Anson Seabra – Broken lyrics

Anson Seabra – Broken lyrics

If you see the boy I used to be, could you tell him that I'd like to find him
And if you see the shell that's left of me, could you spare him a little kindness

'Cus I've been high and I've been low, I've spent a thousand nights alone, tryna hold on tight
And feelings come but they won't go, please won't someone take me home before I lose my mind

Am I human?
Am I flawed?
Do I deserve a shred of worth or am I just another fake, fucked up lost cause?
And am I human?
Or am I something else?
'Cus I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself

I've tried everything and anything but nothing seems to work quite like it should
Between the madness and the apathy, seems there's nothing left inside of me that's good

'Cus I've been high and I've been low, I've spent a thousand nights alone, tryna hold on tight
And feelings come but they won't go, please won't someone take me home before I lose my mind

Am I human?
Am I flawed?
Do I deserve a shred of worth or am I just another fake, fucked up lost cause?
And am I human?
Or am I something else?
'Cus I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself

--humming--

Am I human?
Am I flawed?
Do I deserve a shred of worth or am I just another fake, fucked up lost cause?
And am I human?
Or am I something else?
'Cus I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself

This song is one of the saddest, and deepest songs I have ever heard. As someone who feels this way often, it is not hard to explain what I feel this song means.
To me it is talking about someone who, as the title states, is broken. He has been beaten down by life, and overall has just been hurt too many times to count. He talks about the shell of a person that is left, and the boy he used to be. To me the boy he used to be is referencing his happier younger days, when he was unbroken. He is saying that he wants that back. He wants to get his brokenness out of the way, he wants to talk to someone and help him out of the Hell hole he is in. He wants to have someone to help mend his wounds and survive the problems he has had. He talks about "(spending) a thousand nights alone," which may or may not be true. He could be surrounded by people and just unable to talk to them. It is exceptionally easy to feel lonely around people, especially family, and to me that is what this is saying. He feels secluded from the people who say they love him, he feels like nobody cares about him and no one ever could. He asks if he is human stating that he doesn't even feel like people recognize him as one of their own race. The thing that really hit me was the line "I'm so scared and there's no one there to save me from the nightmare that I call myself," which just goes to say how afraid he is of the darkness inside of himself. Even if someone does help him out, he is afraid of being abandoned again, and left alone with his thoughts that would just sink him back in the same hole. He is afraid of being alone.

The first time I heard this song I cried like a baby. This song has such a deep meaning, and this song can mean whatever you want. To me, the part when he asks if he himself is broken? Because it's extremely hard for me personally to admit that I am broken and need help. I used to get abused and beaten constantly, ate 1 meal maybe every 3-4 days and just cut myself constantly. I never left my bed. "There's no one there, to save my from the nightmare that I call myself." This statement can not be any more true towards anyone who has struggled in their life. Feeling trapped in your own emotions and brain, is sometimes the worst thing for you. This song reminded me of all the pain i used to go through, and it helped me to realize just how far I have come in my journey. Hopefully this song has that affect on others too. Because this song gives such raw emotion and you don't often see that.

To me...this song is everything I feel mentally but cant put into words. Never had the perfect family. Had someone leave at age 15 I thought I could call my dad. I had my dad actually hate me for no reason... my brother wishes me dead.. I always wonder. "Am I flawed. What did I do to make them hate me." I'm also looked down upon in school 24/7... and I just want to ask why... I have friends from different social medias who are my family...but I constantly fear I have no one... that no one will be able to save me from myself... I always question is life even worth living... (just question it not death thoughts) Its like all I do is make mistakes... I used to be this smiling young girl... no care in the world oblivious to the fighting and arguing... to everything going on around me.. cause I always thought it was temporary and everyone would stay.. but here I am 9 years later... realizing all the shit... and how I wish I could fix it or change it... I try and help everyone when I'm the one hurting on the inside... without a word to say...

I think this song has a much deeper meaning than what others are saying. I only think this, because I'm going through a situation that i feel fits this. My father died was I was a child. It sucked. I saw my mom break, I saw my family shatrer, I saw my 'normal' childhood vanish. After that happened, I knew there was no chance of me being like other kids. My brother was 16 days old when my father passed. I think this song has to deal with the loss of someone you care about, whether because they have died, or because they have left your life. I think when he says "a thousand nights a lone" he doesn't mean literally alone, he means something big happened and no one knows how to help themselves cope, nonetheless help someone else. He's scared to be left alone with his thoughts, because he doesn't want to break anymore. He wants the boy he 'used to be', because they didn't know how bad this hurt. He's asking if he's human, because human emotions can be so overwhelming at times that it doesn't feel like you belong, it feels like you don't deserve a life
