Broken
Livingston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And time turns to fate
And you smile to that boy that thinks to much
I am broken in silence I I adore you
But I wait for you
Without those words that you fear most
And I breath out my name
I'm loaded by you
And I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
The smile look a like
Don't claim that you're better
I don't speak out
Without those words that you fear most
And I breath out my name I would
So loud on to you I could
I'm loaded by you
But I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
Woah oooh oooh oooh
And still I'm losing you
In everything you do
I'm losing you
I'm broken by you
Broken by you
I'm broken by you
I'm broken by you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
I'm broken by you
The song "Broken" by Livingston is a beautifully complex ballad that delves deep into the emotions of love and loss. The song takes a closer look at how love can both mend and break one's heart, leaving them lost and searching for answers. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone but is unable to express their feelings with the words they fear the most. They feel broken and adoring, waiting for that special someone they love to see them and accept them for who they are.
The lines, "And time turns to fate, and you smile to that boy that thinks too much," suggest that the person being admired is lost in thought and unaware of the developing feelings of the admirer. The lines, "Without those words that you fear most, and I breathe out my name so loud onto you," suggest that the admirer is struggling to express their emotions in words and wants to convey their love in a way that is both bold and brave.
The repeated lines "I'm broken by you" showcases the depth of their love and how they have allowed themselves to be so consumed by their feelings that love has become a double-edged sword. The song is a poignant reminder that even though love is a beautiful thing, it can be painful and leave one broken and searching for answers.

ÜBERSETZUNG
Ich sehe dich an
Und Zeit wird zu Schicksal
Und du lächelst den Jungen an, der zu viel denkt
Ich bin gebrochen, schweigend verehre ich dich
Aber ich warte auf dich
Ohne diese Wort, die du so sehr fürchtest
Und ich hauche meinen Namen aus
so laut in deine Richtung
ich bin betrunken von dir
Und du hast mich zerbrochen,
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
Was aussieht wie ein Lächeln,
behaupte nicht, du wärst besser
Ich spreche es nicht aus
Ohne diese Worte, die du so sehr fürchtest
Und ich auch meinen Namen aus, das würde ich
so laut ich deine Richtung, das könnte ich
Ich bin betrunken von dir
Aber du hast mich zerbrochen,
du hast mich zerbrochen,
du hast mich zerbrochen,
Woah oooh oooh oooh
Und noch immer verliere ich dich
mit allem was ich tue
Ich verliere dich
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
hast mich zerbrochen,
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
Du hast mich zerbrochen,
oooh oooh ooh oooh
Du hast mich zerbrochen
