B.R.A.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the night
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life
Well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on)
(Hold on) if you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life
Well, hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
You are not alone
In the song "Everybody Hurts" by B.R.A.K.E., the lyrics are a reminder to listeners that everybody goes through difficult times and even though it may feel like they are alone, this is not the case. The song evokes the idea that people should hold on during difficult times and lean on their friends and loved ones for comfort and support. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as the singer addresses the listener directly by saying "when your day is long, and the night is yours alone," which creates an image of someone who is struggling and feeling isolated. But the song suggests that these moments are temporary and that things will get better if the listener can hold on and persevere.
The song's message is further reinforced in the chorus, where the singer repeats the phrase "everybody hurts sometimes" several times. This repetition drives home the idea that everyone experiences pain and difficult emotions, and that this is a normal part of the human experience. There is also a call to action in the chorus, as the singer encourages listeners to "take comfort in your friends" and to not "throw your hand" when things get tough. The message of the song is one of hope and resilience, and the lyrics vow that even though life can be overwhelming at times, listeners are not alone in their struggles.
