Left Broken
Shattered Dreams: Embracing the Pain in Sheldon Riley's 'Left Broken'
Lyrics
Take your time but I am wasting away
Expressing impatience and the feeling of deterioration while waiting.
Brought the dusk to keep me waiting for the day
Referring to a period of darkness, possibly symbolizing difficulty or sadness, during the waiting time.
Turned around you got me broken on the ground
Feeling emotionally shattered and hurt after a significant event.
Your got me down, so down, I'm on the ground
Intense emotional distress, being emotionally low and on the ground.
Don't turn around, can't see you walk away
Requesting someone not to leave abruptly without a farewell.
So walk away
Reinforcing the plea for the person to leave.
And leave me broken
Describing the emotional state of being shattered and incomplete.
Or leave me broken
Repetition emphasizing the emotional state of brokenness.
Broken glass you watched me smash
Using broken glass as a metaphor for the aftermath of a destructive event.
To the ground and don't turn back
Encountering a destructive situation and urging not to return.
You left me broken
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally shattered by someone's actions.
Take your time but I'm still waiting for you
Continuing to wait for someone despite the emotional toll.
All or nothing I don't care if I lose
Being indifferent to the outcome, whether it's success or failure.
Walk away or turn around, around, around
Considering the options of walking away or turning around, with uncertainty.
You got me down, so down, I'm on the ground
Reiteration of the deep emotional impact, feeling low and on the ground.
Don't turn around, can't see you walk away
Emphasizing the difficulty of witnessing someone leaving.
So walk away
Encouraging the person to leave despite the emotional pain.
And leave me broken
Reiterating the plea for the person to depart, highlighting the brokenness.
Or leave me broken
Repetition emphasizing the emotional state of brokenness.
Broken glass you watched me smash
Using broken glass as a metaphor for the aftermath of a destructive event.
To the ground and don't turn back
Encountering a destructive situation and urging not to return.
You left me broken
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally shattered by someone's actions.
All of a sudden it comes down to nothing
Highlighting a sudden and drastic turn of events, resulting in nothing.
I put my trust in you
Expressing vulnerability by putting trust in someone.
Please don't walk away
Pleading for the person not to leave, indicating a fear of abandonment.
And leave me broken
Reiterating the plea for the person to depart, highlighting the brokenness.
Or leave me broken
Repetition emphasizing the emotional state of brokenness.
Broken glass you watched me smash
Using broken glass as a metaphor for the aftermath of a destructive event.
To the ground and don't turn back
Encountering a destructive situation and urging not to return.
You left me broken
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally shattered by someone's actions.
