Broken Bodies
Kid Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can find us in the streets
High until the am
Wading through a stream of dreams
Making all the mayhem
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies

Get me a mirror
Do I look as fucked up as I feel
Don’t you know it’s hard to keep it real
They don’t even know who I really am
They just take a scroll down the Instagram
Twenty-four seven three six five
Wonder what I did in the past life
If I could go back would I rewind
We a little fucked up in our own way
Getting fucked up til the night fade
One day we'll figure it out
Tonight that ain't what this is about
Searching our pockets for some loose change
Bit strange how we all strange
New wave, sipping d’usse
Roll up the doja, my band-aid

You can find us in the streets
High until the am
Wading through a stream of dreams
Making all the mayhem
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies

Stepping out into the night, my parade
Got a smile up on my face, all charades
Headed to the party of the decade
Hope when they look at me they
Think i got it made
Maybe I'll forget all the bullshit in
My head when I get laid
We say we're lit but we outta fuel
Rocking out here with some fake jewels
One day we'll figure it out
Tonight that ain't what this is about
Searching our pockets for some loose change
Bit strange how we all strange
New wave, sipping d’usse
Roll up the doja, my band-aid

Man, can anybody see us? Can anybody hear us?
Chilling in some backstreet
I can't even feel my fucking face shit

Aye, I'm better known as hell's demon
Smoke my opps inside my will
You know I'm barely breathing
I said I'm killing all my skeletons
Fuck it, I can't let em in
Writing all my pain through these letters
Hope you feel it in is it the pills
Or the liquor cus you lost me
And I been balling like my
Last name was spalding
In my orange stripe shirt like I'm waldo
Straight shot, the one killer
The henny sipper
Many men wish death upon him
But yet they fear him
And his bitch straight ride dick
This ain't a Tesla
For the worst or for the better
I'm killing spirit berettas
You couldn't even compare, I
Killed the problem, i dead it
My diamond shaped like a Tetris
I'm better off with the flexing
But fuck it I'm just fading in the black
I'm the phantom of the menace
Dead it, get it

You can find us in the streets
High until the am
Wading through a stream of dreams
Making all the mayhem
We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies

We are the broken bodies
We are the broken bodies

Line by Line Meaning

You can find us in the streets
We spend our time in the streets

High until the am
We stay up late getting high

Wading through a stream of dreams
We struggle to make our dreams a reality

Making all the mayhem
We cause chaos in our lives

We are the broken bodies
We are damaged individuals

Get me a mirror
I want to see how bad I look

Do I look as fucked up as I feel
I feel bad and want to see if I look the same way

Don’t you know it’s hard to keep it real
It's difficult to be honest and genuine

They don’t even know who I really am
People don't understand my true self

They just take a scroll down the Instagram
They judge me by what they see on social media

Twenty-four seven three six five
All day, every day

Wonder what I did in the past life
I question my past actions

If I could go back would I rewind
I wish I could change my past

We a little fucked up in our own way
We all have our own issues to deal with

Getting fucked up til the night fade
We drink and do drugs until the end of the night

One day we'll figure it out
We hope to find answers eventually

Tonight that ain't what this is about
But for now, we just want to have fun

Searching our pockets for some loose change
We are broke and searching for money

Bit strange how we all strange
It's strange how unique we all are

New wave, sipping d’usse
We are trying new things and drinking a specific type of alcohol

Roll up the doja, my band-aid
We are smoking weed as a coping mechanism

Stepping out into the night, my parade
We are going out for the night

Got a smile up on my face, all charades
We pretend to be happy when we're not

Headed to the party of the decade
We're going to the biggest party of the year

Hope when they look at me they
I hope people see me as successful

Think i got it made
Think I have everything under control

Maybe I'll forget all the bullshit in
Drugs might make me forget about my problems

My head when I get laid
Or sex might distract me from my issues

We say we're lit but we outta fuel
We act like we're having fun but we're actually running out of energy

Rocking out here with some fake jewels
We're pretending to be something we're not

Man, can anybody see us? Can anybody hear us?
We question if anyone truly understands us

Chilling in some backstreet
We hang out in hidden places

I can't even feel my fucking face shit
We're so high that we can't feel our faces

Aye, I'm better known as hell's demon
I have a bad reputation

Smoke my opps inside my will
I plan to defeat my enemies

You know I'm barely breathing
I'm struggling to survive

I said I'm killing all my skeletons
I'm facing my past mistakes head-on

Fuck it, I can't let em in
I refuse to let my past mistakes affect me

Writing all my pain through these letters
I express my struggles through writing

Hope you feel it in is it the pills
I hope people can relate to my struggles

Or the liquor cus you lost me
Drugs and alcohol have contributed to my problems

And I been balling like my
I've been successful despite my struggles

Last name was spalding
Like the basketball brand Spalding

In my orange stripe shirt like I'm waldo
I wear a distinctive outfit

Straight shot, the one killer
I'm a strong, confident person

The henny sipper
I drink Hennessy

Many men wish death upon him
People dislike and want to harm me

But yet they fear him
But at the same time, they are afraid of me

And his bitch straight ride dick
I have a woman who supports me

This ain't a Tesla
My car is not fancy

For the worst or for the better
For better or for worse

I'm killing spirit berettas
I'm fighting against my own demons

You couldn't even compare, I
I am unique and incomparable

Killed the problem, i dead it
I have overcome my issues

My diamond shaped like a Tetris
My jewelry is unique and stylish

I'm better off with the flexing
I feel more confident when I show off my wealth

But fuck it I'm just fading in the black
But deep down I'm still struggling

I'm the phantom of the menace
I am a mysterious, dangerous person

Dead it, get it
I have overcome my demons and succeeded
