Through Broken Glass
The Arkitecht Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flow, you will find
Paradox, your birth mark
The road ahead is cruel but you must never resign
Everybody has a tag behind their back
That make them part
Of a crusade agaisnt their kind,
Owned by trends, the trends of creed
That you don't need
In you I see what I am not
I cannot recognize my thoughts in my own keen.
And I wonder,
Will you have a glance
From up high?
The universe conceived in fragments,
A view through broken glass.
Rulers in our own lost confinement,
It's time to
Segregation fits us all,
We stride against the wall,
And watch for flaws instead of merging with the crowd;
That makes us strong and fight the bondage we allow.
And I wonder,
Will you have a glance?
The universe conceived in fragments,
A view through broken glass.
Rulers of our own lost confinement,
It's time to awake
To awake...
The song "Through Broken Glass" by The Arkitecht presents a message of hope amidst the struggles of life. The various lines of the song ponder different aspects of the human condition, such as the doubts and paradoxes of youth, the pressure to conform to trends and labels, and the tendency towards segregation and self-isolation. However, the overarching message encourages listeners to keep pushing forward despite the challenging road ahead.
The opening lines acknowledge the doubts and uncertainties of youth, likening them to an "endless sea." The song then advises listeners to keep flowing forward, even though the road ahead may seem cruel and discouraging. The following lines speak to the pressure to conform to labels and trends, warning against being owned by them. Instead, the song encourages listeners to look within themselves and recognize their own unique qualities.
The chorus presents a view of the universe as being fragmented, as though seen through broken glass. This imagery symbolizes the challenges and imperfections of life, yet the song encourages listeners to rise above them and become rulers of their own lives. The song then ends with a call to action, urging listeners to "awake" and seize control of their lives.
