Song Meaning of “Broken Bones” by Dokken
Broken Bones by Dokken is a powerful and emotion-filled song about heartache and loss. The lyrics tell the story of a relationship that has gone awry, and the devastation of seeing something so special break apart. The lyrics become increasingly desperate as the singer begs for salvation and for the other person to see what they have lost. The chorus illustrates the utter hopelessness of the situation; “Oh, broken bones, they can’t take the pain away, we can’t go on this way”. The song is a heartbreaking plea for understanding from someone who may never understand and it is a testament to the pain and heartache that can be inflicted by broken relationships.
