In a poignant exploration of toxic love, this song delves into the complexity of a relationship that is both passionate and destructive. The repeated phrase "dancing on the broken glass" serves as an apt metaphor for persisting in a harmful relationship, highlighting the danger and pain involved. The lyrics express regret over the couple's inability to prevent their love from turning into conflict, despite their shared potential for something better. This self-destructive pattern is emphasized through phrases like "destroying everything we ever touched". The song ends on a note of melancholic acceptance, suggesting that although they are aware of their doomed dynamic, they choose to continue 'dancing', or engaging in their dysfunctional relationship.
Broken Glass
Lyrics
We were so close to something right
But we're stupid, but we're stupid, but we're stupid
We could turn love into a fight
Over nothing, over nothing, over nothing
And the only thing we had in common with each other
Was destroying everything we ever touched
So cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
And all that's left is smoke and ash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
'Cause when you're high, you're bound to crash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Cheers to us
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
We could've done this perfectly
But we're useless, but we're useless, but we're useless
Nobody does a tragedy like you and me
'Cause we're ruthless, 'cause we're ruthless, 'cause we're ruthless
And the only thing we had in common with each other
Was destroying everything we ever touched
So cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
And all that's left is smoke and ash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
'Cause when you're high, you're bound to crash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
And cheers to us
Let's keep dancing, dancing
Let's keep on dancing, yeah
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
