Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd rather be destroyed
Rather go to war with a man, then ever to ever go to bed with a boy
Probably wouldn′t be no sleepless nights or fighting
No cheating, no deceiving, no lying
I knew that he would make sure that he never sees me crying
But that ain't where my heart desiring
I know I sound like a fool
But if I was in love by you,
If I was in love by you baby
I wouldn't have this broken heart to prove
What love′s posed to do, baby
If I didn′t cry these tears
I don't deserve the things you put me through
I could be adored by someone new
But I rather be destroyed by you
I don′t wanna have good luck
I'd rather loose it all
Baby your so hard to trust,
But you made it even harder not to fall
Any other guys could treat me better, won′t deny it
And often I seem to, just to try it
Then I see you????, start a riot
I'm a different kind of crazy bout you
I know I sound like a fool
But if I was in love by you,
If I was in love by you baby
I wouldn′t have this broken heart to prove
What love's posed to do, baby
If I didn't cry these tears
I don′t deserve the things you put me through
I could be adored by someone new
But I rather be destroyed by you
Heart breaker, soul snatcher, why you have to choose me
Wont let me leave
I′m your captor, oh, you best?????? set free
I need a key leave my shackles on
Oh, It seems like torture is what I want
So, please do your worst, I won't move
See if I was in love by... you
(If I was in love by you)
If I was in love by you baby
I wouldn′t have this broken heart to prove
What love's posed to do, baby
If I didn′t cry these tears
I don't deserve the things you put me through
I could be adored by someone new
But I rather be destroyed by you
TXS's song "Destroyed" is a melancholic break-up song in which the singer expresses her desire to be destroyed by her lover instead of self-destructing. The song highlights the singer's complex emotions as she grapples with the pain of a lost love. She reveals that she would rather go to war with a man than deceive herself by being with someone she does not truly love. She also confesses that even though she knows she sounds like a fool, she would still choose to be destroyed by her lover than to be adored by someone new.
Furthermore, the song's chorus emphasizes the singer's unconditional love for her partner, which seems to contradict her desire to be destroyed. The singer states that if she were truly in love with her partner, her heart would not be broken, and she would not be going through the current pain. The song speaks to the fact that even though it may be easier for the singer to move on and find someone new, she would rather endure the pain of being destroyed by the one she loves.
In summary, "Destroyed" is a poignant song that conveys the emotional complexities of heartbreak and the lengths one will go through to hold on to a love that may no longer be present.
