Broken
Breaking in Two: Unveiling the Emotional Turmoil Within
Lyrics
Deep, deep, deep run the feelings
Intense emotions run deep within the speaker.
Crawling inside my mind
Feelings are penetrating and occupying the speaker's thoughts.
Keep, keep, keep it together
The speaker urges themselves to keep emotions under control.
Afraid to let them fly
Fearful of allowing emotions to be expressed or revealed.
I really can't fall apart right now
The speaker is facing a challenging situation but can't afford to break down.
I really can't touch that place
Avoidance of a sensitive or vulnerable mental state.
Thought I was all grown up right now
Despite appearances, the speaker thought they were mature or emotionally strong.
I really can't show you my face
The speaker cannot show their true emotions to others.
But I'm breaking in two
The speaker acknowledges a personal emotional fracture.
But I'm breaking inside
Internal emotional turmoil is affecting the speaker.
But I'm breaking in two
The sense of breaking into two parts is reiterated.
'Cause I'm broken inside
The speaker is emphasizing the internal brokenness.
She, she, she stood up for us
Refers to someone standing up for a cause or against something.
When she testified
Specifically, a woman testified, possibly in a legal context.
Me, me too, my body cried out
The speaker, too, had a visceral reaction to the testimony.
When she spoke those lines
Witnessing the impact of someone else's words on the speaker's body.
I really can't fall apart right now
The speaker is under pressure but mustn't break down.
But it hits me too close to the bone
The situation feels extremely personal and emotional.
I thought I was all grown up right now
The speaker thought they were mature but is still struggling.
But I feel like I'll never be done
There's a sense of never-ending emotional turmoil.
But I'm breaking in two
Reiteration of the speaker's internal emotional breakdown.
But I'm breaking inside
The internal emotional struggle intensifies.
But I'm breaking for you
Breaking for someone else suggests empathy or shared pain.
All the ways that we tried
Emphasizes the various attempts made to cope with difficulties.
But I'm breaking in two
The internal breaking persists without relief.
Never feeling alright
A perpetual sense of not feeling okay.
But I'm breaking in two
The ongoing internal struggle continues.
'Cause I'm broken inside
The speaker reiterates their internal brokenness.
