Broken Frame
Alex & Sierra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me sitting here spinning gears
We're like a stolen car
Hand in mine, feeling like this is right
But it's just not us
The greatest pretenders forget to remember the lies
We're falling forever, we're far from together tonight

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only little things
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame

Time is up
Be the sound, no one's wrong
And no one's right
Hiding pain, Novocaine is gonna fade
There's no good in goodbye
The greatest pretenders forget to remember the lies
We're falling together, he ties that we sever tonight

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only little things
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame

Gotta open up, open up
Gotta open up, open up

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only little things
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame




In a broken frame
In a broken frame

Overall Meaning

In Alex & Sierra's song "Broken Frame", the lyrics talk about a relationship that is not quite right. The two people sitting together are compared to a stolen car, which suggests that they are doing something they shouldn't be doing. This feeling of discomfort continues throughout the song as they realize that they are not meant to be together. The line "we're falling forever, we're far from together tonight" indicates that even though they are physically close, emotionally they are drifting apart.


The chorus of the song captures the overall message with the lyrics "Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame". This metaphor suggests that they may look good together at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are many cracks in their relationship. Towards the end of the song, we hear the lyrics "Gotta open up, open up," which suggests that the two individuals are aware that they need to make a change in order to fix the relationship.


Overall, the song is emotional and raw, with lyrics that speak to the complexities of human relationships. It captures the feeling of being in a relationship that is not working, and the struggle to make it right.

You and me sitting here spinning gears
We're like a stolen car
Hand in mine, feeling like this is right
But it's just not ours

The greatest pretenders forget to remember
the lies
We're falling forever, we're far from together
tonight

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only airplanes
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
'Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame

Time is on neither side, no one's wrong
And no one's right
Hiding pain, Novocaine is gonna fade
There's no good in goodbye

The greatest pretenders forget to remember
the lies
We're falling together, the ties that we sever
tonight

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only airplanes
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
'Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame

Gotta open up, open up
Gotta open up, open up

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only airplanes
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
'Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame
In a broken frame
In a broken frame
