We Are Broken

I think this is a song to the youth-- us teenagers, the new generation you know. Nowadays we live so different from before... so different that nowadays we've seemed to lose our innocence. Not the goody-two-shoes nice and naive innocence most people think when actually they're just blinded by that myth. What I mean is like the kind of innocence that few of us hold today that makes us be able to believe in ourselves and not be ashamed of what we believe in-- that kind of pure ignorance of what other people think, you know. As with little children, and you can see that in them. You can see that passion in them when they want something, they either have to get it or not. They'd always find a way to get to their goal or what they want, urged by the drive that's inside them. They go for what they want directly, not caring about what others have to say about them, and if they don't get what they want, they learn to sit back and just happily accept it.

Like, the kind of innocence few of us nowadays have that lets you be curious and imaginative and open to many new things and contented with yourself rather than trying to prove so much to the world like trying to sound wiser than you have to be. Us kids nowadays, you know... we're such smart-asses and we think we know too much already. And some of us, without even knowing, even harm ourselves that way.

And sometimes, we also get lost in all of that, that 'we just want to be home'.

Well, it has a lot of meanings, and everyone's entitled to their own perception of the song. It could be speaking in a spiritual way with possible relations to God and all that, but if so, speaking of God and your thoughts and what you've seen is practical in a sense, too.

This is a good song for me, and it made me cry. :p

And is it just me or does the beginning sound like she's singing in church or something... makes me think of a funeral, too. Which, when thinking of that, makes the song quite heavy to listen to.
