Not Broken
Skye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no no oh no
Not broken
In two not you

Like the seed you grow
Under it all
You're roots take hold
Smooth out the creases
Then you'll see

And when you fall
Down in between them all
Here you are whole
Not broken

On and on hold on
Not broken
Just loose at the seems

Oh no no don't let go
Just listen
Goodness increases
You will see

And when you fall
Down in between them all
Here you are whole
Not broken

Leave it behind
All of the pain inside
Here you will be
Not broken

Through the crowed patchwork souls
Move closer
Closer

And when you fall
Down in between them all
Here you are whole
Not broken

Leave it behind
All of the pain inside
Here you will be
Not broken





You will see

Overall Meaning

In Skye's song Not Broken, the lyrics convey a message of resilience and growth. The line "Not broken in two not you" suggests that despite facing challenges or difficult situations, the individual still remains whole and intact. The line "Like the seed you grow, under it all, you're roots take hold" is a metaphor for the growth of a person through life's challenges. The roots represent the inner strength and resilience that gradually build up and enable the person to overcome obstacles.


The lyrics also highlight the importance of self-awareness and reflection. "Smooth out the creases, then you'll see" implies that the person needs to take the time to reflect on their life and address any issues they may have. By doing so, they can become whole again and not be broken. It encourages the listeners to listen to themselves, to face the reality, and to not hide from their problems. Furthermore, the line "Through the crowded patchwork souls, move closer, closer" represents the idea that there is support available if one is willing to reach out and connect with others.
