Missing
Rebel feat. Brooklyn Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it strange to feel broken?
Is it strange to be choking on the antidote?
These missing words remain unspoken
These missing parts of me are cut into a million pieces

Don't stop, I'm better left for dead
You'll waste yourself on me
These things are better left unsaid
For you and me
Don't stop I'm better left for dead
I'll always be with you
But just be careful where you tread
Please don't hate me

Is it strange to be broken?
Is it strange to be bleeding from a tourniquet?
These simple words are a token
A feeble offering to hope the pain inside you ceases

Don't stop I'm better left for dead
You'll waste yourself on me
These things are better left unsaid
For you and me
Don't stop I'm better left for dead
I'll always be with you
But just be careful where you tread
Please don't hate me
Don't stop I'm better left for dead
You'll waste yourself on me
These things are better left unsaid
For you and me
Don't stop I'm better left for dead
I'll always be with you




But just be careful where you tread
Please don't hate me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rebel feat. Brooklyn Rose's song "Missing" explores the eerie feeling of feeling broken and missing key components of oneself. The first verse starts with the question, "Is it strange to feel broken?" which suggests that feeling incomplete and lost is not only familiar but shared by others. The verse goes on to describe the internal struggle of wanting to heal but at the same time feeling trapped and suffocated by the supposed antidote, which only drives the pain deeper. However, the singer remains silent, leaving their "missing words...unspoken" and themselves "cut into a million pieces".


The chorus addresses the unnamed receiver of the message, pleaing not to stop. The singer thinks they are "better left for dead" so as not to drag down the other person, who they care for but doesn't want to waste their energy on them. They suggest that it's better if they don't say anything, perhaps to spare them from the harsh realities the singer is going through. Then the song repeats the chorus, with slight variations in the lines, emphasizing the plea not to stop and not to hate them.


Overall, the lyrics are a poignant tale of someone who feels incomplete and broken but is too afraid to express themselves fully to avoid dragging anyone else into their turmoil. It shows the internal struggle of someone dealing with an issue independently, in hopes that their silence will avoid causing pain to others.
