Song Meaning of “Broken” by David Nevue
‘Broken’ is a somber, reflective song about struggling with personal undesirables, and how to come to terms with them. It personifies certain emotions and elements of life, like a broken heart, disappointment, and the feeling of not quite fitting in.
The narrator is trying to come to terms with the fact that life is difficult and he can’t escape from the feelings of failure and sadness. He is trying to accept that what he has is enough, even if it’s not perfect. He acknowledges that he can never go back to an easier time and has to make the best of the situation he finds himself in. He knows he can’t force people to love him, and he can’t make things turn out how he wants them to, but he can find joy and be content with who he is and the things he already has.
The song is ultimately a reminder to appreciate life for its imperfections, and to accept that life doesn’t always turn out how we plan. The last verse is a plea to start healing and to start rebuilding the broken elements of life, to find the strength to move on and to keep believing in oneself and the possibilities of the future.
