Broken
lund Lyrics

Will you end my pain?
Asking someone to end their emotional pain and suffering.

Will you take my life?
Asking someone to take their life away and end it completely.

Will you bleed me out?
Asking someone to drain all the blood out of their body, most likely a metaphor for feeling drained of energy and life.

Will you hang me out to dry?
Asking someone to abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves.

Will you take my soul in the midnight rain?
Asking someone to take their soul, their essence, during a time of sadness and confusion.

While I'm falling apart
Describing a state of emotional chaos or ruin.

While I'm going
Going where, exactly, is unclear but it may be a metaphor for dealing with difficult emotions or facing tough situations.

Can you break my bones?
Asking someone if they are capable of doing physical harm or causing physical pain.

Will you tear my skin?
Asking someone to inflict physical pain and damage, possibly seeking a way to externalize their own internal pain.

Can you taste my lust?
Asking someone if they can experience and understand their own sexual desires and impulses.

Can you feel my sin?
Asking someone if they can understand and empathize with their deep feelings of guilt and shame.

See I'm a waste of life
Expressing self-hatred and feelings of worthlessness.

I should just kill myself
Considering suicide as a solution to their pain and distress.

Yeah, I could slit my wrists
Thinking about self-harm as a way to deal with pain and anxiety.

But it really wouldn't help
Acknowledging that self-harm and suicide are not helpful or productive solutions to their emotional problems.

Wouldn't fix my issues
Understanding that suicide or self-harm would not actually solve their problems, but rather make them worse.

Or change your mind
Realizing that ending their own life would not change the feelings or opinions of those around them.

'Cause I broke your heart
Acknowledging that they have hurt someone else and feel guilty for it.

And you buried mine
Feeling betrayed and hurt by the person they have hurt.

Now I'm 6 feet deep and I can't breathe
Feeling trapped and suffocated by their own pain and guilt.

I got dirt in my eyes
Feeling overwhelmed and blinded by their own distress.

And blood on my sleeves
Describing a physical sign of self-harm or violence.

But I dig my way up
Persisting and struggling to overcome their problems and pain.

Through these roots and leaves
Perhaps a metaphor for going through the complexities and twists and turns of life.

So I can get some air
Desperately seeking a way to breathe and find some relief from their emotional pain.

So I can finally breathe
Craving the ability to feel relaxed and at peace.

And now I'm on my knees
A metaphor for powerlessness and submission.

Oh baby begging please
Imploring someone to help them deal with their problems and pain.

We cannot choose the things that will happen to us
A statement of acceptance that some things in life are beyond our control.

But we can choose the attitude we will take towards
Acknowledging that we can choose how we react and respond to the things that happen to us.

Anything that happens to us
Stressing the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of life's challenges.

Goodbye
Saying farewell and leaving their problems and pain behind.

Don't you miss me when I'm gone
Suggesting that they are the only ones affected by their problems and when they are gone, no one will miss them or notice their absence.

'Cause you're the fucking reason that I'm not around
Blaming someone else for their problems and pain and placing responsibility on them for their absence.

Bitch, you're the fucking reason that I'm not around
Using derogatory language to express intense anger and blaming someone else for their problems and absence.
