T o r n
I thought I saw a girl brought to life
She was warm, she came around like she was dignified
She showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldnt be that girl I adored
You dont seem to know, dont seem to care what your heart is for
But I dont know her anymore
Theres nothing where she used to lie
My conversation has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings fine Im torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn
So I guess the fortune tellers right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I dont care, I have no luck, I dont miss it all that much
Theres just so many things that I cant touch, Im torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn. torn.
Theres nothing where she used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings right, Im torn

emphasis: illusions never change into something real.
illusions are illusions.
real is real.
overpourings based on illusions are suffocating :(
Yes Mr/Miss you are right in your own way. Each one to his own, if there was no illusion the world wouldn't have been what it is today. illusions do change into real, it's just a matter of time, of course ones perception and his mental ratio of getting things from illusion to the real world. Creativity also plays a major role. Anyways, this is life we got to work towards what we think is life and not to forget the happening around us. Life is about how you feel? It's just complicated not suffocating as you say with all the ups and downs. God bless you.

you know,i've been listening to this song for so many years now. every time i've heard it- on my ipod, in my car, i've thought what brought this song about in natalie's head? when she says i'm torn, what is she talking about?? could be so many things, at various junctures of life, at so many turns, i've related to this song. today, "lying naked on the floor", broken- can't help but think of that poor delhi-girl.
