Smashed
Suicide Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life living through an hourglass,
The sand is falling and there's not much left.
It's like living in a photograph, witness the rubble from the past.
And how it's so full of memories,
Now don't you wish you could turn that fucker over?
I want my life back, every grain of sand, I'll take it back!
F*ck living trapped in a photograph, entombed by fragile glass,
Let's smash this fucking shit!
It's my life and it's falling fast, no time for memories.
I say fuck the past!
Life living through an hourglass,
The sand is falling and there's not much left,
It's like living in a photograph, witness the rubble from the past.
And how it's so full of memories,
Now don't you wish you could turn that fucker over?
I want my life back, every grain of sand, I'll take it back!
I want my life back, smash, smash everything!
And if you want your life back smash, smash it with me.
(Smash, smash it with me)
Smash everything!
It's my life, I'll take it back
It's my life, I'll take it back
Life living through an hourglass,
The sand is falling and there's not much left.
It's like living in a photograph, witness the rubble from the past.
And how it's so full of memories,
Now don't you wish you could turn that fucker over?
I want my life back, every grain of sand, I'll take it back!
Let's take our lives back
Let's take our lives back
Let's take our lives back
Take your fucking life back!
It's my life, I'll take back
It's my life, I'll take back
Let's take our lives back smash, smash and be free!
Let's take our lives back smash, smash everything!
The lyrics of Suicide Silence's "Smashed" are about taking control of one's life and reclaiming it. The song makes use of metaphors, comparing life to an hourglass and a photograph. The sand in the hourglass represents time, which is passing quickly, and the photograph represents the memories of the past that can hold one back. The singer expresses the desire to take back every grain of sand from the hourglass, and to smash the photograph to be free of the past. He encourages others to do the same, urging them to take their lives back and smash everything that holds them back.
The phrase "Smash everything" serves as a metaphoric call to arms, for anyone who feels trapped in their current existence, to embark upon a message of self-empowerment. The song addresses the idea of living for the moment and doing whatever it takes to overcome the challenges that are holding us back. The message is to smash through the obstacles and take back the control of one’s life before it is too late, to not let themselves be limited or defined by their past.
