Bend
Parabelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We came along and made a mess of it
And you still you remember who's to blame
And then she said
I know a man like you
It's hard to heal with your wounds open
It breaks my heart to let you go but let you go I did
It hurts when it gets broke
And you know I'm not here to build you up
Cause you let me down when I needed you the most
My world's a lot like yours
It gets judged for what it's worth
And you know I'm just here till it gets tough
Cause you're not enough I just needed you to bend
Meant for me?
Who really wants to talk about yesterday
Yesterday's a vacant town
It all fades when no one knows your name
Is what she said, really what she said, when she said
My heart's a lot like yours
It hurts when it gets broke and you know
I'm not here to build you up
Cause you let me down when I needed you to bend
My world's a lot like yours
It gets judged for what it's worth and you know
I'm just here till it gets rough
Cause you broke apart when I needed you to bend
When all the promises are gone
When all that carries us is wrong
When weak becomes your something strong
I'm lost, I'm found, I'm here, I'm all around
When something old is something new
When what you borrowed makes you blue
When you have done all you can do
You're getting close, you're getting close!
My heart is always yours, no matter where you go
If there's one thing I know for sure
It's that we won't break no matter how much we bend
The lyrics of Parabelle's song "Bend" touch upon themes of heartbreak, vulnerability, and the difficulty of healing. The opening lines "Is this where the pieces fit? We came along and made a mess of it" suggest that the singer is reflecting on a past relationship that has fallen apart. The tone is regretful, as the singer acknowledges that they were responsible for the failure of the relationship.
The second verse, which begins with "My heart's a lot like yours / It hurts when it gets broke", shows that the singer is vulnerable and hurting from the end of the relationship. They go on to say "And you know I'm not here to build you up / Cause you let me down when I needed you the most", indicating that they were let down by their partner during a difficult time.
The chorus, which repeats "My heart's a lot like yours / It hurts when it gets broke and you know / I'm not here to build you up / Cause you let me down when I needed you to bend / My world's a lot like yours / It gets judged for what it's worth and you know / I'm just here till it gets rough / Cause you broke apart when I needed you to bend" emphasizes the singer's pain and disappointment with their partner.
The bridge of the song is somewhat more hopeful, suggesting that the singer and their partner may still have a chance at reconciling. "My heart is always yours, no matter where you go / If there's one thing I know for sure / It's that we won't break no matter how much we bend" indicates that the singer still cares for their partner and is willing to work on repairing the relationship.
Overall, "Bend" is a poignant and emotional song that delves into the complexities of relationships and the challenges of healing from heartbreak.

@nicktipton3200
I found these guys out a mnth back been following Kevin since old Evans blue. I think this guy has a one of a kind voice love all the music he's made this guy has been through a lot with holding relationships and letting loved ones go... It's tough for anyone to lose someone but the hardest thing is starting over and re trusting a new one and hoping that this will be the last... This is defently by far the best off this album

Good Lord - Matisyn was a uniquely incredible voice. Good backup vocals, too.
