Perfectly Broken

Banners' song 'Perfectly Broken' delves into the profound beauty of human imperfections and the transformative power of love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels flawed and incomplete, struggling with their own sense of worth. The opening lines, 'I'm back at the start, falling apart in the old ways / I wish I was flawless, I'm not,' set the stage for a journey of self-acceptance and healing. The protagonist's life begins to change when they meet someone who sees beyond their imperfections, someone who is 'perfectly broken' in a way that complements their own brokenness.

The chorus, 'Fall into me, everyone's broken and I got this missing piece / Honestly, you fit me like no-one, you're perfectly broken for me,' highlights the idea that everyone has their own struggles and imperfections. However, these flaws do not diminish their value; instead, they make them unique and human. The song suggests that true connection and love come from accepting and embracing these imperfections, finding someone whose broken pieces fit perfectly with your own.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of self-doubt and the negative thoughts that can plague one's mind. 'You've been in the dark believing your thoughts / When they tell you you're anything less than you are / But that's just not true 'cause all of the scars / And the bruises, they're what make you human,' serves as a reminder that our scars and bruises are part of what makes us who we are. They are not something to be ashamed of but rather something to be embraced. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and acceptance, encouraging listeners to find beauty in their imperfections and to seek out connections that celebrate their true selves.
