Song Meaning of “Broken Bones” by Anti-Flag
‘Broken Bones’ by Anti-Flag is a song about personal growth and survival. It is about standing strong in the face of adversity, and using pain and suffering to gains strength and power. The lyrics “You wonder why I’m so brave, you wonder why I don’t break” reflects the idea that one cannot be broken by the physical and emotional pain they experience, and that it is possible to go through pain and still remain strong. The chorus of the song speaks to the idea that sometimes, it is only through broken bones and physical pain that one can gain a greater understanding of oneself and therefore become stronger. The song acknowledges that pain is a part of life, but also encourages listeners to find a way to use it to their advantage and make themselves even stronger than before.
