Broken Day
Broken Day: Navigating Shadows of Loss and Redemption
Lyrics
This is a broken day
This day is shattered or damaged.
I don't know of any way that
The singer is uncertain of any solution.
I can mend this, I can mend this broken day
Expressing inability to repair the broken day.
Things will never be the same
Anticipation that things won't return to their previous state.
We are stuck inside a crying shame
Feeling trapped in a regrettable situation.
And I, I can't mend this broken day
Continued acknowledgment of the inability to mend the day.
This ain't a resurrection day and
Clarification that it's not a day of revival.
There's no stone been dragged across a cave and
Rejecting the imagery of a traditional resurrection.
You will not stride out again
No return to life; a person will not come back.
You live on inside the light
Emphasizing the enduring impact in the memories of loved ones.
That hides inside your children's eyes
Describing the lasting presence in the eyes of one's offspring.
As they weep for you upon this broken day
Children mourning for the departed on this broken day.
There is no shining light
No positive or guiding force present.
No vision of purest white
No clear, virtuous vision or direction.
No avenging angels might
No celestial beings seeking retribution.
No resurrection day
Reiterating the absence of a revival or rebirth day.
There is no eagles flight
No majestic or symbolic flight like an eagle.
No table cracked no blinding light
No significant event or revelation.
No vision of purest white
No clear, virtuous vision or direction (repeated).
No resurrection day
Reiteration of the absence of a revival or rebirth day (repeated).
It's just another broken day
Confirmation of the ongoing brokenness of the day.
And I can't see any way
Expressing the inability to perceive a solution.
That I can mend this, mend this broken day
Reiterating the inability to mend the broken day.
Things won't never be the same
Acknowledgment that the situation won't improve.
Stuck down here in a crying shame
Feeling stuck in a lamentable circumstance.
And I can't mend, I can't mend this broken day
Repeating the inability to mend the broken day.
There is no eagles flight
Recapitulating the absence of a majestic flight or rebirth (repeated).
No table cracked no blinding light
Repetition of the absence of significant events or revelations (repeated).
No vision of purest white
Reiteration of the absence of a clear, virtuous vision or direction (repeated).
No resurrection day
Repeating the absence of a revival or rebirth day (repeated).
