Broken Flowers
Danny L Harle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lying awake for hours
Time stands still around me
Teardrops feel like showers
I thought I was free
Lying awake for hours
With just your broken flowers

Teardrops feel like showers

There's nothing I can see
Lying awake for hours
Time stands still around me
Teardrops feel like showers
I thought I was free
Lying awake for hours
With just your broken flowers

Teardrops feel like showers
There's nothing I can see
Lying awake for hours
Time stands still around me
Teardrops feel like showers
I thought I was free
Lying awake for hours
With just your broken flowers

Teardrops feel like showers
There's nothing I can see
Lying awake for hours
Time stands still around me
Teardrops feel like showers
I thought I was free
Lying awake for hours
With just your broken flowers

Teardrops feel like showers

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Danny L Harle's song Broken Flowers express the feeling of being stuck in a moment of grief and sadness. The repetition of the verse "Lying awake for hours, time stands still around me, teardrops feel like showers, I thought I was free" highlights the unchanging nature of the singer's emotional state, which is defined by the constant presence of tears and the overpowering feeling of being trapped in a moment of pain. The broken flowers represent a visual metaphor for the singer's heart, which has been torn apart and left in a state of disarray. The repetition of the chorus adds to the weight of the emotions expressed in the song, emphasising the powerlessness of the individual in the face of overwhelming sadness.

The theme of Broken Flowers evokes feelings of melancholy and sadness, which is reflected in the tone of the music, with its use of dream-like synths and a sense of wistful nostalgia. The song's mournful melody and repetitive lyrics create a sense of yearning for a sense of normalcy and a desire to move on from the pain of heartbreak, yet despite the character's efforts to move forward, they remain stuck in the moment of sorrow. The lyrics, like the flowers, serve as a reminder of a love that has been lost, and despite the singer's attempts to move on, they are unable to escape the pain.

Overall, the lyrics of Danny L Harle's song Broken Flowers take us on a journey through the despairing emotions of heartbreak and highlights the difficulties of moving on from it. The song serves as a poignant reminder of the depth of emotional pain that heartbreak can cause and the difficulties of feeling stuck in it.

Line by Line Meaning

Lying awake for hours
Unable to sleep, I have been awake for hours

Time stands still around me
Although time is still moving forward, it feels like everything has come to a halt for me

Teardrops feel like showers
My tears are falling heavily and abundantly, like a rain shower

I thought I was free
I believed that I had moved on from this, but now I am faced with these feelings again

Lying awake for hours
Continuing to struggle to fall asleep

With just your broken flowers
All I have left of you are these broken and wilted flowers

There's nothing I can see
My vision is clouded by my tears, making it hard to see anything clearly

Teardrops feel like showers
My tears are continuing to pour out uncontrollably

I thought I was free
Once again, I had believed that I had moved past this, but I am still trapped in these feelings

Lying awake for hours
Still sleepless and consumed by my thoughts and emotions

Time stands still around me
Despite the world moving forward, I am stuck in this moment and cannot move on

Teardrops feel like showers
My tears are unrelenting, continuing to fall heavily

I thought I was free
Once again, I have been deceived into thinking that I had moved on from this, but I am still trapped

Lying awake for hours
Still struggling to find peace in the midst of my emotional turmoil

With just your broken flowers
The only physical reminder of you that I have left are these flowers that you gave me, now broken and wilted

Teardrops feel like showers
Tears keep flowing like an uncontrollable rain shower

There's nothing I can see
The blur in my eyes from the tears continues, obstructing my vision

I thought I was free
I was misled into thinking that I had overcome my emotions, but it's still here and it hurts

Lying awake for hours
Unable to find solace in sleep, I am troubled and restless

Time stands still around me
Everything around me seems stagnant while I'm stuck in this emotional rut

Teardrops feel like showers
Tears keep pouring down like an endless, heavy rainfall

I thought I was free
Once again, I was mistaken to think that I had moved on from this, but the pain still remains

Lying awake for hours
Sleep eludes me as I struggle with my emotions

With just your broken flowers
The only remaining symbol I have of our relationship are these fragile and damaged flowers

It's funny... this is the first PC Music track I ever heard, without even knowing what the label/genre was. All I knew was that it sounded different and I liked it and vibed with it. It's the track I remember from my depression returning in late 2015 (♪"I thought I was free"♪) and recently PC Music/ Hyperpop has been the thing that's finally started to pull me out of this and remind me that I can be truly happy again. Approaching the track from the other direction hits different <3

Sticking labels on things doesn't make them new. This is a very retro style of house music, and the techniques used are reminiscent of the 80s and early 90s. Dig deeper, you may discover a lot of good (similar) music from the past 2 or 3 decades.

@mathewsaraujo6241

This song was a good lover gift before we love each other, and in fact showed me that she suffered some job disease and the message the song has, it is still a reality for that kind of work that doesn't make you progress. Hamster on a wheel be like, and others take the credit.
