Everything Is Broken
Mr. Hudson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday is just another crazy anyway
I think I'm winning when you walk away
With all your trophies and you accolades-lades-lades
From the beginning darling

I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken

Travesty, you're at the top of your academy
Don't get too used to looking down on me
Soon you'll be calling me your Majesty
From the beginning darling

I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken

Easy now, I tell you easy now
Before you say something that you don't mean to say
Easy now, she tell me easy now
Before I lose something, I'll never find again

Yeah, that's what she want me believing
See me alone, looks can be deceiving
One girl coming in, two or three leaving
Steaming, Willy Demon, they're screaming
Now that, that, they all love him
In the Midwest so they girls M Dub him
Met them way back when I posed for the Kodak
Tell me, how does it feel unreal

I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken
I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken

Gonna take you for a ride

I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken, broken, broken




I was just your token, token, token
Everything is broken

Overall Meaning

The song "Everything is Broken" by Mr. Hudson is a melancholic reflection on a past relationship that has ended sourly. The lyrics suggest that the singer was victimized by the other person who treated them as a mere accessory to their accomplishments. The chorus emphasizes the theme of everything being broken, as if the relationship, the singer and the world are all falling apart.


The opening lines, "Everyday is just another crazy anyway, I think I'm winning when you walk away," suggest that the singer might have felt oppressed in the relationship, and now that it's over, they can finally breathe. The lines "With all your trophies and your accolades-lades-lades, From the beginning darling," imply that this person was driven by success and achievements, leaving the singer feeling insignificant and used as they were treated as a mere token, an accessory to the other person's success.


The second verse reveals that the other person has reached the top of their academy and is now looking down at the singer. The line "Soon you'll be calling me your Majesty," suggests that the singer is being sarcastic; they are implying that the person won't be on top for long and will be humbled in due time.
