In A Moment
Simplified Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shake this empty feeling.
Go ahead and throw away
Everything with meaning.
Don't know how I got this way
Got to look away so ashamed.
There's so much talk around
Got to be some way he could be someone
And he don't know how it got this way
Something's got to change or he's going to break
In a moment life can let you down
In a moment life can turn around
Turn around
Her head against the wall
She's got no one left to call
There's a bottle on the table
She tries but she's unable
Don't know how it got this way
Got to look away so ashamed
And she don't know how it got this way
She's just holding on
In a moment life can let you down
In a moment life can turn around
In a moment life can let you down
In a moment life can turn around
Turn around
She don't know where to go
She's heading down
Yeah
It takes a life to love this life
And turn it around
In a moment life can let you down
In a moment life can turn around
In a moment life can let you down
In a moment life can turn around
Turn around Turn around
The lyrics of Simplified's song In A Moment talk about the fragility of life and how quickly things can change. The song speaks about two individuals who are in a tough place in their lives and how they have been let down by life. In the first verse, the singer talks about their struggle with an empty feeling that they cannot shake off. They have reached a point where they feel like throwing away everything they hold dear. The feeling of shame is so intense that they cannot even look in the mirror.
The second verse talks about a woman who also seems to be struggling with life. She has hit rock bottom and has no one to turn to. Her only solace is a bottle of alcohol. The song talks about how both these individuals are lost and do not know how they got to this point. Both of them are holding on, hoping that something will change, and life will turn around for them. The chorus of the song talks about how life can turn around in a moment, and everything can change for the better.
