Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's hard for me to speak
and your words mean less now when you talk to me
all I ever wanted was rushed
gave into my addictions when all I wanted was love
a few words spoken, but I'm still broken
(broken)
you left me bruised and broken
I stand alone on this lonely road
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
and every time and every time that I look in my mirror I give right into you
broken people
like you, like me
we are the ones who can't ever seem to carry whole
for all the way
with all our holy peace
we know we sleep but why do we stay
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
I stand alone on this lonely road
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
and every time and every time that I look in my mirror I give right into you
I search for a new light
it means our time
throw caution to the wind
every time they try to box me in
I search for a new light
it means our time
throw caution to the wind
when they box me in
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
I stand alone on this lonely road
you left me bruised and broken
my heart is black and blue
and every time and every time that I look in my mirror I give right into you
The lyrics of Slaves's song The Hearts of Our Broken Ft. Garret Rapp touch on themes of heartbreak, addiction, and the struggle to move on. The singer's voice is raw with emotion as he sings about the pain of a failed relationship, where words have lost their meaning and he is left feeling bruised and broken. Despite this pain, he acknowledges that broken people like himself and his former partner cannot seem to carry the weight of their past mistakes and must learn to move on.
The chorus is a repetition of the haunting line, "you left me bruised and broken, my heart is black and blue." The imagery of physical pain is used to describe the emotional scars and the aftermath of a broken love. The singer then describes the constant reflection and introspection that he must endure in order to heal. He recognizes the temptation to give in to the familiar patterns of his addiction but chooses to search for a new light, to throw caution to the wind, and to break free from the box he has been placed in.
The song's powerful lyrics are paired with a driving beat and intense instrumentation that mirror the singer's emotions. It is a song about the struggle to move on, but it is also a song about strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
