Deflecting Ghosts’ latest single, “Broken,” hits hard with both emotion and power, tackling the struggle between denial and self-awareness in a way that feels personal yet relatable to many. This isn’t just another rock song, it takes you on a journey through the challenges of addiction and confusion with a courage that refuses to look away.
“Broken” grabs your attention and won’t let go. The heavy, gritty guitars set the tone for a story filled with pain, but I determined not to be overwhelmed by it. Deflecting Ghosts expertly balances intense energy with moments of profound openness, creating a sound that reflects the chaos of facing one’s struggles after a long time. The driving beat feels like a heartbeat, relentless and tied to the weight of confronting the truth. What sets “Broken” apart is its unique perspective. The lyrics come from someone who is observing their downfall, which adds an element to the story. This creates a sense of distance, making the self-reflection feel more like a commentary on a life that’s hanging in the balance. It’s a moment of reckoning where the fight against addiction and personal demons collides with the harsh reality of wanting to give up. The song doesn’t shy away from the pain, instead, it embraces it, turning openness into something intense and impactful.
“Broken” captures a powerful journey from denial to acceptance. Deflecting Ghosts confronts this transition with honesty and grit. There’s something powerful about hearing someone openly share their struggles, including the confusion, fear, and moments of despair. Yet, even amid all this, there’s a glimmer of hope, a belief that even when we feel broken, there’s still a path forward.
