Broken
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, and I know it serves me well
I want to hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I want to hold you high, and steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I want to hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
The lyrics to "Broken" tell the story of a person who is deeply in love with someone else. They love the way the person laughs and want to be able to take away their pain. They keep a photograph of them as a reminder of their love. However, the person is struggling with their emotions and feels broken when they are alone. They can't handle the pain of being away from their love and feel lost when they're gone. The person feels weak and broken when they are open about their feelings, and they don't feel like they are strong enough to handle it on their own.
The chorus is a repetition of how broken the person feels without their love. They don't feel right when the person is gone and feel like they are missing a part of themselves. The worst is over, but they still need the other person to make them feel whole. The song ends on a sad note, with the person realizing that their love is gone and they don't feel the same anymore.
Overall, "Broken" is a heartfelt and emotional song about the pain of love and loss. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt incomplete without someone who they deeply care for.
