Broken As Me - Commentary

So when we showed up here in vegas I only
Had like one chorus written and ah that was
The chorus to just as broken as me and that
Was the first song we started with and, we
Wrote that song and finished that
Song and I knew that we were onto something
Great when we… when we finished that track I
Was like "alright cool
If this is the first thing we’re gonna
We just did together like I can’t wait
To see how it all comes out"

I’m Kevin Churko, I’m one of the producers on
The new Papa Roach album "Broken As me"
That was the first song to become
Nailed, it was the first song we did and
Yeah it’s a
Pretty hard rocking track, I think
That Jacoby had, you know
A good lyrical idea coming in to the whole
Thing and that was important and, you know
Lyrically the song is really about how
We are all the same, were
All in the same situation, we
All have issues, we all have
Problems, but, you know
You can’t necessarily be resentful
Towards someone else for functioning at the
Limitations of themselves
You know we all have
Good things about us, we’re all
Broken in many ways, you know
Especially, I think, the longer
You live, you know, the more baggage
You have so I think that’s
The message why’s it’s good
It’s actually a positive
Message even if it’s a slightly negative
Lyric or a negative sounding lyric
It’s actually a positive message and I
Think it’s kind of probably
The middle point for the record in
The sense it’s not the heaviest
Song, not the lightest song, not
Poppiest, not the most metal
It’s just right in the middle
Of the whole thing and
That probably is a good indication
What the album is
