Shatter
Unveiling the Hidden Depths: Classic Jack's 'Shatter' Revealed
Lyrics
I am a book that no one knows
I am a mysterious and unread book, unknown to everyone.
I am a road you hope goes somewhere so take me slow
I am a path that you hope leads to a destination, so approach me with caution and patience.
I am a toy shelfed up alone
I am a neglected toy left on a shelf, isolated and unused.
I am a spirit with nobody or heaven to go
I am a soul without companionship or a clear direction in the afterlife.
I know I’m manicly depressed over dramatic always hating everything
Expressing awareness of being excessively emotional, overly dramatic, and harboring constant negativity.
Look in the mirror and then scrub to see it clearer just to see my worst enemy
Using self-reflection, particularly in a mirror, to confront one's flaws and acknowledge oneself as their own worst enemy.
I am a hand that no one holds
Feeling the absence of supportive connections, symbolized by an empty hand.
I am a artist with no canvas or clay left to mold
Identifying as an artist without the necessary tools or inspiration to create.
I am a chorus no one knows
Being a part of something greater (chorus) unrecognized or unacknowledged by others.
I am teacher with new lessons but materials
Assuming the role of a teacher with valuable lessons but lacking the required materials.
Old and battered
Describing oneself as old and worn, suggesting experience and hardship.
Worn and tattered
Emphasizing the wear and tear, both physically and emotionally.
Words of the wise for nobody
Sharing wisdom that goes unnoticed or unappreciated by others.
My legacy will be made of glass
Envisioning a fragile legacy made of glass, vulnerable to being shattered.
You can all take turns breaking me to the past
Inviting others to contribute to the destruction of the speaker's past, possibly through criticism or judgment.
I know I’m manicly depressed over dramatic always hating everything
Reiterating the acknowledgment of mental health struggles, negativity, and self-hatred.
Look in the mirror and then scrub to see it clearer just to see my worst enemy
Continuing the theme of self-examination and confronting inner demons through introspection.
Was inside me
Revealing that the worst enemy was within oneself all along.
I know I’m manicly depressed over dramatic always hating everything (Was inside me)
Repeating the acknowledgment of mental health struggles, negativity, and self-hatred, emphasizing the internal nature of these issues.
Look in the mirror and then scrub to see it clearer just to see my worst enemy
Continuing the theme of self-examination and confronting inner demons through introspection.
(Was inside me, what’s inside me, this thing?)
Pondering and questioning the nature of what is inside the speaker, possibly referring to internal struggles or conflicts.
