Colton Dixon - Autopsy Lyrics






Tear apart, my heart and soul
My every inch, take it all
But I am more than skin and bones
I am
I am more

Looking inside
Through a different lense
Seeing my life
But missing the point of it
We're all one heart beat from heaven
We're all one heart beat from heaven

So tear apart, my heart and soul
My every inch, take it all
But I am more than skin and bones
I am
I am more

Life, it takes your breath away
And doesn't give it back
Even if you ask
Even if you plead
Get down on your knees
It's out of your control
Where you gonna go?

Life, it takes your breath away
And doesn't give it back
Even if you ask

So tear apart, my heart and soul
My every inch, take it all
But I am more than skin and bones
I am
I am more

Tear apart, my heart and soul
My every inch, take it all
But I am more than skin and bones
I am
I am more

    I am not religious... but I love Colton with my whole heart.... these songs of his can reach such a large audience... even outside of religion. I love him and what he does.... the respect I have for him is massive.

  2. D.... W....

    I love your music! My son, Joey 29, passed away on 10/19/19. I had him cremated 10/22/19 after his autopsy. His brother had a video of his life to your song 'The Other Side'. I bawled like a baby! Everyone cried!!! I listened to 'Autopsy' after the cremation. You are very talented and get to the heart & soul in each song! GOD BLESS YOU Colton!!! Deb

    Wow! Having my own heart operated on I understand life and possible death and if you aren't ready, its scary! I believe that we ALL are more than "skin and bones", we are also Spirit where God resides in us and IF we let Him, He will Change and Perfect us. **The style of music here reminds me of the rock group- Queen- with the harmony and high notes. Thank you Colton for once again surprising us with your deep insight of the inner man and sharing it with us. God Bless.-SH

    I can see this being like an amazing movie moment. It'd be dark, the spotlight suddenly turns on and in the spotlight is someone who was told that they couldn't do it. Whether it's a cancer survivor or just a singer who was told they weren't good enough. They step up to the microphone and the piano begins to play. The crowd is confused as to why that person is on stage until they start to sing.

  5. L.... F....

    Love your music!

  6. Y.... G....

    Que hermosa canción!!!
    No paro de escucharla ;D
    Sigue así Colton Dixon, y que Dios te guarde ;)

  7. T.... I....

    I am more than skin and bones. In Jesus Name Amen

  8. L.... H....

    This song is too good 😍😍

  9. M.... B....

    I love this song. It's deep. I had to listen to it a few times but this is what I've gotten out of it.
    Colton talks about the relentlessness of life, "taking your breath away," meaning at any moment you could die and you can't stop that. So in the moments he has here on earth, being a BORN AGAIN Christian, Colton writes lyrics to show how he's pleading to God to "tear apart his heart and soul", doing anything ("take it all because I am more than flesh and bone"), to make him the best version of himself. Without God's intervention and his word there to help us act like Christ and be like him, we'd all live a life with no meaning to it. In the flesh, our natural instincts, because of sin entering the world, makes us selfish and prideful.

  10. M.... B....

    The tune of the first two lines is the best thing ever, even though I don't LOVE this song. My grandma said that if his songs kept talking about death or autopsies, that his album would be gross. Lol!

  22. L.... M....

    The moment when you hear those high notes...XP

  26. C.... A....

    This song took me away with the melody, and the high notes. I feel like i floated into another atmosphere.
    This song was made so well Colton but for me its the second best song of the album. I think that "Down" is the best.
    Love Colton Dixon.

    C.... A....

    Caleb Arn Omg yes!! This song and Down are my favorites

  27. n.... s....

    I'm in love with this song. Thank you!! 💕💕

  28. g.... ....

    I dont understand the lyrics? Could someone explain what he is saying about?

    g.... ....

    Salocraft95 also forgot to mention the line on looking through a different lense, he means ever since he's found God and let him into his life, he has looked at his life differently been transformed into the person God wants him to be. and him saying we're one beat from heaven meaning life is precious God bless to you 💓

    +livimason434
    nice

    g.... ....

    livimason434 Well said :)

    g.... ....

    He's talking about how we are humans born in SIN and without Jesus' Power through us (the Holy Spirit) we aren't capable of love! (1st Corinthians 13) talks about love and how it is the most powerful of all from Jesus. We are humans and True love isn't something we can give with our "stone hard hearts" that need to be cracked open by Jesus! Think about the time when u were saved and you had that moment of realization of what Jesus did for you and you were changed into a NEW PERSON! Let Jesus tear away the old you, that was doomed to eternal death through sin, and create a new potential you through his power!

  39. F.... F....

    I can't find where is the song is says "Autopsy".

    F.... F....

    a song can be named metaphorically. it does not have to actually say the name of the song. it just represents it.

    F.... F....

    frenchwithalvin An autopsy is an examination of a death. It originally comes from the Greek word for eyewitness so you could also think of it as a personal observation.

  40. E.... M....
