Broken
Embracing Brokenness: Nat Lefkoff's Soulful Journey of Love and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I don't want to know anything
I prefer ignorance; I don't want to be aware of anything.
I just want to sit around and get by bye baby
Desire to pass time without complications or challenges.
What's there to know that's not letting you go
Curiosity about what's holding someone back from letting go.
Go carry your stone up the mountain
Encouragement to face challenges, akin to carrying a heavy burden up a mountain.
I'll be on fire you'll breathe in the ocean
Expressing intense emotion while facing difficulties.
Beat on my chest like it could open up
A metaphorical gesture suggesting vulnerability or openness.
You light me on fire why do I feel frozen
Contrasting feelings of being ignited and frozen in emotion.
I wanted to love but I made me a liar and lie to myself all the time
Admitting to self-deception in seeking love.
I wanted a choice but I got desire
Desire conflicting with the need for choices.
You set me on fire
The impact of someone else setting the speaker on fire emotionally.
I saw the city of love I saw the lights in the night
Observation of a city associated with love and the night lights.
I saw your nakedness fly over the valley
Witnessing vulnerability or exposure metaphorically soaring over a valley.
I heard the sound of my chest cracking open
Intense emotional experience, possibly heartbreak or vulnerability.
Could you love me if I stayed broken but bring it alive
Questioning if love is possible despite being broken, a desire for revival.
Bring it alive
An urging to bring life or energy to a situation.
I don't want to know anything
Reiteration of the desire to remain uninformed.
I just want to sit around and get by bye baby
Repetition of the wish to live without complications.
What's there to know that's not letting you go
Curiosity about the reasons preventing someone from moving on.
Go carry your stone up the mountain
Encouraging to face challenges, similar to line #4.
I'll be on fire you'll be in the ocean
Reiteration of intense emotion, but with a change in perspective.
Beat on my chest like it could open up
Metaphorically exposing vulnerability through a physical gesture.
You light me on fire why do I feel frozen
Contrasting emotions of being ignited yet feeling frozen.
I wanted to love but I made me a liar and lie to myself all the time
Acknowledging self-deception in the pursuit of love, a repetition of line #8.
I wanted a choice but I got desire
Desire conflicting with the need for choices, similar to line #9.
You set me on fire
Impact of someone else causing intense emotional reactions, similar to line #10.
I saw the city of love I saw the nights in the light
Reiteration of the observation of a city associated with love and night lights.
I saw your craziness climb out of the valley
Observing someone's wild or erratic behavior emerging from a difficult situation.
I heard the sound of my chest cracking open
Recurrence of a powerful emotional experience, possibly linked to vulnerability.
Could you love me if I stayed broken but bring it alive
Questioning if love is possible despite being broken, a repetition of line #15.
Bring it alive
Repetition of the urging to bring life or energy to a situation, similar to line #16.
