Atlas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ik heb zand in mijn zakken en wind in mijn haar
De hoop die ik had, hangt goed aan elkaar
Ik moet bergen verzetten, mijn jas is er zwaar van
Ik had water gevangen in de kom van mijn hand
Ik bracht het naar zee, ik zwom terug naar land
Tot stukje voor stukje de kustlijn verandert
[Chorus]
Jij zei dat het klaar was, noemde mij je atlas
Sorry dat ik jou nog op handen draag
Jij doet of het niks was, ik gaf te veel, maar fu*k dat
God, je bent complex, maar dat heb ik graag
Dus ik verkoop mijn spullen, bouw huizen van karton
De prijs die ik betaal om te denken dat het kon
Ik wist dat het zwaar was, niet dat het niet waar was
Je wereld op mijn schouders, nooit andersom
Nooit andersom
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
Nooit andersom
(Ah, ah)
[Verse 2]
Jij had een blok aan je been, je wist niet dat ik er was
Trok mij door de modder, daarna
Vroeg ik wat er op je borst lag, is daar nog plaats voor mij?
Ik wist dat het goed ging komen, toen was het moment voorbij
[Chorus]
Jij zei dat het klaar was, noemde mij je atlas
Sorry dat ik jou nog op handen draag
Jij doet of het niks was, ik gaf te veel, maar fu*k dat
God, je bent complex, maar dat heb ik graag
Dus ik verkoop mijn spullen, bouw huizen van karton
De prijs die ik betaal om te denken dat het kon
Ik wist dat het zwaar was, niet dat het niet waar was
Je wereld op mijn schouders, nooit andersom
Nooit andersom
[Bridge]
Bekeken wou ik dat ik onze weken ritueel in brand kon steken
Te veel gevraagd?
Achteraf bekeken waren het labiele weken, ik zou beide benen breken
Als jij het vraagt
[Chorus]
Maar jij zei dat het klaar was, noemde mij je atlas
Sorry dat ik jou nog op handen draag
Jij doet of het niks was, ik gaf te veel, maar fu*k dat
God, je bent complex, maar dat heb ik graag
Dus ik verkoop mijn spullen, bouw huizen van karton
De prijs die ik betaal om te denken dat het kon
Ik wist dat het zwaar was, niet dat het niet waar was
Je wereld op mijn schouders, nooit andersom
Nooit andersom

Atlas Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
The singer describes feeling weighed down, both physically and emotionally. The “sand in my pockets and wind in my hair” suggest a sense of carrying burdens while still trying to maintain hope. The “mountains to move” symbolize challenges the singer faces, feeling burdened by them. The metaphor of catching water in their hand and bringing it to the sea shows the futility of their efforts. Over time, everything is changing, and they seem to realize that things are shifting, but they’re still struggling.
[Chorus]
In this part, the singer reflects on how their partner ended the relationship, calling them their “atlas,” which suggests the singer was carrying the weight of their world. Despite the breakup, the singer still feels responsible, continuing to support their partner even though it’s one-sided. They acknowledge giving too much but feel that the complexity of their partner is something they still desire. The line about selling belongings and building cardboard houses shows the sacrifices made, as the singer tried to make the relationship work, despite the emotional toll.
[Post-Chorus]
This simple line emphasizes the one-sidedness of the relationship. “Never the other way around” means that the singer always carried the weight of the relationship, but their partner never did in return.
[Verse 2]
The singer describes their partner as a burden, referring to them as having a “block on their leg” and dragging the singer through difficult times. The singer tried to make things work, even asking if there was still space for them in their partner’s life. However, the realization comes that things weren’t going to work out, and the moment to make things right has already passed.
[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the idea that the partner ended things but still has a hold over the singer, calling them their “atlas.” The singer admits to giving too much and being left with nothing in return, but they still desire the complexity of their partner. The imagery of selling possessions and building “cardboard houses” highlights the emotional cost of trying to make the relationship work. Despite knowing it was difficult, the singer acknowledges they carried the weight of the relationship, but it was never shared by the partner.
[Bridge]
In this part, the singer reflects on their past relationship and wishes they could erase the memories of the unstable weeks they spent together. They even joke about how they would break their legs for the partner if asked, showing how far they would go, even in unhealthy situations.
[Chorus]
This final chorus repeats the earlier sentiments: the singer is still holding onto the emotional burden despite the relationship ending. They reflect on the sacrifices made, continuing to support their partner even when it was too much for them. The weight was always on the singer’s shoulders, and they acknowledge that the relationship was never balanced.
