Broken Wings
Silent Force Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tense whispers from nearby
A life lost in my eyes
Drake image of a smile
Fraying at the edges in my mind
Reflections in the mirror
The touch as my angel
Is mending my wings
One time so I can feel it again
Mending my broken wings
Changes, the meadow green to brown
Bare becomes the ground
As if this world was void
Of all my love unvoiced
Playing at the borders
Trapped in time
Reflections disappearing
One time so I can feel it again,
The touch as my angel
Is mending my wings
One time so I can feel it again
Mending my broken wings
I wonder if they're missing me
Can it be ignored ?
Take my hand please lift me up
This is my reward
Cannot take the blame
Cannot cary shame
One time so I can feel it again,
The touch as my angel
Is mending my wings
One time so I can feel it again
Mending my broken wings
"Broken Wings" by Silent Force speaks about the struggles of coping with loss and the yearning to be whole again. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to escape their confinement and the tense whispers around them, as they live a life lost in their eyes. Their mind is fraying at the edges, and they see reflections in the mirror. The once beautiful meadow turns brown and bare, as if their love was unvoiced and the world was void. The singer feels trapped in time and their reflections start disappearing. However, they long to feel the touch of their angel mending their broken wings, so they can feel it again and heal from their pain.
The chorus repeats the desire to feel the touch of the angel mending their broken wings one more time. They wonder if they are being missed and if their pain can be ignored. The singer asks for someone to take their hand and lift them up, as they believe it is their reward. They cannot take the blame or carry the shame anymore, and they want to be mended.
Line by Line Meaning
Escape, confines run into night
Fleeing from the constraints and limitations of life into the darkness
Tense whispers from nearby
Hushed voices conveying anxiety and fear in close proximity
A life lost in my eyes
Feeling hopeless and desolate, like life has lost all meaning
Drake image of a smile
A melancholic imitation of a smile that does not quite reach the eyes
Fraying at the edges in my mind
Mental and emotional breakdown at the brink of collapse
Reflections in the mirror
Searching for answers within oneself
Changes, the meadow green to brown
The transformation of hope and vibrancy into stagnancy and decay
Bare becomes the ground
The loss of life and vitality
As if this world was void
The feeling of emptiness and abandonment
Of all my love unvoiced
The regret of not expressing one's feelings and love
Playing at the borders
Hovering between existence and non-existence
Trapped in time
Feeling stuck and unable to move forward
Reflections disappearing
Losing sight of oneself and one's identity
I wonder if they're missing me
Questioning one's significance and value to others
Can it be ignored ?
Doubting whether one's pain and suffering are acknowledged or dismissed
Take my hand please lift me up
Seeking help and support from others
This is my reward
Finding comfort and validation from being lifted out of despair
Cannot take the blame
Refusal to bear responsibility for circumstances beyond one's control
Cannot carry shame
Refusal to accept or embody negative stereotypes and labels
One time so I can feel it again,
Yearning to relive a moment or experience when everything felt right
The touch as my angel
The healing embrace of someone who cares deeply
Is mending my wings
Giving hope and rejuvenation to a broken spirit
Mending my broken wings
Repairing and restoring what was once lost or damaged
