BROKEN...
Seether (feat. Amy Lee) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph
And I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
when you're gone away
Youve gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
(Instrumental)
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone
You've gone away
You dont feel me anymore
The lyrics of Seether's "Broken" featuring Amy Lee is an emotional ode to lost love and the pain of being alone. The vulnerability of the singer emerges in lines like "I'm broken when I'm lonesome" and "I don't feel like I am strong enough." What's powerful about the song is the way that the emotions of loss and sadness are intertwined with a deep sense of longing for the person who has gone away. The singer knows that the relationship is over, but the memory of it lingers on. They keep a photograph of their lost love, and they want to "hold you high and steal your pain."
The chorus really captures the essence of the song's tragedy-- "I'm broken when I'm lonesome / And I don't feel right when you're gone away." There is just so much heartache and regret in those lines, and they really show that the singer is struggling to move on. The pain of the past is all-encompassing, and it is hard to find a way through.
Overall, the song is a powerful account of the agony of lost love. The yearning to hold onto something that is gone is something that everyone can relate to, and Seether's poignant lyrics and Amy Lee's soaring vocals do a powerful job of conveying that feeling.
