Shattered
Kidbrother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm making a path, going round and around.
Divine tranquility, now that you're gone I've got time for me.
I'm making a pact, no relapses, no setbacks, no regrets.
Run away my love, I'm holding the fort on my own.
I've built thicker walls and I've shot the mayor,
I've thrown out all your phones.
Oh, the humanity! When will they have a place for me?
I've really tried but I can't make it on their terms.
A reject draws to shame just like a moth draws closer to the flame.
I can feel it's getting warmer.
Oh no, here I go…
Hurry back my love, I'm all I've got left when you're gone.
All I've got left is a shrinking heart that's beating off and on.
Hurry back my love, I'm holding the fort on my own.
With no one to fight and no one here to tell me what went wrong.
I hope that you'll get where you're going.
Hurry back, hurry back, I'm starting to crack.
Save my life dear heart attack.
It's bittersweet baby, I'm bitter you're sweet.
Take another swing at me.
There's nothing around, no sight no sound.
Nothing that moves, no ups, no downs.
And no one here to tell me what went wrong.
The song "Shattered" by Kidbrother describes the aftermath of a breakup, focusing on the singer's feelings of betrayal and anger towards their former partner. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation, as the singer comes to terms with the fact that they are now alone and must learn to move on from the relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer expressing their bitter feelings towards their former partner, but also acknowledging that they must make a path for themselves and try to find some inner peace. The second verse shifts the focus onto the singer's struggle to fit in with society at large, with the lyrics "Oh, the humanity! When will they have a place for me?" suggesting a deep-seated sense of inadequacy.
Throughout the song, the singer vacillates between feelings of anger, loneliness and desperation. The chorus, which repeats the lines "Hurry back my love, I'm all I've got left when you're gone" and "I hope that you'll get where you're going", underscores this conflict, highlighting the singer's intense emotional attachment to their former partner while also acknowledging that they must eventually learn to let go. The final lines of the song, which describe a sense of emptiness in the absence of the partner and the lack of any guiding force in the singer's life, leave the listener with a sense of unresolved tension.

And no one here to tell me what went wrong.
There is no one to help me understand what happened in my relationship and how to move on.
