Full lyrics of "Train Wreck"

Laying in the silence
Waiting for the sirens
Signs, any signs I'm alive still
I don't wanna lose it
But I'm not getting through this
Hey, should I pray, should I fray
To myself, to a god
To a saviour who can...

Unbreak the broken
Unsay these spoken words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions
I'm not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out

Underneath our bad blood
We still got a sanctum
Home, still at home, still at home, yeah
It's not too late to build it back
'Cause a one in a million chance
Is still a chance, still a chance
And I would take those odds

Unbreak the broken
Unsay these spoken words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions
I'm not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out

You can say what you like don't say I wouldn't die for it
I'm down on my knees and I need you to be my god
Be my help, be a saviour who can

Unbreak the broken
Unsay these reckless words
Find hope in the hopeless
Pull me out the train wreck
Unburn the ashes
Unchain the reactions
I'm not ready to die, not yet
Pull me out the train wreck
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out
Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out

Train wreck's review

According to Officiallydiva, everyone has been through pain, loneliness and darkness. Train Wreck is a cry for help, a tale of struggle, and an emotive reference to hitting rock bottom. Mainly piano keys and guitar strings with a hint of violin here and there, Arthur’s vulnerable, expressive and rich vocals add this raw quality to the track that makes it real and the kind of music people want to hear. You become a part of his journey, through the wreck on the road to recovery.

Moving and thought-provoking, the lyrics are the emotional essence of the song. The chorus is one that resounds and resonates, sending a powerful message: “Unbreak the broken/ Unsay these spoken words/ Find hope in the hopeless/ Pull me out the train wreck/ Unburn the ashes/ Unchain the reactions/ I’m not ready to die, not yet/ Pull me out the train wreck.”
