Body's Broken
Broken Bodies: A Poetic Odyssey of Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
Night came down, poured and thundered
Night descended with rain and thunder
Lights went out, and I went under
Lights went out, and I succumbed to darkness
My body's broken
Expressing physical injury or fatigue
Body's broken
Reiteration of physical distress
Well, I'm a strange one, lost in your ocean
Describing oneself as unique, adrift in an overwhelming experience
Strange language, strange emotion
Reference to unfamiliar communication and intense feelings
Body's broken
Repeating the state of physical brokenness
Body's broken
Reiteration of the physical state of being broken
Don't come knockin'
Discouraging someone from approaching or seeking contact
I gave you everything
Expressing the act of giving everything to someone
(Don't come knockin')
Reiteration of discouragement from approaching
I heard you talkin'
Acknowledging hearing someone speak
What's in it for me
Questioning the benefit or reward for oneself
(Don't come knockin')
Reiteration of discouragement from approaching
(I heard you talkin')
Reiteration of hearing someone speak
Body's broken
Repeating the state of physical brokenness
Dusty sailor crawlin' to your door
Depicting a weary sailor crawling towards a destination
Rusty razor washed up on the shore
Illustrating a worn-out razor found on the shore
Broken bodies
Referring to damaged or injured bodies
Body's broken
Reiteration of the physical state of being broken
My body's broken
Restating the personal condition of physical brokenness
My body's broken
Final reaffirmation of the personal state of physical brokenness
