Atoms
s.e.t Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you left me down in a crowded room
And there ain't no way of compromise
And no one's yet to come
But the past is done
The present crash into me
And make me leave your door
So you came back out into the Monday sun
Crying, searching for your own glow
And see the past is done
The present crash into me
And make me leave your door
But I want more than your body
And I want more than your soul
And if we can't find a way home
We'll build a new one
A new one
What have I done to my atoms?
I've crashed down my atoms
Just dusty records left inside of you
Can't you see that I'm no good?
So the reason why it's here
Deep inside your chest
Hide and take shelter for a while
And see the past is done
The present crash into me
And make me leave your door
But I don't care about your body
And I don't care about your soul
And if we can't find a way home
We'll build a new one
A new one
What have I done to my atoms?
I've crashed down my atoms
Just dusty records left inside of you
Of you
When the day will come for me
I promise you that I will see
Just see the truth you've left behind
To live a life of shining lights
When the day will come for me
I promise you that I will see
Just see the truth you've left behind
To live a life of shining lights
What have I done to my atoms?
I've crashed down my atoms




Just dusty records left inside of you
Can't you see that I'm no good?

Line by Line Meaning

So you left me down in a crowded room
You abandoned me in a place full of people


And there ain't no way of compromise
There is no possibility of finding a middle ground


And no one's yet to come
No one has arrived yet


But the past is done
However, the past is over


The present crash into me
The current moment overwhelms me


And make me leave your door
And compels me to walk away from your presence


So you came back out into the Monday sun
So you returned, facing the bright sunshine of a new week


Crying, searching for your own glow
Crying and seeking your own inner brilliance


And see the past is done
And realize that the past is finished


The present crash into me
The present moment overwhelms me


And make me leave your door
And forces me to depart from your presence


But I want more than your body
But I desire more than just a physical connection


And I want more than your soul
And I crave more than just a spiritual bond


And if we can't find a way home
And if we cannot find our path together


We'll build a new one
We will construct a fresh journey


What have I done to my atoms?
How have I affected the core of my being?


I've crashed down my atoms
I have shattered and destroyed my fundamental essence


Just dusty records left inside of you
Only remnants of the past remain within you


Can't you see that I'm no good?
Don't you realize that I am not worth it?


So the reason why it's here
Therefore, the purpose for its existence


Deep inside your chest
Deep within your heart


Hide and take shelter for a while
Hide and seek refuge temporarily


But I don't care about your body
Yet I am not concerned with your physical form


And I don't care about your soul
And I am indifferent to your inner spirit


And if we can't find a way home
And if we cannot find our path together


We'll build a new one
We will construct a fresh journey


What have I done to my atoms?
How have I affected the core of my being?


I've crashed down my atoms
I have shattered and destroyed my fundamental essence


Just dusty records left inside of you
Only remnants of the past remain within you


When the day will come for me
When my time finally arrives


I promise you that I will see
I assure you that I will perceive


Just see the truth you've left behind
Simply acknowledge the reality you have abandoned


To live a life of shining lights
To exist in a world full of brightness and radiance


What have I done to my atoms?
How have I affected the core of my being?


I've crashed down my atoms
I have shattered and destroyed my fundamental essence


Just dusty records left inside of you
Only remnants of the past remain within you


Can't you see that I'm no good?
Don't you realize that I am not worth it?
