Broken Record
Echoes of Struggle: Somebody's Child's Broken Record Unveils a Soul in Turmoil
Lyrics
Harder than it ever was
Facing challenges more difficult than ever before.
And we're talking slowly I'm about to lose control
Engaging in a conversation with a sense of impending loss of control.
Remember I was only ten
Reflecting on a time from childhood, specifically when the speaker was ten years old.
Used to try my best but you made it on the pedestal
Used to strive for excellence, but someone elevated themselves onto a pedestal.
And I can't feel
Experiencing emotional numbness or detachment.
I'm a broke fucking record
Expressing a feeling of repetition or being stuck in a cycle of hardship.
I'm not who I wanted to be
Not fulfilling the desired self; a sense of disappointment in personal identity.
And it's only getting harder to believe
Growing skepticism and difficulty in maintaining belief or faith.
I'd give my heart but I can't breathe
Unable to offer love or commitment due to internal struggles.
You told me I was cynical
Being labeled as cynical by someone else.
Our song on the radio
Recalling a shared song on the radio, possibly a significant memory with someone.
Wondering how I got so drunk with you
Questioning how the speaker ended up in an inebriated state with the other person.
And I paid my dues for which you judged me didn't you?
Having faced consequences for actions and feeling judged by others.
Faster than I used to be
Moving faster than in the past, possibly in life or personal development.
Change was always hard for me
Struggling with changes, as adapting has always been challenging.
I'm following my fears
Confronting fears and navigating life based on those fears.
And I can't feel
Reiterating a sense of emotional numbness or detachment.
I'm a broke fucking record
Expressing a feeling of being stuck or repeating difficulties.
I'm not who I wanted to be
Not aligning with the desired self; a continuing sense of personal disappointment.
And it's only getting harder to believe
Increasing difficulty in maintaining belief or faith.
I'd give my heart but I can't breathe
Unable to offer love or commitment due to internal struggles, echoing line 9.
And I can't feel
Reiterating a sense of emotional numbness or detachment.
I'm a broke fucking record
Expressing a feeling of repetition or being stuck in a cycle of hardship, echoing line 6.
I'm not who I wanted to be
Not fulfilling the desired self; a sense of disappointment in personal identity, echoing line 7.
And it's only getting harder to believe
Growing skepticism and difficulty in maintaining belief or faith, echoing line 8.
I'd give my heart but I can't breathe
Unable to offer love or commitment due to internal struggles, echoing lines 9 and 21.
