I don't know him anymore
No, the person I once knew is no longer recognizable
There's nothin' where we used to lie
There is emptiness in the place where we used to be together
Conversation has run dry
Our discussions have turned dry and devoid of substance
That's what's going on
That is the current state of affairs
Nothing's fine, I'm torn
Everything is far from fine, I am deeply conflicted
I'm all out of faith
I no longer have any belief or trust left
This is how I feel, I'm cold and I am shamed
This is my overwhelming emotion, I feel emotionally detached and filled with shame
Lying naked on the floor
Metaphorically, I am vulnerable and exposed
Illusion never changed
The illusion I held onto never transformed or became reality
Into something real
Instead of becoming a genuine experience, it remained an illusion
Wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I am fully conscious and aware, and I can perceive that the once flawless sky is now damaged
You're a little late
You have arrived at a time when it is no longer relevant
I'm already torn
I am already deeply conflicted and torn apart
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Hence, it seems that the fortune teller's prediction was accurate
I should have seen just what was there
I should have recognized and acknowledged the truth of the situation
And not some holy light
Instead of being blinded by a spiritual or divine glow
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
Instead, you infiltrated my very being and now
I don't care, I have no luck
I no longer care and I lack any fortune or favor
I don't miss it all that much
I do not long for it as intensely as before
There's just so many things
There are simply too many things
That I can't touch, I'm torn
That I am unable to grasp or attain, I am deeply conflicted
Torn
Torn
There's nothing where he used to lie
There is emptiness in the place where he once existed
My inspiration has run dry
My source of inspiration has depleted
And that's what is goin' on
And that is the current situation
Nothin's right, I'm torn
Nothing is going well, I am deeply conflicted
Torn
Torn
I'm all out of faith
I no longer have any belief or trust left
This is how I feel
This is my overwhelming emotion
I'm cold and I am shamed
I feel emotionally detached and filled with shame
Bound and broken on the floor
Figuratively, I am restrained and shattered on the ground
You're a little late
You have arrived after the crucial moment has passed
I'm already torn
I am already deeply conflicted and torn apart
Torn
