born broken
Broken Echoes: A Soul Shattered, A Heart in Flames
Lyrics
Slip right through my hands, I dare you
Expressing the difficulty of holding onto something or someone, challenging them to slip away.
Cut me deep and drag me underwater
Describing a deep emotional wound and being pulled into a challenging situation.
If I can't have it, take it all
Willing to lose everything if unable to possess it, including physical and spiritual aspects.
Both broken body and the soul
Acknowledging a state of complete brokenness in both body and soul.
A perfect harmony
Contrasting the brokenness with the idea of a perfect harmony.
I feel nothing
Expressing emotional numbness or detachment.
Are we that different after all?
Questioning the perceived differences between individuals.
I made it to another morning
Celebrating the survival of another day despite challenges.
Drinking gasoline as if it's water
Metaphorically consuming something harmful, possibly to fuel inner struggles.
It only keeps the fire burning
Highlighting that the destructive behavior only intensifies the internal turmoil.
I wish the waves would crash over me
Expressing a desire for overwhelming challenges to overcome.
Can't take another second of this
Conveying a sense of unbearable pain and exhaustion.
I've lost all patience, I am hopeless
Reaching a point of complete despair and impatience.
Keep me close 'cause I swear I can't trust myself
Seeking closeness for support due to self-distrust and inner turmoil.
And when I reach out there's just emptiness
Feeling emptiness when reaching out for connection or assistance.
Then you turn around to say it's over
Experiencing a sudden end to a relationship or connection.
The way you speak, it's like I've never known you
Not recognizing the familiar qualities in someone's communication.
Inadvertently you took a piece of me
Unintentionally losing a part of oneself, possibly in the context of a relationship.
My memory
Losing a part of one's memory.
My sanity
Losing a sense of sanity or mental stability.
Cast a shadow, have me play it
Being influenced or manipulated, casting a shadow over one's actions.
Break my neck and leave me hanging
Expressing vulnerability and a desire for release from suffering.
Let the vultures come and take me
Accepting a fate where external forces consume or take away.
Lungs full of shattered glass
Describing internal pain through the metaphor of shattered glass in the lungs.
Each piece a grudge
Each piece of shattered glass symbolizing a grudge held against loved ones.
Against the ones I once loved
Internal conflict and resentment towards those once loved.
Can't take another second of this
Reiterating the inability to endure the current state.
I've lost all patience, I am hopeless
Reaching a point of complete despair and impatience (repeated).
Keep me close 'cause I swear I can't trust myself
Seeking closeness for support due to self-distrust and inner turmoil (repeated).
And when I reach out there's just emptiness
Feeling emptiness when reaching out for connection or assistance (repeated).
There's something missing on the inside
Acknowledging an internal void or deficiency.
I'm broken, born broken
Stating the inherent brokenness since birth.
It's never quiet, I'm always screaming in my mind
Expressing constant inner turmoil and mental noise.
I've been broken, born broken
Affirming the ongoing state of brokenness (repeated).
There's something missing on the inside
-I'm broken, born broken
Stating the inherent brokenness since birth (repeated).
It's never quiet, I'm always screaming in my mind
Expressing constant inner turmoil and mental noise (repeated).
I've been broken, born broken
Affirming the ongoing state of brokenness (repeated).
