“damage :(” is a melancholic song about the acceptance of an emotional moment in life and the road of questioning yourself how to get out of this difficult time. In the song, Naaz tells herself to find peace and love in the damage that she feels, in order to fully accept it.
[Verse 1]
Hey, insecurity is leading the way
But it doesn't know where to go
Makes a lot of sense when you look at the name
Something I should've known
[Pre-Chorus]
Though, if I put that fire out
Will I lose my spark?
Have I reached an all-time low?
[Chorus]
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage
[Verse 2]
Hey, everything is feeling hollow and grey
That don't make sense, right?
Maybe there's beauty and something to like
If I'd turn on some bright lights
[Pre-Chorus]
Though, if I put that fire out
Will I lose my spark?
Have I reached an all-time low?
[Chorus]
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage
[Bridge]
Someday, it'll just be scars
Feel numb by the touch
When it passes as a thought
It still hits you in the heart
I hope I'll be a sweet daughter
Hope I'll become a sweet mother
Right now I'm just a winner
Queen of being bitter
[Chorus]
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage
Did I break a new record? Did I finally wreck it?
Has it gone so bad I could only accept it?
Find peace and love in the damage
Peace and love in the damage

Some songs don’t have a happy ending, and that is okay. I didn’t want to force anything positive into “Damage,” we need songs that can cry with us without telling us what to do. I fantasize about having emotional DNA, and how when you get hurt badly, the DNA can get damaged....
