about

Sometimes you reach a point in interpersonal relationships where you can't go on, you don't have the strength to keep trying to fix something. And of course it is the course of life that some things have to come to an end, finally break. But it is also important to first try to put the broken pieces together again into something beautiful. To learn from it, to grow.

Maria Basel talks about this process in her song "Broken", which has been allowed to show its enormous melancholic power in her live set for some time now.

lyrics

You don’t give me permission, no.
Don‘t ever blame me for it.
Should have never followed you.
Always thought that I could hold up my borders.

You convinced me that I was small
though I was the one who carried you.
Don’t you dare to give me the fault
and tell me it should weigh heavily on my shoulders.

What do you want me to do?
I am just broken so are you.
Where do you want me to go?
I am lost just like you, you know.
What do you want me to see?
Long ago I’ve lost all my belief.
What do you want me to do?
I am just broken, so are you.

If I could turn back time I wouldn’t mind.
You didn’t listen, two years have gone missing.
Didn’t give me anything at all
still reminded me of what I owed you.
Can’t believe what I have been through.
Nothing ever could shift my thoughts of you.
Draw a lesson from all your flaws.
Draw a line and never cross it any more.

Mhh
I’m just broken, so are you.
I’m just broken, so are you.

What do you want me to do?
I am just broken so are you.
Where do you want me to go?
I am lost just like you, you know.
What do you want me to see?
Long ago I’ve lost all my belief.
What do you want me to do?
I am just broken, so are you.
