Broken Reflections: Unveiling the Pain in Eleventyseven's 'Damage'
Lyrics
You nail your crosses to your prom queens
You symbolize your burdens and hardships on people who are admired for their beauty and popularity.
Youth grown in a closet full of bones
Your adolescence developed in an environment filled with unresolved issues and challenges.
Left over from your sad nights at 19
Remnants from difficult experiences during your late teenage years persist.
Slice toes just to fit glass slippers on your next step-sister with a rap sheet
You endure pain, even altering yourself, to please someone who has a troubled history.
All toast to the last man standing on your graveyard planet
Cheers to the person still standing amid the wreckage of your life.
Yeah we might be
Acknowledging that there's a shared experience of brokenness among individuals.
All cut from the same broken glass
We all come from similar shattered experiences.
The same broken past yeah
Shared history of brokenness.
All I can do
Expressing limitations or inability.
Make this promise to you
Promising a commitment despite personal flaws.
That my damage
The singer's personal struggles or damage.
Could be your damage too
Suggesting that the listener can relate to the singer's struggles.
Can you manage the mood
Asking if the listener can handle the emotional challenges.
When the panic ensues
Referring to a state of anxiety or chaos.
Yeah my damage
Reiterating the singer's personal struggles or damage.
Could be your damage too
Reassuring that the listener can also relate to the struggles.
Could be your damage
Emphasizing the universality of personal damage.
Sharp words from the soft life
Critical words originating from a comfortable life.
Hard dreams woke you up soaking wet
Ambitious dreams disrupt your peace abruptly.
Black magic in your sweat for the next life
Dark influences evident in your efforts for the future.
Have you come under threat from the home militia in your mind's eye?
Facing internal challenges posed by your own thoughts.
First kiss under moonlight
First romantic experience under the moon's light.
Hot tears from a sad song
Tears shed due to a melancholic song.
Maybe that's what the flood's like
Suggesting that emotional flooding is comparable to a natural disaster.
Cool water on your brimstone
Comfort in difficult times.
All I can do
Expressing limited capabilities or options.
Make this promise to you
Renewing the commitment despite flaws.
That my damage
Reiteration of the singer's personal struggles or damage.
Could be your damage too
Suggesting that the listener can also experience similar struggles.
Can you manage the mood
Asking if the listener can handle emotional challenges.
When the panic ensues
Reference to a state of anxiety or chaos.
Yeah my damage
Reiteration of the singer's personal struggles or damage.
Could be your damage too
Assuring the listener can also relate to the struggles.
Could be your damage
Emphasizing the universality of personal damage.
