About This Track
'Sprinter' by Torres is an alternative track on the album 'Sprinter' from 2015. The lyrics move between religious counsel, a personal reckoning, and a fall from faith into anger and self-justification, with the speaker declaring, “I was a sprinter then”. There are images of belief tested by disappointment, a pastor who loses authority, and consequences framed as moral collapse rather than private doubt. By the end, the song’s talk of being bound to something points to a stubborn attempt at footing after the ground shifts.
"Sprinter" is a track by Torres, from the album Sprinter, released 3rd May 2015. The track is 4:45 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Torres.
