Fractured Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
push me so low, i’m down to the ground that
all the kings horses and all the kings men
couldn’t put me back together again.
Yet ever so quietly it grows inside,
this longing for what I knew was a lie -
the truth of a thousand words written in code
Chorus:
Seems like yesterday I told you goodbye
I just wanted to say ‘have a nice fucking life,
but this feeling inside, it wont fade it won’t die
and I cant understand why it just wont subside.
Deep within,
I know what could have been
is much worst than this,
so I dig, and bury the memories.
The roses are red but now they’re all dead,
the taste of your lips still runs through my head,
the hole in the wall the bruises befallen
and all along im waiting, im stalling.
Something inside me cant look away,
the last time ill speak this and whisper your name,
the candles you’ve lit have started to fade,
this journey I walk when I should have waited.
Chorus (2x)
The song "Dig" by Fractured speaks about the emotional turmoil of a past relationship, where the singer is torn between their desire to let go and move on, and the yearning for the past that still lingers within them. The opening lines of the song "You build me up, you tear me down, push me so low, I’m down to the ground that all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn’t put me back together again" portray the feeling of being broken and unable to heal, no matter how hard one tries. The singer feels trapped, unable to escape the memories of the past relationship, which continue to haunt them.
The second verse of the song "Yet ever so quietly it grows inside, this longing for what I knew was a lie - the truth of a thousand words written in code that dig in my soul like the hole you’ve bestowed" highlights the conflicting emotions of the singer. On one hand, they know that the relationship was a lie, but on the other, they cannot shake off the memories and the emotional attachment that they still feel. The chorus of the song "Seems like yesterday I told you goodbye, I just wanted to say ‘have a nice fucking life, but this feeling inside, it wont fade it won’t die and I cant understand why it just wont subside" emphasizes the struggle that the singer is undergoing, where they are unable to let go of the past.
The final verse of the song "Something inside me can't look away, the last time i'll speak this and whisper your name, the candles you've lit have started to fade, this journey I walk when I should have waited" portrays the acceptance of the situation and the realization that the singer needs to move on. However, the memories continue to linger, and the singer is left with no other choice but to bury them, hoping to find closure and peace.
