Trading Yesterday - Shattered
Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
Fall into your sunlightThe future's open wide beyond believing
To know why hope dies
Losing what was found, a world so hollow
Suspended in a compromise
The silence of this sound is soon to follow
Somehow sundown
And finding answers
Is forgetting all of the questions we call home
Passing the graves of the unknown
As reason clouds my eyes, with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight
And the reflection of a lie will keep me waiting
Love gone for so long
This day's ending is the proof of time killing all the faith I know
Knowing that faith is all I hold
And Ive lost who I am
And I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong
Life
Less words
Carry on
But i know
All i know
Is that the ends beginning
Who I am from the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me go
And I will run
I will not be silenced
All this time spent in vain
Wasted years
Wasted gain
All is lost
Hope remains
And this war's not over
Theres a light
Theres the sun
Taking all the shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer
And Ive lost who I am
And I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong
Life
Less words
Carry on
But i know
All i know
Is that the ends beginning
Who I am from the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me go
And I will run
I will not be silenced
All this time spent in vain
Wasted years
Wasted gain
All is lost
Hope remains
And this war's not over
Theres a light
Theres the sun
Taking all the shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer all
Yes his love will conquer all
Yesterday I died, tommorrows bleeding
Fall into your sunlight
**I love this song and the lyrics. For me, this is a song about hope in love - it's about being broken and hurt, so much that you can't take the idea of accepting love again, which is a lonely, miserable place to be in. You don't want to accept love from anyone because love is what will hurt you. But then, there's a revelation. You find a love that you want to accept. It's going to hurt, allowing it into your heart, but it gives you hope, the light at the end of the tunnel, if you will. It's a painful process to accept it, but in the end, it's a healing process and it's what will repair your shattered heart. This song is about that realization and taking the 1st step into accepting love, and seeing the journey ahead and being willing to take it for love's sake.
To me, yes, that love means God's love, which will conquer and will heal all the shattered ones out there..
