Torn
Need Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm drowned in your pool of wonders
Deaf machines stripping me naked
Sucking the juice right from my soul
Dreaming of wine and blood
Spearing my soul to quench the truth
Now I'm torn
Now I see that you tricked us all
Nothing left but fucked up pain
Listen Lord thy kingdom sucks
Finished up with a sack of guilt
Nothing to show for but empty deeds
Is it the end or am I just turning?
Into a monster possessed by yearning?
You trashed my body
Ruined my temple
Now it's just a worn-out dress
Give me back my voice so I can scream again
The lyrics of Need's song "Torn" suggest the singer's anguished and despairing state of mind. The opening line, "a fading moment of nothingness," implies that the singer is feeling disconnected from reality and possibly experiencing an existential crisis. The next line, "I'm drowned in your pool of wonders," could be interpreted as the singer being overwhelmed by a sense of awe and wonder, while also feeling trapped and suffocated. The third line, "deaf machines stripping me naked," is a metaphor that suggests the singer is being stripped of his or her identity, perhaps by society or by the demands of modern technology. The next line, "sucking the juice right from my soul," adds to this feeling of being drained and powerless.
The next verse starts off with the line, "dreaming of wine and blood," which could be interpreted as the singer's desire to escape reality through alcohol or other means. The line "spearing my soul to quench the truth" suggests that the singer is in search of some kind of truth or meaning, but is finding it hard to come by. The chorus of the song, "now I'm torn," represents the singer's inner turmoil and pain, while the lines "all these lies godly shame, now I see that you tricked us all" suggest that the singer has been disillusioned and betrayed by someone or something that he or she once believed in.
The final verse of the song, "finished up with a sack of guilt, nothing to show for but empty deeds, is it the end or am I just turning? into a monster possessed by yearning?" is introspective and emotional. The singer acknowledges a deep sense of guilt and regret, and questions whether he or she is turning into a monster or losing his or her sense of self. The final lines of the song, "you trashed my body, ruined my temple, now it's just a worn-out dress, give me back my voice so I can scream again," are a plea for redemption and a desire to reclaim the power and identity that has been lost.
