Broken By You (feat. McFly)

Fresno's song 'Broken By You,' featuring McFly, delves into the tumultuous and often paradoxical nature of love and relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both electrifying and destructive, capturing the essence of being irresistibly drawn to someone who brings chaos into one's life. The opening lines, 'I never knew it was electric touch / I never knew I was on the run,' suggest a sudden and overwhelming realization of the intensity of the relationship. This love is described as a force that defies logic, making sense only in its nonsensical nature, 'It makes sense when it don’t make sense.' The protagonist acknowledges their role as a 'magnet for chaos and sex,' indicating a self-awareness of their attraction to tumultuous situations.

The chorus, 'Broken by you / I’ve been broken by you,' is a poignant admission of the emotional damage inflicted by this relationship. The repetition of 'broken by you' emphasizes the depth of the hurt and the cyclical nature of the pain. The lyrics also explore the idea of losing control, both physically and emotionally, 'I'm the reason you’ve got no control / Of your body, of your soul.' This loss of control is a central theme, highlighting the overpowering influence of the relationship on the individual's sense of self.

The song also incorporates Portuguese lyrics, adding a layer of cultural richness and personal touch. Lines like 'Te sintonizo em todas as TV’s / De vez em quando eu quebro a tela só pra ver' convey a sense of obsession and longing, as the protagonist tunes into every channel to catch a glimpse of their love. The imagery of breaking the screen to see if the love they learned to cherish is still there is both powerful and heartbreaking. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and acceptance, 'It’s like I got another day on earth,' suggesting that despite the pain, the protagonist continues to endure and find meaning in their existence.

'Broken By You' is a raw and honest exploration of the complexities of love, capturing the beauty and pain of being deeply connected to someone who brings both joy and chaos into one's life.
