Broken Lyrics
The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight Maybe it can stop tomorrow From stealing all my time And I am here still waiting Though I still have my doubts I am damaged at best Like you've already figured out I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain There is healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holding on I'm barely holding on to you The broken locks were a warning You got inside my head I tried my best to be guarded I'm an open book instead And I still see your reflection Inside of my eyes That are looking for purpose They're still looking for life I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain Is there healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holding on I'm barely holding on to you I'm hanging on another day Just to see what, you will throw my way And I'm hanging on, to the words you say You said that I will, will be okay The broken light on the freeway Left me here alone I may have lost my way now But I haven't forgotten my way home I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain There is healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holding on Barely holding on to you |

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting
though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
like you've already figured out
I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a Broken heart
That’s still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So i'm holding on
holding on
holding on
i'm barely holding on to you
the broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection
inside my eyes
that are looking for purpose
they're still looking for life
Chorus
I'm hanging on
Another day
Just to see what you will
Throw my way
And I'm hanging on
to the words you say
You said that I will
Be ok
The broken lights on the freeway
left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgotten my way home
Chrous
I'm holdin' on
(Im still holdin')x8 or so

"maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time"
"the broken locks were a warning...you got inside my head"
"i'm hanging on, another day.."
"the broken lights on the freeway, left me here alone..."
great lyrics, good song overall.

But, with this one… Mine seems to be a bit different than other peoples. Ok. I see where the whole Jesus thing is coming from… but then again I don’t see it in this song. Maybe it’s because I’m not so much of a religious person, or maybe it’s because I’ve already formed a different opinion on the story behind the song. Also… the kidney thing. It could be true. Maybe that inspired him to write the song… But really, I don’t see how it would be about getting a kidney transplant. It’s about a broken heart… not kidney… Maybe I just don’t see where you guys are going with this.
So, this was one of my favorite songs off the new cd… So I formed a little story in my head right off the bat.
I saw it as there was something that hurt him, and he still hadn’t gotten over it. Like maybe a recent break up, or a loss of someone close. Something that would have his mind a jumble and his feeling all bent out of shape.
Anyways. Going along… Somebody (most likely a girl) comes into his life and is able to break down those walls he put up around himself. In the end, she basically becomes his anchor, if you will, and gives him hope to carry on.
Ok… Maybe it could be about his friend in the hospital and him getting over it… But I don’t see this song really as him in his shoes… and getting a kidney. Ok… Well… Maybe in some out of the box way it’s his friends point of view of him going through the ordeal and somebody nursing him back to himself… I donno.
I like what Jason Wade did with this song. It can be shaped and formed to fit so many different stories!

"the broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight"
analysis: when you're awaiting something so drastic, a procedure that can make a different between life and death, time seems like the most nontrivial thing in the world. you feel every second of each minute because you're anxious of what's to come. you can't sleep. now that the clock, or "time" is broken, you're more at ease. less anxious.
"and i am here still waiting, though i still have my doubts"
analysis: involving yourself in something like this, getting close to someone who might not make it, that's scary and requires a lot of security. he's doubting putting himself close to the person in the situation. but he wants to be there for his friend, so he's staying, although he's damaging internally.
"i'm falling apart, i'm barely breathing..."
analysis: paralleling himself with his friend, he's weakening so much, but at the end of the tunnel there is light, "there is healing"
"the broken locks were a warning, you got inside my head, i tried by best to be guarded, i'm an open book instead"
analysis: again, having to do with his uncertainty of involving himself on someone he may soon lose forever. he tried to be guarded from the situation, he tried to be ambivalent and not think too much about what was at risk. but he couldn't, he's outwardly "falling apart," letting his guard down.
"broken lights on the freeway left me here alone, i may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home"
analysis: the last hurrah. he's broken, but hes growing from it, there is hope yet.

The wrenching ballad “Broken,” with a chorus that recalls the Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” came out of a trip Wade took to Nashville to visit a dear friend waiting on a kidney transplant, as once again he identifies in first person: “I’m falling apart/I’m barely breathing/With a broken heart/That’s still beating/In my pain/There is healing/In your name/I find meaning/So I’m holding on/Barely holding on to you.”

I do realize that if the artists have come out and said it was about something different, then its probably safe to believe them.
But, at the same time music is one of those wonderful arts open to interpretation and I like mine :)
I heard a short clip of this song on the show Criminal Minds and fell in love with it.
I actually did not know the song was sung by Lifehouse and assumed it was by a Christian group. And as I have been battling depression as of late, the lyrics I heard were really uplifting. I immediately related the song to Christ, and quickly searched to find out who sang it.
This song is amazing and I'm really thankful to have heard it. It's so inspirational and helps me have hope sometimes when I feel like there's none left.

The interpretation i took from is relates to an experience ive been living through for the past couple of months, having finally recovered from alot of emotional damage caused by the xwife.
it felt like it was about coming from the pain, the way i was feeling about myself, to being picked up and given the strength by another to heal, to find myself again and not being the barely feeling person i have been for so long.
each to their own eh :)
