Divided
Tiamat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The marriage has gone to my head
The wedding trumpets are dead
Replaced by a static noise
So loud that I can't hear my own voice
Will those signs lead me out of here
Well, just take me somewhere
To the planes where angels sing
Trough the chime and the clattering

For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
There is a little you can do
When shadows fall I will desert you
Then that's what you will do

For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
And with a tear of morning dew
My temples born anew

Lead me inside
Lead me inside
Lead me inside out of the cold
Let me inside
Feel me inside
When the seed is sown
Our love's dead by dawn

And as the day begins
The sun is soothing my skin
And I am divided
I am divided
For love

I have to say
That all of this time
I waited for someone like you
Your are my dream




Your are my dream
Your are my dream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tiamat's song "Divided" showcase the pain, confusion, and uncertainty of a failed relationship. The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer's marriage has ended badly, and now the wedding trumpets have become mere static noise. The singer is in search of a way out of this situation, somewhere they can hear the angels sing and escape from the chaos.


As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that the truth might hurt them and that there may be little they can do to change the situation. The phrase "when shadows fall, I will desert you" seems to suggest that the singer has lost faith in their partner and is contemplating leaving them altogether.


The song then takes a somber turn as the singer pleads to be led inside and out of the cold. They want to be felt and loved once again, but the reality is that their love is now "dead by dawn." By the end of the song, the singer admits that they have waited for someone like their partner for a long time and they were their dream, but unfortunately, in the end, they were divided.
