Broken High Heels
Robin and the Backstabbers Lyrics

The song "Broken High Heels" by Robin and the Backstabbers tells a story of heartbreak, regret, and longing for a lost love. The opening lyrics, "Te gândești iar la ea, mă? Nici gând, mă, nici gând/ Am lăsat-o într-o gară, plângând, bă, plângând," suggest that the singer is trying to convince himself that he's moved on from his former lover, although it's clear that she still occupies his thoughts. He left her crying at a train station, which he now regrets.

The chorus of the song, "Pe tocuri înalte dormi în picioare/ Ca un bec stins care lucește în soare/ Și plouă cu stele în săli de chirurgie/ Se-aprinde o scânteie, se-aprinde ca să fie/ Mai e lumină la spital sau mergem la mine?/ Mai e lumină la spital?" paints a picture of a bleak and melancholic world. The singer describes himself as sleeping while standing on high heels, and compares himself to a dead light bulb that still shines in the sun. The line about "plouă cu stele în săli de chirurgie" (it's raining stars in surgery rooms) is particularly evocative and suggests that the world depicted in the song is surreal and disconnected from reality. The singer asks his lover if they should go to the hospital or back to his place, but neither option seems particularly hopeful.

Overall, "Broken High Heels" is a powerful and poetic song that captures the despair and confusion of lost love.
