Hannah Trigwell 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, seem to care, what your heart is for,
But I don't know him anymore,
There's nothing where he used to lie,
My conversation has run dry,
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,
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light,
But you crawelled 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 insparation 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'm ashamed,
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 Hannah Trigwell's song "Open" describe the feelings and experiences of someone who has been betrayed by a loved one. In the first few lines, the person describes how they saw their partner as someone who was dignified and even brought to life, but that image has now turned into something completely different. The person says that the man they adored doesn't seem to know or care what his heart is for, and that there's nothing where he used to lie. The person's inspiration has run dry, and they feel torn apart.
The chorus of the song repeatedly says, "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." These lyrics perfectly convey the sense of betrayal and pain that the person is feeling. They feel completely exposed and vulnerable, as though they've been left with no protection from the world.
As the song continues, the person begins to accept their situation, saying that they should have seen what was there instead of what they thought was there. They acknowledge that they don't really care anymore, that they have no luck, and that there are so many things that they can't touch. Despite these feelings, though, the pain and sense of being torn apart doesn't go away.
Overall, "Open" is a powerful song that explores the complex emotions of betrayal, heartbreak, and vulnerability. It's a raw and honest look at what it's like to feel torn apart by the actions of someone you once loved.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought I saw a man brought to life,
I believed I saw a man come back to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified,
He appeared kind and respectable
He showed me what it was to cry,
He taught me the feeling of crying
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored.
You cannot be the man that I loved
You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for,
You appear to not understand or care about your emotions
But I don't know him anymore,
But I do not recognize him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie,
There is nothing where he once was
My conversation has run dry,
I have nothing left to say
That's what's goin' on. Nothing's fine I'm torn...
That is the situation. Everything is not okay, and I am distressed
I'm all out of faith,
I have no trust or belief left
This is how I feel,
This is my emotional state
I'm cold and I am shamed,
I am emotionally detached and embarrassed
Lying naked on the floor,
I feel vulnerable and exposed
Illusion never changed,
The fantasy never transformed
Into something real,
It never became tangible
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,
I am aware that everything I thought was perfect is in ruins
You're a little late, I'm already torn,
You came too late; I am already broken
So I guess the fortune teller's right,
The fortune teller was correct, I should have listened
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light,
I should have seen the truth and not a false hope
But you crawelled beneath my veins and now,
But you penetrated my inner self, and now...
I don't care, I have no luck, I don't miss it all that much,
I am apathetic, unlucky, and do not miss what I am lacking
There's just so many things,
There are so many things
That I can't touch I'm torn.
That I cannot attain or have; I am broken
Bound and broken on the floor,
Tied down and shattered on the ground
Torn.
Broken and in pieces

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on, nothings 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... Oh!..

"Torn" is a song written by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven and Phil Thornalley in 1993. It was first recorded that year by Danish singer Lis Sørensen, and again two years later by Cutler and Preven's American alternative rock band Ednaswap.
Most folk know the 1997 remake by Natalie Imbruglia
@robbier7337
Love Hannah's voice , would like to hear this with just her singing.
@monsterrguide9783
Stupid how people like Hannah aren't well known! She's better than most 'famous' singers out there!
@AynRandRevolution
I think this is one of the few covers that is better than the original, Its amazing that someone so youthful can so perfectly capture the sublime, yet succinct melancholy of this song. Turning it from a 90's pop-ish hit into a postmodern soulful masterpiece.
@brittdb98
0:34 That voice of Hannah omfg <3
@gludington2002
I only just found you on here a few months ago and I'd somehow missed this cover. This is the most hearth-wrenchingly beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life. Great job, keep it up.
@SaifBinAdhed
The harmonics this guy adds to the song is amazing
@afcfishwick
Her voice is angelic, her guitar playing is gorgeous and she is perfect.
