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 holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lifehouse/broken.html ]
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain is the healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hangin' on to the words you say
You said that I will, will be ok
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, having forgot 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 holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm barely holdin' on to you
“broken” is more than a song title, it’s a feeling that is depicted perfectly. It tells about hardships humans go through periodically throughout their life, while explaining that there will always be someone to put you back together when you’re “falling apart. ” “broken” doesn’t specify who “you” is; this allows your imagination to decipher whether it’s god, a family member, or someone you love. As long as it’s someone in your life worth “holding on” for, perseverance will not be a dilemma. The remark “the broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight” tells us that it’s better to fool ourselves into believing that time has stopped rather than to continue being broken. This remark is also used to contrast with the following remark stating “in the pain there is healing. In your name i find meaning” telling us that every cloud if not silver, has at the least a bronze lining.
Woohoo lee (:

`its like a survival song, about life... Its not always walking to straight path, life is full of obstacles.. Its just building your self after every trial.. Pain is not permanent, but it marks a purpose...

Lost god during growing up and lost my dad in a car crash. Promises from a friend and god that it all would be ok, lost so called friend. Found god in my fall and am holding on to promises and wont let go. God brings friend back, soon perminantly. Losing mom and brothers to drugs and alcohol abuse. Holding onto god.

Broken remembers me broken heart alone, no one likes her/him bad time like old age with full of pains which ends to death this is really sad, but its part of life we should follow the line , no eternity!

This song was really helped me through a hard breakup. I want to thank lifehouse for writing it and putting it out there. There is so many things this song could mean. It just dependson the person.
It could be about either christ or a relationship with a significant other because after all, christianity is about a--get this--relationship with christ.
I totally agree with iceangel... That's what it means to me too. There's strength and comfort in christ through the worst times in life... Thank goodness for that:)
