Atlas
The Asbestos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams that I had to leave were Tokens got stolen
Not allowed to be spoken of
Carry the world in your shoulders, son
And I want to start again
And I want to start again
Breath and Embrace the world
Breath and Embrace the world
That Atlas carries for you
When the weights bends down your knees
When your smile fades to grinded teeth, now
A muted throat under a bathtub screams
Knuckles broke, less paint in walls
You wanted me to talk; your life is a play
My hands full of splinters but I build your stage
And I want to start again
And I want to start again
Breath and Embrace the world
That Atlas carries for you
Breath and Embrace the world
That Atlas carries for you
When the weights bends down your knees
When your smile fades to grinded teeth
When the weights bends down your knees
When your smile fades to grinded teeth
Here, I'll carry the world
Here, I'll carry the world
And here, I'll carry the world for you're my son
Sit back, I know you never wanted to hurt nobody... nobody
Sit back, I know you never wanted to hurt nobody
Breathe and embrace the world
That Atlas carries for you
When the weights bends down your knees
When your smile fades to grinded teeth
The song "Atlas" by The Asbestos appears to be a deeply introspective and self-reflective piece about the burdens and sacrifices of life. The first verse speaks to the idea that sometimes we don't choose the struggles we face in life, and we're forced to leave behind dreams that we cherished. These "tokens" that were stolen from us remain unspoken and unacknowledged, yet we still carry the weight of the world on our shoulders.
The chorus seems to offer a glimmer of hope by encouraging the listener to breath and embrace the world that Atlas (symbolic of the weight of the world) carries for us. The second verse continues to explore the idea of sacrifice, with vivid imagery of a muted throat screaming under a bathtub and knuckles broken while painting walls. The singer speaks of being a builder, crafting a stage for someone else's play with hands full of splinters.
Despite these struggles, the song concludes with the singer offering to carry the weight of the world, both for himself and for his son. The repeated refrain of "sit back, I know you never wanted to hurt nobody" speaks to a sense of forgiveness and empathy for those who may have unintentionally caused pain.
Overall, "Atlas" appears to be a poignant and emotionally resonant exploration of the struggles that we all face in living our lives.
