Shatter
Shatter: A Soul's Reflection on Love's Fragility
Lyrics
I've been waiting for the coming of that day
I have been anticipating the arrival of a specific day
When poets lose their muse and dreamers fade away
Referring to a time when poets lose inspiration and dreamers lose their aspirations
Oh and I'll be one of them, weighing all we went through
The speaker acknowledges being part of those affected, reflecting on shared experiences
And I'll decide who is this man,' when I live without you
The speaker contemplates defining their identity when living without the mentioned person
Oh, and I don't want to be floating when you're gone
Expressing a reluctance to be adrift or aimless after the person's departure
I can be hard like flint
The speaker acknowledges a tough and unyielding aspect of their personality
But will it matter when I'm thrown
Raising a question about the relevance of this hardness when facing a significant change
And I shatter when you're the only one
Describing vulnerability, indicating a tendency to break when the person is absent
Will I shatter
Pondering the possibility of shattering without the person's presence
I am wondering can I lay down my sword
Contemplating whether the speaker can relinquish their defenses or aggression
When life pulls rank on me and I can't forgive my heart
Facing challenges in forgiving oneself when life becomes difficult
Oh, I know what I should do and I know what I hide
Acknowledging awareness of what needs to be done and what emotions are hidden
Oh, but God only knows what I'll become when you're not by my side
Uncertain about the speaker's transformation in the absence of the mentioned person
Oh, and I don't want to be floating when you're gone
Expressing a desire not to feel adrift when the person is no longer present
I can be hard like flint!
Reiterating the speaker's toughness or resilience
But will it matter when I'm thrown
Raising a question about the significance of this toughness when facing a significant change
And I shatter when you're the only one
Repeating the theme of vulnerability and potential emotional breakdown in the person's absence
Will I shatter
Pondering the likelihood of shattering without the person's presence
Will I learn to love again, will I be released
Raising questions about the ability to love again and finding emotional freedom
As the years come down between us will I find my peace
Contemplating finding peace as time passes and separates the speaker from the person
Oh, and I don't want to be floating when you're gone
Expressing a desire not to feel adrift when the person is no longer present
I can be hard like flint!
Reiterating the speaker's toughness or resilience
But will it matter when I'm thrown
Raising a question about the significance of this toughness when facing a significant change
And I shatter when you're the only one
Repeating the theme of vulnerability and potential emotional breakdown in the person's absence
Oh, I can be hard like flint, I can be hard like flint
Highlighting the speaker's hardness, possibly emphasizing its persistence
But will it matter when you're gone
Raising a question about the relevance of the toughness when the person is gone
And I shatter when you're gone
Repeating the idea of shattering in the absence of the person
