Vazquez Sounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, has it's ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run run run I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Know you know you can know
The song "Skyscraper" by Vazquez Sounds is a powerful ballad about rising from the ashes after experiencing pain and hardship. The opening lines set the scene with the skies crying and the singer catching teardrops in their hands, emphasizing the sadness and distress of the moment. The lyrics then dive into the main theme of the song, which is about not allowing someone to make the singer feel like there is nothing left of them. The repeated line "you can take everything I have / you can break everything I am / like I'm made of glass / like I'm made of paper" paints a picture of vulnerability and fragility, but the singer asserts their strength by proclaiming that they will rise from the ground like a skyscraper.
The second verse continues the theme of overcoming adversity, with the singer waking up from the smoke and standing on their feet despite the broken windows. The line "would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed" suggests that the singer has been hurt by someone else and that the person who caused the pain may be reveling in their suffering. The chorus repeats, with the singer asserting their resilience and determination to rise above the pain.
All in all, "Skyscraper" is a song that speaks to the human experience of enduring hardship and coming out stronger on the other side. The imagery of a skyscraper rising high above the ground symbolizes the singer's ability to stand tall and weather the storms of life.

Skies are crying, I am watching
I am witnessing the rain falling from the sky
Catching teardrops in my hands
I am capturing the raindrops like they are tears
Only silence, has it's ending, like we never had a chance.
There is a quietness that will eventually come to an end, it is as if we were never given an opportunity in the first place.
Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me?
Why must you make me feel so invalidated and worthless?
You can take everything I have
You have the ability to strip me of all my possessions
You can break everything I am
You can shatter my identity
Like I'm made of glass
I am extremely fragile, like a piece of glass
Like I'm made of paper
I am incredibly delicate and easy to rip apart, like a sheet of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
Attempt to destroy me
I will be rising from the ground
I will overcome your oppression and emerge victorious
As the smoke clears
Once the chaos has ended and the dust settles
I awaken and untangle you from me
I will free myself from your grasp and break away
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
Does it bring you joy to see me in pain?
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet
Although I remain wounded and scarred, I am still standing
Go run run run I'm gonna stay right here
You can flee, but I won't budge. I will hold my ground
Watch you disappear yeah
I will watch you disappear from my life
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
Flee if you must, you have a long way to fall
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
I am soaring high above you, closer to the heavens
Ohh

Llora el cielo, y en mis manos ves mis lagrimas caer
el silencio me hace daño se acabo nuestro querer
la tristeza me castiga, se apropia de mi ser,
Puedes llevarte mi ilución, romperme todo el corazón
como un cristal que se cae al suelo
pero te juro que al final, sola me voy a levantar
como un rascacielo, como un rascacielo..
Poco a poco con el tiempo voy a olvidarme de ti
no te vas a dar cuenta que estoy sangrando aquí.
mis ventanas se han quebrado mas no me voy a rendir
Puedes llevarte mi ilucion, rompreme todo el corazon
como un cristal que se cae al suelo
pero te juro que al final, sola me voy a levantar
como un rascacielo, como un rascacielo..
Vete a volar yo estoy mejor así
muy lejos de ti
yeah
no vuelvas mas, que ya lo decidí
sin tu recuerdo aprenderé a vivir
Puedes llevarte mi ilución, rompreme todo el corazon
como un cristal que se cae al suelo , ohhh
pero te juro que al final, sola me voy a levantar
como un rascacielo, como un rascacielo..
como un rascacielo, como un rascacielo
como un rascacielo.

Kudos to the parents of these three for letting them develop and share their talents. The world is a better place as a result. I can honestly listen to this cover over and over and never grow tired of it, and no matter how many times I do, I always get chills when Angie reaches high at 3:04. This trio had me at Rolling in the Deep, like millions of others all over the world. Here's to continued success! ❤ #chihuahua
