Lyric discussion by Wraieth 

Cover art for Existence lyrics by August Burns Red

My personal take on line "Your hurt, your broken. That's alright. This might be what it takes to wake you up" can be applied in life. What those words meant to me was almost like a 'what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger' type of thing. Also sometimes people are so wrapped up in a personal frame of mind that leads to negativity, and when something life changing happens to leave them "Hurt and broken" they start seeing things with a new perspective. "It makes us who we are" meaning everything is an experience that shapes us in a way. Good or bad, everything has the possibility of a positive outcome in the long run. Because we can learn something in everything we do, and experience. The moral of the story.

My Interpretation
