Fractures
Illenium feat. Nevve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desperate for change
Crashing down the ancient roads
Past our yesterday
Maybe there is hunger in my blood
Screaming out loud for what I want
Shatter and collide
Call me post-traumatic
Now it's do or die
Coming after tiny fractures
Coming after tiny fractures
See me running full speed at it
Coming after tiny fractures
Call it post-traumatic
What comes after tiny fractures?
Feeding frenzies in my brain
I'm hopeful everyday
Gotta get it while we are still young enough to break
We're finally not afraid
Maybe there's hunger in my blood
Screaming out loud for what I want
See me running full speed at it
Shatter and collide
Call it post-traumatic
Now it's do or die
Coming after tiny fractures
Coming after tiny fractures
See me running full speed at it
Coming after tiny fractures
Call it post-traumatic
What comes after tiny fractures?
The lyrics of "Fractures" by Illenium feat. Nevve are about the desire for change and the willingness to break away from the past despite the pain it brings. The singer seems to be on a journey, "crashing down the ancient roads" in pursuit of a new direction, fueled by the hunger inside of them. They are desperate for change and are willing to take risks, even if it means shattering and colliding. The lyrics suggest that the singer has experienced some sort of trauma in the past, but instead of being held back by it, they are using it as motivation to move forward.
The phrase "coming after tiny fractures" is repeated throughout the song, serving as a metaphor for the small steps one takes towards making changes in their life. These steps can seem insignificant on their own, but as they accumulate, they can eventually lead to significant progress. The singer is chasing these tiny fractures and is not afraid to confront them even if it's uncomfortable or difficult.
The last verse reinforces the idea that the singer is hopeful for the future and determined to make the most of their youth while they still can. The lyrics are about taking control of one's life, being proactive in making changes, and not being afraid of the challenges that come with it.
