Fragments
Sister Shotgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll pray that our eyes one day meet again
Waiting and watching you walk away
I'd give it all just to make you stay.
I can't breathe. Just want to catch self as I fall again
I can't see, your halo is blinding me
The secrets that we hold
Weigh more on my mind
The love that wasn't told
Is breaking the ties that bind
I'll stay here motionless silently,
Still in the pain that envelops me
Screaming and trying to find my strength
But I lost all feeling the day you left
The lyrics to Sister Shotgun's song "Fragments" describe the emotions and pain that arise after losing someone you deeply care about. The first two lines illustrate the hope that the singer holds onto for a possible reunion with the person they have lost. The longing for this reunion and the regret of watching them walk away is expressed in the third and fourth line. The lines "I can't breathe", "Just want to catch self as I fall again", and "I can't see, your halo is blinding me" portray the singer's feelings of helplessness and the overwhelming sense of loss that they experience.
The second stanza illustrates how the weight of the secrets and unexpressed love that they kept has been weighing on the singer. These secrets and love were not shared, causing a strain on their relationship. The final few lines "I'll stay here motionless silently, Still in the pain that envelops me, Screaming and trying to find my strength, But I lost all feeling the day you left" speaks of the singer's struggle to come to terms with their loss, the pain consuming them.

And when the dawn breaks upon my skin
As the morning light touches me, I hope to see you again one day.
I'll pray that our eyes one day meet again
I'll keep hoping that we cross paths and reconnect once more.
Waiting and watching you walk away
I watched you leave, and it hurt me deeply.
I'd give it all just to make you stay.
I'd do anything to make you stay and not leave me alone.
I can't breathe. Just want to catch self as I fall again
I'm suffocating from the thoughts of losing you again.
I can't see, your halo is blinding me
Your image is too bright and overwhelming for me to handle.
The secrets that we hold
The things we keep hidden from others and ourselves.
Weigh more on my mind
They have a heavier impact on my thoughts and emotions.
The love that wasn't told
The affection that wasn't expressed or acknowledged.
Is breaking the ties that bind
It's causing our relationship to break apart and fall apart.
I'll stay here motionless silently,
I'll remain still and quiet, processing the pain inside me.
Still in the pain that envelops me
The agony continues to surround me and consume my being.
Screaming and trying to find my strength
I'm letting out my anguish and searching for the courage to move on.
But I lost all feeling the day you left
I'm numb and empty after you left, unable to feel anything else.
