Broken Open
Broken Open: A Journey of Love, Loss, and Transformation
Lyrics
This is an age old story
This is a timeless narrative.
Old man once a boy
An elderly man was once a young boy.
First touch of a woman
Experiencing the first touch of a woman.
leave a poor kid broken
Leaving a financially disadvantaged child emotionally shattered.
raw sugar so sweet
Describing the purity and sweetness of unrefined sugar.
rocking out to the same beat
Sharing a common rhythm or lifestyle.
it was destined to be
Implies a predestined connection or relationship.
i needed to be broken open
The speaker acknowledges the necessity of being emotionally vulnerable or shattered.
rocking through a cloudy day and i've been
Enduring a challenging day and reflecting on it.
smoking through the month of may and i got
Engaging in substance use during the month of May.
thinking about times long ago
Reflecting on past experiences and memories.
and i've been
Continuation of introspective thoughts.
We were two birds in a cage
Metaphorically, two individuals confined together.
living with the door wide open
Living freely with openness despite external constraints.
she said she never saw the bars
The woman, unaware of the barriers that needed breaking.
that needed to be broken open
Expressing a need for liberation or breaking free.
and one day she left and barely said goodbye
The woman departed without a significant farewell.
cupid must have let another arrow fly
Speculating on the influence of love or fate in her departure.
and you know the time will fly by
Time passes quickly when emotional wounds start healing.
when you wont feel oh so broken
Anticipating a future state where the emotional pain is less pronounced.
rocking through a cloudy day and i've been
Revisiting challenges on a cloudy day.
smoking through the month of may and i got
Continuing substance use and reflection in May.
thinking about times long ago
Reflecting on past times, suggesting a recurring theme.
and i've been
Continuation of introspective thoughts.
Thank you for the scars you've burned
Expressing gratitude for emotional scars as they contribute to personal growth.
Thank you for the lessons earned
Acknowledging the value of lessons learned from difficult experiences.
Thank you for the love I've learned
Thanking for the love received, which played a role in the speaker's growth.
That helped me become broken open
Highlighting the transformative effect of love and challenges, leading to emotional vulnerability.
