Atlas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, why should I try and judge the things they say
That just won’t budge? I’m letting go
Oh and sheltered from the blind so you managed to be kind
But still enough to show me how to keep it together
[Verse 2]
When my heart’s crying out in vain
No matter who’s to blame, there’s still a ways to go
Oh, so if you ask me to believe
Your heart won’t follow you, it’s got a mind of its own
[Pre-Chorus]
When it says “Run” and the road gets rough
And you’re the one
Whose shoulders just ain’t wide enough
Whose shoulders shrug when they’ve had enough, oh
[Chorus]
I’d be the last to say, “Don’t follow your heart”
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man (Ah)
Than what you’ve known, what you’ve shown
Than that we know you understand (Ah)
[Verse 3]
Oh, it’s not the thing, if I were you
I would say all that I do to be half as strong, or still belong
Oh, if you should take the time
To look back at what you find your heart misadventures
[Pre-Chorus]
When it says “Run” and the road gets rough
And you’re the one
Whose shoulders just ain’t wide enough
Whose shoulders shrug when they’ve had enough, oh
[Chorus]
I’d be the last to say, “Don’t follow your heart”
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man (Ah)
Than what you’ve known, what you’ve shown
Than that we know you understand (Ah)
In fact, I’d never say, “Don’t follow your heart”
If I thought that’s what it’d take to make a man (Ah)
Ooh, from what you’ve known, all that you’ve been shown
Jesus, how I’d hope you’d understand (Ah)
[Chorus]
I’d be the last to say, “Don’t follow your heart”
But there’s more to what it takes to be a man
Oh, than what you’ve known, than what you’ve shown
Than what we know you understand (Oh)
In fact, I’d never say, “Don’t follow your heart”
If I thought that’s what it’d take to make a man (Ooh)
From what you’ve known and all that you’ve been shown
Jesus, how I’d hope you’d understand

Atlas Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The singer is saying he doesn’t want to get stuck judging other people’s opinions anymore, because nothing seems to change no matter what he thinks. He chooses to let things go. Someone has protected him from harsh situations and treated him kindly, but still taught him how to stay steady when life gets tough and emotions start piling up.
[Verse 2]
His feelings can be really painful, and sometimes it feels like no one listens. Instead of focusing on whose fault it is, he knows there’s still a long road ahead. He’s asked to trust someone, but the heart doesn’t always cooperate. It can pull a person in a different direction even when the mind wants to believe otherwise.
[Pre-Chorus]
There are moments when instincts say to run away because things get difficult. The person he’s talking about doesn’t always feel strong enough to carry everything. Their strength has limits, and when they’ve had enough, they simply can’t keep pretending they can hold up the weight anymore.
[Chorus]
He says he would never tell someone to ignore their feelings, because following your heart matters. Still, growing into a mature person requires more than just doing what feels right in the moment. It takes experience, responsibility, and awareness beyond whatever someone has seen or shown so far, and he hopes they begin to grasp that.
[Verse 3]
He talks about wishing he could be as strong as the person he’s addressing, or at least belong beside them. He suggests taking time to look back at past choices and emotional adventures, especially the ones that didn’t go as planned. There are lessons hidden there, and recognizing them can help someone move forward with more wisdom.
[Pre-Chorus]
When life becomes difficult and instincts scream to escape, the same struggle shows up again. The person still doesn’t feel like they have enough strength to handle everything. Their shoulders only carry so much, and once they’ve reached the limit, they step back because they simply can’t keep pushing anymore.
[Chorus]
He repeats that he’d never tell someone to ignore what their heart wants, but he also stresses that becoming a mature and grounded person takes more than emotions alone. It’s not just about past experiences or what someone has learned so far. He insists that true strength comes from understanding responsibility, growth, and self-awareness, and he hopes they truly understand that in their own time.
[Chorus]
Again he says following your heart matters, yet there’s still more involved in becoming a strong and dependable person. Feelings are important, but they’re not the whole story. Experience, learning from what life has shown, and real understanding all play a part. He hopes deeply that the person realizes this and grows from everything they’ve been through.
