An atlas is a collection of maps; it is typically a map of Earth or a region of Earth, but there are atlases of the other planets (and their satellites) in the Solar System. Atlases have traditionally been bound into book form, but today many atlases are in multimedia formats. In addition to presenting geographic features and political boundaries, many atlases often feature geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. They also have information about the map and places in it.
The origin of the term atlas is a common source of misconception, perhaps because two different mythical figures named 'Atlas' are associated with map making.
In works of art, this Atlas is represented as carrying the heavens or the Celestial Sphere, on his shoulders. The earliest such depiction is the Farnese Atlas, now housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Napoli in Naples, Italy. This figure is frequently found on the cover or title-pages of atlases. This is particularly true of atlases published by Dutch publishers during the second half of the seventeenth century. The image became associated with Dutch merchants, and a statue of this figure adorns the front of the World Trade Center in Amsterdam.

A young woman whose heart has been ripped out (and chewed on, run over, buried with, played with, etc.) shows us that although the pain can become unbearable at times, we can slowly begin the healing process and, though we have our fears and our doubts, we can find the strength inside to move on, and possibly, to love again.

Genres: Comedy, Horror,I'm a thousand people
From day to day
We are all airborne
Without ground control
I call my name
In the maelstrom
I'm not givin' in
So don't you give in
I'll be your Atlas
And carry our world
But I guess
I won't save the world today
I'm just trying to survive
And perhaps I'll dream again
But I will find my cross
And I will take us home
But I guess
I won't save the world today
I'm a thousand people
From day to day
Blues and so untitled
On the road to where
I'm losing my name
In the maelstrom
But I'm not givin' in
So don't you give in
I'll be your Atlas
And carry us home
But I guess
I won't save your world today
But I guess
I won't save the world today
I'm just trying to survive
And perhaps I'll dream again
But I will find my cross
And I will take us home

I'm just trying to survive
And perhaps I'll dream again
But I will find my cross
And I will take us home
