Broken World
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Depths of Lost City Angels' 'Broken World'
Lyrics
Not too long ago I made a resolution I can keep
Expressing recent commitment but struggles to keep it.
You promised me salvation, I promised you another week
Recalling a promise of salvation, reciprocating with a limited timeframe.
Although I think I'm dying, if you were me tell me what you'd do
Feeling near death and seeking advice on actions to take.
I'm stepping out on this limb now, trying to break free from the truth
Taking a risk to break free from an uncomfortable truth.
And I can feel it in my heart, whispering the fetid change
Sensing an impending change, possibly negative and foul.
Take me to the path of righteous, 'but I just can't be saved
Desiring righteousness but feeling unable to be saved.
Still dancing with the devil
Continuing to engage with negative influences or behaviors.
Me, I was growing ill
Experiencing physical or emotional decline.
My head's still in a dungeon
Feeling mentally trapped or confined.
Throw me to the wolves with a guilt
Accepting punishment or hardship with a sense of guilt.
Still dream of something better
Maintaining hope for a better future despite difficulties.
A life without this feel
Longing for a life without a particular negative feeling.
The consents holy scriptures
Referencing sacred texts but acknowledging a change in perception.
But I know now that I was finally heard
Realizing that one's voice or message has been heard.
Not too far away there's something lying dormant deep asleep
Describing something dormant and inactive nearby.
I told you I'd been paid for, you sent the devils inside me
Mentioning a payment and feeling infiltrated by negative forces.
Although I think I'm trying, look down on me like you always do
Struggling and feeling judged by others.
I'm stepping out on this limb now, trying to step away from you
Taking another risky step to distance from someone.
And I can feel it in my heart, whispering the fetid change
Feeling a negative change in the heart.
Take me to the path of righteous, 'but I just can't be saved
Desiring righteousness but expressing inability to be saved.
Still dancing with the devil
Continuing to engage with negative influences or behaviors.
Me, I was growing ill
Experiencing physical or emotional decline.
My head's still in a dungeon
Feeling mentally trapped or confined.
Throw me to the wolves with a guilt
Accepting punishment or hardship with a sense of guilt.
Still dream of something better
Maintaining hope for a better future despite difficulties.
A life without this feel
Longing for a life without a particular negative feeling.
The consents holy scriptures
Referencing sacred texts but acknowledging a change in perception.
But I know now that I was finally heard
Realizing that one's voice or message has been heard.
(Rhyme or reason, rhyme or reason)
Repeating the question of whether there is rhyme or reason.
Finally heard
Acknowledging that the message has been finally heard.
(Rhyme or reason)
Reiterating the uncertainty of rhyme or reason.
I know now that I was finally heard
Affirming the realization that the message has been heard.
(Rhyme or reason, rhyme or reason)
Repeating the question of whether there is rhyme or reason.
Finally heard
Acknowledging that the message has been finally heard.
(Rhyme or reason)
Reiterating the uncertainty of rhyme or reason.
I know now that I was finally heard
Affirming the realization that the message has been heard.
