Discover the story of the song > Vaporize – Broken Bells

The song talks about a person (he) who once dreamed of living differently than everyone else, but now feels stuck in a typical life. He realizes he's wasting time and wants to break free from the same old lies society tells him. The lyrics encourage him to make a change before it's too late, to feel more alive and escape before he fades away. The protagonist admits he's lost and doesn't know which way to go, but the song encourages him and others to try.
