In Patrick’s song, “Broken Record” he is depicting a sense of repeated actions for which he is then having to constantly explain himself and is tired of having to do so which he then states that he feels like he is a broken record
[Verse 1]
This is a sunny sky, this is a starry night
This is an afternoon I'll spend inside your arms, held tight
This is a question mark, this is a final thought
This is a happy ending snuck into the epilogue
This is a separate building, this is the journey there
This is the scenic route, this is your messy hair
This is a promise kept, an honored lesson, taught it to you
Through the monumental light alive inside your armor suit, and
This is the reason I've been shaking when I speak
Always terribly afraid to make mistakes and make you leave
It's a shame I'm scared of heights, 'cause when you sweep me off my feet
I can feel the ground beneath me start to sink into the sea
I can feel the clouds above me coming closer to my touch
I can almost taste the Heavens, but compared to you it's much
The same as everything else, another book on a shelf
It's just too hard to explain, so I'm repeating myself, like
[Chorus]
This is a broken record, this is a broken record
This is a broken record, you'll always know me better
This is a broken record, this is a broken record
This is a broken record, so I'll be yours forever
[Verse 2]
This is the celebration, this is the party hat
This is the cellophane in which my heart is wrapped
And I'm peeling it back, 'cause I've been feeling the love
This is absolute bliss, this can fit like a glove
This is peace on the Earth, this is me, what it's worth
I'm not completely sure, but, still this-
This here's the final draft, this is an epitaph
For every negative emotion on a separate path and
This is the safest feeling ever to be felt
It's a message in the morning that intends to make you melt
And honestly, it's my magnum opus, this is a storybook
Where all the illustrations have a super-friendly look
A cordial shook hand at an important event
With stainless steel silverware and a porcelain dish
It's the weight of the pull inside of a torrent of fish
A metaphor used precisely to make it more than it is
[Chorus/Outro]
This is a broken record, this is a broken record
This is a broken record, you'll always know me better
This is a broken record, this is a broken record
This is a broken record, so I'll be yours forever
This is a broken record, this is a broken record
This is a broken record, you'll always know me better
This is a broken record, this is a broken record
This is a broken record, so I'll be yours forever
