You Can't Fix Me
Broken Echoes: Embracing the Unfixable
Lyrics
Lost in my own way i'm tired of waiting
Feeling lost in one's own path and experiencing fatigue from waiting.
I came here to say you can't fix me
Expressing the futility of someone trying to repair or solve the speaker's issues.
The last time we talked I ran into a landmine
Recalling a previous conversation where a metaphorical "landmine" was encountered.
I could feel the shrapnel as it flew by
Sensing the impact and danger of the situation, represented by shrapnel flying by.
To confirm the ending of the peace time
Confirming the end of a peaceful period or relationship.
I subverted when I said
Subverting expectations in communication, possibly hinting at hidden feelings or thoughts.
You're pulling away you're tired of chasing
Noticing emotional withdrawal and weariness in the other person.
You came here to say you can't fix me
Echoing the sentiment from line 2, emphasizing the impossibility of being fixed by someone else.
Lost in my own way i'm tired of waiting
Reiterating a sense of being lost and the weariness of waiting.
I came here to say you can't fix me
Reaffirming the unfixable nature of the speaker.
A blue sky greys as clouds
Describing a changing emotional state, symbolized by the transition from blue sky to gray clouds.
Descend upon a new smile
Noting the impact of external factors on a once joyful expression.
Slowly changing when the flawed design
Slowly acknowledging flaws in one's design or character.
Manifests a sickness in the bloodline

Permeating through my head

I'm broken, cut off from the world
