Broken
by Seether feat. Amy Lee
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore
Basically what intrigued me in this song is how differently people view it. One person I know sees it as, of course, a dejected break-up song. Another one views it as a song for unrequited love. And the answer that I found weird and disturbing was it was a stoner longing for drugs. Okay then.... But for me, this song doesn't necessarily tackle your boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever, but vaguely a loved one. If I was to dedicate this song, I'd dedicate this to a person I met recently. He isn't a boyfriend (don't worry, Ms. Platon, :P) and it's not a song expressing my unrequited love and I'm definitely not a stoner. I'd offer this song to Lola Domeng, the person I met during our outreach activity a while ago. She told me her life story, in which I cried buckets, and even though it made me really sad, it made me think how lucky I was. I think her sharing was right on time, since I was feeling pretty pissed off at the direction my life was going, but after hearing her open up I felt horrible thinking how cursed my life is. I really want to express my gratitude to Lola Domeng, but unfortunately they don't have computers there and I doubt she'd even like the song I'd chosen for her.
All in all, a certain form of media might just express a single idea, but different people interpret it differently. That's why the media can be rather a double-edged sword. It can portray good ideas which can me misunderstood by others. We really have no control of this and all I have to say is that we got to keep our values on check.
