I love music because you can take the same song and get so many different interpretations.īut, with this one… Mine seems to be a bit different than other peoples. I see where the whole Jesus thing is coming from… but then again I don’t see it in this song. Maybe it’s because I’m not so much of a religious person, or maybe it’s because I’ve already formed a different opinion on the story behind the song. Maybe that inspired him to write the song… But really, I don’t see how it would be about getting a kidney transplant. It’s about a broken heart… not kidney… Maybe I just don’t see where you guys are going with this. So, this was one of my favorite songs off the new cd… So I formed a little story in my head right off the bat. I saw it as there was something that hurt him, and he still hadn’t gotten over it. Like maybe a recent break up, or a loss of someone close.

Something that would have his mind a jumble and his feeling all bent out of shape.Īnyways. Going along… Somebody (most likely a girl) comes into his life and is able to break down those walls he put up around himself. In the end, she basically becomes his anchor, if you will, and gives him hope to carry on. Ok… Maybe it could be about his friend in the hospital and him getting over it… But I don’t see this song really as him in his shoes… and getting a kidney. It can be shaped and formed to fit so many different stories! Ok… Well… Maybe in some out of the box way it’s his friends point of view of him going through the ordeal and somebody nursing him back to himself… I donno. It can be shaped and formed to fit so many different stories! Reason: I like what Jason Wade did with this song. I guess I see the kidney transplant thing makes sense. Without the engine and the worry that make us run. 'the broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight'Īnalysis: when you're awaiting something so drastic, a procedure that can make a different between life and death, time seems like the most nontrivial thing in the world. Like broken clocks and ephemeral songs, we would like to be. Meaning Behind the Song Broken Halos was co-written by Stapleton and Mike.

You feel every second of each minute because you're anxious of what's to come. Seeing the number four, especially three times in a row on the clock or. now that the clock, or 'time' is broken, you're more at ease. 'and i am here still waiting, though i still have my doubts'Īnalysis: involving yourself in something like this, getting close to someone who might not make it, that's scary and requires a lot of security. he's doubting putting himself close to the person in the situation. 'i'm falling apart, i'm barely breathing.'Īnalysis: paralleling himself with his friend, he's weakening so much, but at the end of the tunnel there is light, 'there is healing' but he wants to be there for his friend, so he's staying, although he's damaging internally.

'the broken locks were a warning, you got inside my head, i tried by best to be guarded, i'm an open book instead'Īnalysis: again, having to do with his uncertainty of involving himself on someone he may soon lose forever.
