Broken
Fivefold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not the first time
I've seen this side of you
I'm through
And now you're walking on
Such a thin line
And I'm about to lose my nerve
When all of this has
Now leave it in the dust
Everything we had
You threw it away
And I have wasted too much love and pride
To be denied what is mine
Walk away
Sell yourself a light
So you can sleep at night
And feed the cancer
Rip me right open, leave me here broken
GO!
This is the last time that I will play the fool
And watch you walk all over me
Your stories unwind
And I'm about to lose my nerve
When all of this has
Cost me so much
Now leave it in the dust
Everything we had
You threw it away
And I have wasted too much love and pride
To be denied what is mine
Walk away
Sell yourself a light
So you can sleep at night
And feed the cancer
Rip me right open, leave me here broken
It's better out here, away from you
All this time
I've seen every sight, believed every lie
I'll be just fine away from you
You
YOU!
These days, it's just not the same
I'm walking away
I'll be OK away from you
You
YOU!
Walk away
Sell yourself a light
So you can sleep at night
And feed the cancer
Rip me right open, leave me here
Just walk away
And leave me here behind
How can you sleep at night
You feed your cancer
Rip me right open, leave me here broken
The song "Broken" by Fivefold is about a relationship that has fallen apart due to the dishonesty and betrayal of one of the partners. The song is written from the perspective of the hurt partner who has given everything to the relationship and is now being discarded and mistreated. The lyrics repeatedly express the sense of betrayal and abandonment that the hurt partner feels. The chorus, "Walk away, sell yourself a light, so you can sleep at night, and feed the cancer, rip me right open, leave me here broken," vividly captures the hurt and anger that the hurt partner feels towards the other partner who is being dishonest and is causing harm to the relationship.
Interestingly, the song also addresses the idea of self-deception and how it can be harmful to a relationship. The line "sell yourself a light, so you can sleep at night" is a commentary on how the other partner is lying to themselves to justify their actions, while causing harm to the relationship. The repeated use of the word "You" in the song is a reminder to the other partner that they are the one who has caused the pain and they cannot just walk away from the consequences of their actions.
Overall, "Broken" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and heartbreak of a broken relationship. It is a relatable song with a powerful message that speaks to anyone who has been hurt by the dishonesty and betrayal of someone they trusted.

I pride myself on listening to and finding these types of bands, and I ALWAYS proclaim that they should be more well known and famous... never has this been more true that with Fivefold. They are FUCKING AMAZING.
@KennyDresden98
And they're even better live!
@leslierogers5700
One of my favorite songs of theirs! So sad that they have decided to end their journey as a band!! 😢
@kellymlady6870
What!!! Just when I literally discovered them!!! 😭
@Jack_Archery
Legend say their music blew their minds so far away they got trapped and stopped
@thigson189
Reality says they rock like hell and should get back together!! Damn these guys are amazing!
@barryallen2751
Heard the singer died too
@squwk7700
@@barryallen2751 No, Ryan is doing fine and is doing solo work. Their original guitarist past a while back, and the song Won't Let Go is dedicated to him.
