So here goes,
One last letter now. One last attempt to make sense.
Who have I been writing to? I’m not sure anymore.
What have I been trying to accomplish?
It’s a mystery, I guess. Self-made secrecy.
Things get cloudy and now all these stories and
The struggle as an undercurrent, both get blurry by the minute both get blurrier.
So, which voice is this then that I’ve been writing in? Is it my own or his?
Has there ever been a difference between them at all?
I don’t know I don’t know.
One last desperate plea. One last verse to sing.
One last laugh track to accompany the comedy.
Have I been losing it completely? Losing sanity?
Or has it been fabricated, fashioned by the worst of me?
I know I knocked the table over because I watched the jar break
and I’ve been trying to repair it every single stupid day
But won’t the cracks still show no matter how well it’s assembled
can I ever just decide to let it die and let you go?
All my motives and every single narrative below reflects
that moment when it broke and will I never let it go
No matter what? Now I am throwing all the shards away,
discarding every fragment, and fumbling uncertain towards a Curtain call
that no one wants to happen,
that no ones going to clap for at all, but that still has to be.

What is the meaning behind A Broken Jar lyrics?
When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, La Dispute's 'A Broken Jar' unveils a very personal -although not very pleasant- introspective journey of self-questioning and scrutiny of one's identity and deeds. One of the significant literary techniques the band employs to depict this existential internally conflicted battle among their different personalities is the symbolism of the broken jar. In fact, the jar, which is in a continuous cycle of getting broken and repaired, represents the fight taking place inside the artist. It also conveys the inner conflict when making the choice between keeping the former lives or letting them go entirely, and thus maybe facing an uncertain future by herself. There is no doubt a heavy emphasis of reflection, heartbreak, anxiety, sadness, and nostalgia on the drawn-out lyrics of a broken jar. Nevertheless, Self-reflection and identity, loss and letting go, struggle and uncertainty are the major themes the song not only identifies with but also signifies their necessity. The lyrics talking about the confusion, mental struggle and emotional turmoil might be a bit too much for children under 13. The words and themes point towards a level of difficulty and introspection that may indeed call for some parental guidance. ✔️
