Broken Machine

Story Behind The Song

A person wakes up to find that their life is a lie, surrounded by criminals, connivers and cheats. They begin the process of trying to find something real, but soon find that it's harder than they though it would be. The person delves deeply into truth and decides that the pursuit of truth and happiness is worth more than anything else on earth.

Song Description

Waking up your inner spiritual self and coming to terms with things that you don't like about yourself and the world, and then committing to changing those things no matter what the cost. It's also a social commentary on the obstacles to peace that society puts in its own way and the stubbornness of those that refuse to change because of fear.

Lyrics

Branches have found their own way
Into the crevice of the day
Seek the mother's shelter to believe
Protected by a cast of empty thieves

When taking chances on yourself
Try to take it easy for a spell
Images that pass you on your way
Scenes you remember from yesterday

Abandon the bum and broken machine
Reminders of what could have been

Wild and drifting moments take you away
Into the labarynth where you stay
Time to leave familiar canopies
Whether the weather is rough to seize

Abandon the bum and broken machine
Reminders of what could have been
Abandon the bum and broken machine
Reminders of what could have been
