Simple Parts
Echoes of Broken Serenity: Decoding the Meaning Behind Sick of Sarah's 'Simple Parts'
Lyrics
Time goes by so fast
Reflecting on the rapid passage of time.
One last breath, is all I have
Expressing a sense of urgency, with limited time remaining.
people come, they fade
Acknowledging the transient nature of relationships.
Try so hard to shape these words
Struggling to articulate thoughts and emotions.
I cannot formulate
Difficulty in expressing oneself effectively.

Harder enough to breathe
Describing the challenge of breathing, possibly metaphorical.
Harder enough to fall
Emphasizing the difficulty of falling, metaphorically or emotionally.
I’ll be sitting on your back porch
Imagining a contemplative moment on a back porch.
Trying to figure out who you are
Attempting to understand someone's identity.
Made in the factory of broken parts
Suggesting a sense of being composed of broken elements.
I know better, you know better
Acknowledging knowledge but not necessarily applying it.
I’m no better…
Admitting to personal imperfection.
When you dance
Observing solo dancing, possibly symbolic of individuality.
You dance alone
Encouraging individuality through dancing.
Follow suit - your own disco ball
Urging others to follow their own path, like a disco ball.
people come, they fade
Reiterating the transient nature of relationships.
Clear the dance floor

Let’s dance the night away, disco lemonade
