Cover art for Girl With Broken Wings lyrics by Manchester Orchestra

I can really relate to this song, all and all. I have two thoughts about it though, i feel like either she is doing drugs to feel and escape or using sex as a feeling and escape.But i think more on drugs and depression. And in her room, she will slide down the bed and try to fly, and she will fall once again for the feeling and as he grabs her brown hair, she is faking that the feeling he gives her is real as the floor underneath the bed is breaking she will finish what she starts with "i love you."

This line really makes me think of sex, but again shes is underneath the bed, possible high on drugs, loving the monster that is taking her. and then this part reminds me of drug withdrawels. so from her head to her toes, nervous hands and runny nose, all of this just for one night of feeling and in her ears she will hear all the things that hide her fears of dying young and making plans for the future.

i just feel like its a depressd girl struggling to grasp life. Bad shit has happened to her and she just doesnt want to live anymore cause she cant feel anythng for her depression is so strong so she uses drugs and cutting to feel again. And then she just gives up and possibly chooses death over life.

I get the feeling that the song is referring to both sex AND drugs.

"so from her head to her toes, nervous hands and runny nose, all of this just for one night of feeling"

I think this is also describing withdrawal symptoms. or possibly even symptoms of the drugs themselves.

"and as he grabs her brown hair, she is faking that the feeling he gives her is real as the floor underneath the bed is breaking she will finish what she starts with 'i love you.'"

This really just sounds like a sexual encounter....
