Rod Stewart – In A Broken Dream Lyrics 11 years ago
I believe that ‘in a broken dream’ is about people who live life ‘lightly’.
People who don’t commit to anything, who don’t plan ahead, they just live for themselves, in the moment.
“Everyday I spend my time, Drinkin' wine, Feelin' fine”
Drinking everyday, thinking it makes them happy.
“Don't push your love too far, Your wounds won't leave a scar”
These people are scared to commit, they’ll choose one night stands over a relationship, for example.
“I sit here in my lonely room” brings the harsh reality that while they have no one to hurt them (like they may have been in the past) it’s because they simply have no one.

“On the pad before eyes
Paper cries,
Tellin' lies
The promises you gave
From the grave
Of a broken heart”
This could mean a few things, perhaps love letters from the ex, or perhaps as far as marriage vows.

I believe it serves as a warning to those mentioned above, as well as being a damn good song lol
