Broken From The Start

Well I have yet to really sit down and analyze the song all the way through but what a beautiful one it is.

I believe this song is about time and eternity, childhood/innocense and reality. He makes the point that life is short and it contradicts itself because every second one is living one is also dying. Like a kid grows and meets reality we too realize that as we get older we are almost done. We grow, fall in love, have our hearts broken, love again go to college, form families and grow old only to realize that we cant escape death, and the question of eternity is vivid before you and we cant hide inside, it all dries up and we must face the end, thus our hearts are broken. It's a great song. Amazing.

Well, this song is obviously about death. Spiritual death, and physical death. He says he can't tell the diference between life and death because as we are liveing, we are also dieing. And he mentions that when his time is up, he'll die. It's unavoidable. He mentions that everything will die on it's own. If we neglect certain roads, while traveling others, those roads will die. If we don't care for the rose, it will die sooner than later. Every choice between two options kills one, while saveing the other. We can only try to grasp and hold to the important things we know and have and hope to keep them alive as long as we can. People don't care about each other because they're souls are dead. They don't realize the importance of life until it's gone. They won't give respect until you die. You can try to hide your self deep inside, but you'll lose yourself eventualy. It will dry up and die. You WILL brake hearts whether you want to or not. Because you heart was broken and dead from the start. It's a sad life we must live and a sad world will live in. But this song makes me thankful that we can find true life in Jesus through His death on the cross. Eternal life. Spiritual life. Even painful truth has benefits.
