PARAMORE

- We Are Broken Lyrics

I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
And with my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong

My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeah

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence?
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
'Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice

And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war, we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence?
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me
And I'll take the truth at any cost

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

What is the meaning behind We Are Broken lyrics?


When we think about what all of this might truly mean, Paramore's 'We Are Broken' is a lamentation on the fractured world and the desire to recapture the lost purity and togetherness. The 'arms like towers' metaphor illustrates the strong and resolute love that is necessary to bring back the fractured and the promised world. We are broken lyrics primarily highlight reflection, angst, love, inspiration, and despair. Simultaneously the song points out the necessity of brokenness and healing, shelter and safety, truth and free will, and conflict. The text speaks of fragility, seeking refuge, and the yearning to return innocence, but it is probably a mature audience that will get the most out of it. The lyrics are not crude but deal with feelings and slightly abstract themes that may require adult supervision for very young ears.
