Shatterwall
Shatterwall Unveiled: A Tale of Broken Promises and Resilience
Lyrics
I'm all worn out
Expressing exhaustion or being depleted emotionally or physically.
I've no energy to cry
Feeling drained to the extent of lacking the energy to cry.
It was only one hour ago when you said goodbye
Recalling a recent goodbye, indicating a fresh emotional wound.
Come on and tell me why your answers always stop
Asking why the responses stop when questions are asked.
When the questions fly
Noticing a pattern where answers halt when questions arise.
The empty bottles fly
Repetition emphasizes the presence of flying empty bottles.
The empty bottles fly
-And they fall on shatterwall
Empty bottles are metaphorically flying and then falling on a wall, possibly representing the chaos and destruction of substance abuse.
They forgot he turned 16 the other day
Highlighting the neglect of someone's significant life event.
He watched his dad walk out without a word to say
Depicting the experience of a son watching his father leave without any communication.
From there he only fell apart
Indicating a downward spiral or a breaking point in the person's life.
There's not much left to tell
Suggesting there's little left to share or explain about the situation.
And so now he's just a statistic waiting for mail
Implies that the person is now reduced to being a statistic, waiting for some form of official communication or action.
The empty bottles fly
Empty bottles are metaphorically flying and then falling on a wall, possibly representing the chaos and destruction of substance abuse.
Th e empty bottles fly
-And they will fall on shatterwall
