Broken
Unseen Echoes: Discovering the Hidden Pain in Young London's 'Broken'
Lyrics
You can't see me now
You are unable to perceive me at this moment.
Lying in this mess that you left
I am lying in the aftermath of the emotional turmoil you caused.
When you tore this place now
Referring to the damage caused when you disrupted this place (emotionally or metaphorically).
You can hear these cries
There are audible expressions of pain.
Coming from the part of my heart
The cries originate from a part of my heart that should never experience a farewell.
That should never say goodbye
This part of the heart should be perpetual, avoiding goodbyes.
Tonight
Emphasizing the current moment.
Everything I ever had let go
I have relinquished everything I possessed.
From your eyes
Revelation of emotions through your eyes.
Everything you wanted me to know
You conveyed everything you wanted me to understand.
I am not invisible
Asserting visibility; I am not unnoticed.
Days slip by me now, running from the past
Time is passing quickly, escaping me, as I avoid confronting our shared history.
That we had when we used to own this town
Recollection of a time when we dominated this town.
But you won???t see my cry
Despite the pain, I won't let you witness my tears.
And knowing that???s the start of the part
Acknowledging that this is the beginning of the phase where I stop questioning why.
Where I'll never wonder why
Entering a state where I won't ponder the reasons behind our situation.
But tonight
Reiterating the emphasis on the current moment.
Everything I ever had let go
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the act of letting go.
From your eyes
Reiteration of emotions revealed through your eyes.
Everything you wanted me to know
You succeeded in communicating everything you intended me to understand.
I am not invisible???
Restating visibility; I am not overlooked.
