Broke
Breaking Free: A Journey from Insecurity to Liberation
Lyrics
False starts every single time
Encountering difficulties or setbacks at the beginning of endeavors
Shoot myself in the foot at the starting line
Sabotaging one's own efforts or opportunities from the start
All the people watch each other run
Observing people compete and compare themselves while running
Every one of them thinking they’re everyone
Each person believes they are significant or important
What a simple life
Reflecting on a straightforward and uncomplicated life
You were broke and insecure
Describing someone who lacked financial resources and self-confidence
I was a boy looking for something
The narrator, as a young person, searching for meaning or purpose
To hold onto and I found you and
Finding someone to hold onto, providing a sense of comfort
It was something
Acknowledging that the connection was meaningful or valuable
But something’s not enough for you
Expressing dissatisfaction, feeling that the current situation is insufficient
And I want you to know
Conveying a desire for the other person to have everything they want
That you can have it all, I’ll do anything
Offering to make sacrifices for the well-being of the relationship
We can just run away
Suggesting the idea of escaping or running away together
We can just run away
Reiterating the possibility of escaping together
I go out with a bang and I go out in style
Choosing a dramatic or memorable exit, hoping to bring happiness briefly
Just so you’d be happy for a little while
Intending to create happiness for the other person, even at a personal cost
I got nothing left, nothing to decide
Feeling depleted, with no remaining choices or decisions to make
In this tiny town where I was born to die
Expressing a sense of confinement or limitation in the birthplace
Let me out of here
Pleading to be released from the current circumstances or environment
You were broke and insecure
Repeating the description of someone who lacked financial resources and self-confidence
I was a boy looking for something
Reiterating the narrator's search for meaning or purpose
To hold onto and I found you and
Recalling finding solace in the mentioned person
It was something
Affirming that the connection was meaningful or valuable
But something’s not enough for you
Reiterating dissatisfaction, feeling that the current situation is insufficient
And I want you to know
Repeating the desire for the other person to have everything they want
That you can have it all, I’ll do anything
Reaffirming the willingness to make sacrifices for the relationship
We can just run away
Restating the suggestion of escaping or running away together
We can just run away
Reiterating the possibility of escaping together
We were all runaways
Reflecting on the shared experience of being runaways
We can just turn away
Suggesting the option to turn away from the current situation
Are we all runaways?
Pondering whether everyone is, or has been, a runaway
In the end, aren’t we?
Questioning the inevitability of being runaways in the end
Aren’t we?
Persisting in questioning the inevitability of being runaways
