Broken Anyway
Embracing Imperfections: Broken Yet Still Together
Lyrics
Problem is what we want to say
Expressing the difficulty in articulating thoughts or feelings.
What we want to say will just blow us both away
Fear that expressing what needs to be said will have a negative impact on both parties involved.
It's ice cold and it just rained
Describing a situation that is emotionally cold and recently troubled.
Everything we were is going down in an endless drain
Acknowledging the dissolution of everything they once were, seemingly into oblivion.
It was broken anyway
Acknowledging a pre-existing brokenness or flaw in the situation or relationship.
It was broken anyway
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of brokenness.
It was broken, it was fake
Affirming that what existed was both damaged and artificial.
I just close my eyes and shake
Choosing to avoid reality by closing eyes and shaking, possibly a metaphor for denial.
Last chance before it slips away
Highlighting the urgency of the situation before it is irreversibly lost.
Throw it all away and can't go back again
The irreversible act of discarding everything, with no possibility of retrieval.
What was whatever it became?
Pondering what something used to be and what it has transformed into.
Whatever, we will still be together in some ways
Despite the changes, expressing a belief in an enduring connection in some form.
It was broken anyway
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of pre-existing brokenness.
It was broken anyway
Further emphasizing the acknowledgment of brokenness.
It was broken anyway
Continued acknowledgment of the damaged state of affairs.
It was broken anyway
Repetition of the acknowledgment of pre-existing brokenness.
It was broken anyway
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of brokenness.
It was broken, it was fake
Affirmation that what was present was both damaged and inauthentic.
And I don't know what it meant
Expressing confusion about the significance or meaning of the brokenness.
It was broken anyway
Repetition of the acknowledgment of pre-existing brokenness.
It was broken anyway
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of brokenness.
It was broken anyway
Continued acknowledgment of the damaged state of affairs.
It was broken anyway
Final affirmation of the pre-existing brokenness, closing the lyrical narrative.
