Built around Realizing you're stronger after being broken by someone and embracing the scars. Echo Park's neon-lit synth palette carries the concept through rock that rewards repeat listens. "Thought I'd never find a reason to walk through that door" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs bittersweet, triumphant, emotional. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
You left me in pieces on the kitchen floor
Thought I'd never find a reason to walk through that door
But broken things let the light pour in
And the cracks you made are where I begin
I wore your apology like a hand-me-down coat
Too heavy for my shoulders till it had me by the throat
[pre-chorus]
You tried to make me small enough to leave
But I outgrew the box you built for me
[chorus]
I'm better broken than I ever was with you
Every scar a lesson every wound a breakthrough
You can keep the version of me that you once knew
I'm better broken I'm better brand new
I'm finally better without you
[verse 2]
I used to flinch at every slamming door
Now I'm the one who's walking out and coming back for more
More life more laughing more mornings in the sun
More of everything you said I didn't deserve to become
The friends you pulled me from are standing right back here
They held the mirror up and said look who reappeared
[pre-chorus]
You tried to make me small enough to leave
But I outgrew the box you built for me
[chorus]
I'm better broken than I ever was with you
Every scar a lesson every wound a breakthrough
You can keep the version of me that you once knew
I'm better broken I'm better brand new
I'm finally better without you
[bridge]
Gold fills the cracks of shattered pottery
That's kintsugi that's the art in me
You broke me thinking I would stay in bits
But I'm a masterpiece assembled from your wreckage
A masterpiece
[chorus]
I'm better broken than I ever was with you
Every scar a lesson every wound a breakthrough
You can keep the version of me that you once knew
I'm better broken I'm better brand new
I'm finally better without you
[outro]
Better broken better whole
Better free than in your control
I'm better broken
Yeah I'm better now
