Torn Apart
Snoop Lion feat. Rita Ora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard him speak but then a saw his face
I knew we was the one because I dreamt this day
I was such a beginner on this thing called love
And now he's going away and now I'm torn apart, so torn apart

You're one of them, you see me sway
You pullin' triggers let you slide another day
Say goodbye to the one got away

Her lips for the very first thing that I saw
She threw like an angel and that made want her more
My reputation says I'm there from now
And now she's going away and now I'm so torn apart, so torn apart

You're one of them, you see me sway
You pullin' triggers let you slide another day
Say goodbye to the one got away

Never let you get away
Shouldn't have let you got away
Get away, got away
Gotta find another way
Never let 'em get away
Gotta find a way to stay
Never let 'em get away
Never let 'em get away

You never let her go
You never let her go
Feel sorry

You see me?
You hear me?

You're one of them, you see me sway




You pullin' triggers let you slide another day
Say goodbye to the one got away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Snoop Lion's song "Torn Apart" featuring Rita Ora describes the pain felt by two individuals who have fallen in love, but circumstances have led to their separation. The first verse talks about the dream the woman had about meeting the man and how she knew he was the one when she finally saw him. However, despite being a beginner when it comes to love, he is leaving her, leaving her feeling torn apart. The second verse talks about how the man was immediately drawn to the woman when he first saw her. He wanted her even more when he saw her throw like an angel. But despite his reputation and seemingly being there for her, she is also leaving him, leaving him feeling the same.


The chorus talks about how they are both "torn apart" from the separation and how they have to say goodbye to the one who got away. The bridge is a plea to never let someone get away again and to find a way to stay. The repetition of "never let 'em get away" is a reminder to cherish the people who come into our lives and not take them for granted.

@naomilezpona1336

Love this change Snoop is in. His old rap is SO awesome coming from someone who actually grew up with him and now as I am growing, Snoop is growing with me. If the haters stop and look at WHY he made this CD and the REAL meaning behind it, then you will love it because he is sending a great message in all his new songs on this CD.
