Strong Arm Broken
SEVENDUST
About This Project
Strong Arm Broken is such a powerful and moving song. This track is about self-motivation and not letting one bad thing destroy everything. It’s about personal endeavor and how you adapt to challenges. Do you roll over or do you punch it in the mouth and say “Bring it!”? I think of stories of people prevailing through hardships—even with handicaps—but never slowing down or letting up. When you’re down by 3 with 2 minutes left, keep going! This translates to sports, fighting a disease, battling a challenge at work, or struggling with everyday life, don’t ever give up. Don’t ever let someone or something get the best of you. You are better than that.
This track is the closer on the 2010 album Cold Day Memory, which reunited the original lineup of the band. All members pretty much help sing this song in a full-force scream and clean chorus. I love it and I hope you will too. As a side note, go see Sevendust preform live. They’ve been one of my favorite live bands for the past 15+ years. These guys are seriously one of the most genuine and hardest working bands out there. Much respect.

The stare that cuts through me
Burning a hole in me
Giving the answers I’ve been looking for
Your new found love
For kicking me when I’m down
Has given me the hate to
Finally let you know
I don’t believe anything you ever told me
You lost your soul
Take another chance?
It’s the last time you’ll fuck me
Strong arm broken (broken)
There will be no words spoken
Speaking Nothing
Strong arm broken (Strong arm broken)
Strong arm broken
You sold out instantly
Killing my sympathy
Biting the hand that fed
The dog so long
That black heart hiding
Behind your hollow eyes
Will never save you
From the place you’re headed for
I can’t believe that I ever let you hurt me-
You lost control
Time to say goodbye
It’s the last time you’ll fuck me
Strong arm broken (broken)
There will be no words spoken
Speaking Nothing
Strong arm broken (Strong arm broken)
Strong arm broken
Strong arm broken (broken)
There will be no words spoken
Speaking Nothing
Strong arm broken (Strong arm broken)
Strong arm broken
Strong arm broken, strong arm broken
