When Broken Is Easily Fixed

I agree with the other comments. I just wanted to add that "I can resist everything except temptation" is from Oscar Wilde.

wow i frickin love this song... cant believe im the first

to me this song is just about a guy who tries but no matter what he does he messes up... or at least what it means to me.... cuz the songs just like me

this is an amazing song..i have no idea who doing the co vocals but that dude pretty dope...

I totally agree with you blew_flame the song makes me feel that way too.

I think this is about a guy who loves someone but wished he didnt "I wish I could never love you" and no matter how hard he tries, he can't move on. Like Everything that the girl does or says just breaks his heart type thing. I dont know, just my opinion

to me this song is about him loving her so much and never being good enough or always failing (promise you and let you down, follow me, lead you astray) and how he wishes he wouldnt love her because he breaks her heart to much

The constant use of contradictions is what brings my attention to this song the most. "promise you and let you down," "follow me, lead you astray," etc. It only to adds to the impact the music and Shane's screaming make, as well as the the intensification the entire song wonderfully portrays.

Irony is such a powerful medium if used correctly, and I think Silverstein used it quite well.

The lyrics "I can resist everything except temptation" and "so ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed but a human hurt can last a lifetime" give me a feeling that's rather inexplicable to me.

this song is amazing!!!!....I agree with mns504 on the meaning...this song just gets me everytime i hear it...my fav part is when Shane says this: "So ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed. But a human hurt can last a lifetime."

That is soo true! ..Shane Told=pure genius

this song is so quotable. pretty much every line in this song is so meaningful to me. i think hes talking about just typical relationships now days are so full of contradictions and dissappointments. when you have someone to love that is what you are supposed to do, love.. but now all the 'gf bf', 'love you forever' stuff is shit. everyone gets hurt in the relationship. and this is my favorite part

hah oops.. here we go. "so ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed but a human hurt can last a lifetime"

like the saying goes love hurts.

"rust or decay the fire or the flame"

this is kind of like one choice disguised as two. or like picking your poison, meaning that now days it seems like you have no choice but to have a relationship that sucks.

"you and i will lead the path to change pave the way"

but hes saying that there is more than one choice and they can make their own path. aww..
