Annotations and Meaning

The song I Got Cracked by Vundabar speaks to personal breakdown and resilience. It says, "In the meantime, in the in-between time, do you think of me?" Now, that kind of sets this reflective tone off. It insinuates a period of looking back and indecision. The image of a "cloud passing in your sky at night" gives one the idea of impermanence. In the pre-chorus, we see various forms of breaking—either physical or if not, emotional — for instance, "And I broke my heart, and I broke my arm." So "spreading ashes" here either might just mean experiencing a loss or some sort of post-traumatic event. And yet: "Can't stop laughing, got fifty lashes"; the attitude toward suffering is resilient, even defiant. The chorus repeatedly affirms, "I got cracked, so I can't get broke no more," as if there was some strength in being broken. It suggests that after somebody has been through and withstood lots of suffering, they can handle anything. The second verse is meant to double this idea of duality, speaking of the "spaces in between the laces" and fraying edges of life. The dialogue in the verse "I know how it ends, so why do I worry?" voices a resigned acceptance of life's inevitable struggles and the futility of worrying about them.

Personal Reflection

The song I Got Cracked is really a pretty straightforward and candid song speaking about the experience of being cracked and where strength emanated from in that broken state. Vivid imagery and an honest delivery find a place with many listeners who've faced their struggles head-on and come out more challenging on the other end.

I Got Cracked Song Lyrics

I Got Cracked by Vundabar

In the mean time
In the in-between time
Do you think of me?
A cloud passing in your sky at night, yeah
To the [?] soften light
I can be mean, I can be nice
In the breaking process
The cracks form into lies
Letting the lightness, yeah
The clearing brightness

[Pre-Chorus]
And I broke my heart
And I broke my arm
And I spread some ashes
Can't stop laughing, got fifty lashes
And I broke my jaw
And I broke the law
And I spread some ashes
Better not fall thesе fake eyelashеs, yeah

[Chorus]
I got cracked
I got cracked
I got cracked
So I can't get broke no more
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oo-oo-oo
Yeah yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
In the spaces
In-between the laces
They tie up a lot
Fraying on every single side, yeah
We say into each other's eyes:
"I know how it ends, so why do I worry?"
"I know how it ends, so why do I hurry?"
I know how it ends
It ends, it ends, it ends
It ends, it ends, it ends, it ends
It ends
So good god, come here (Gimmie a kiss)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I broke my heart
And I broke my arm
And I spread some ashes
Can't stop laughing, got fifty lashes (Kiss)
And I broke my jaw
And I broke the law
And I spread some ashes
Better not fall these fake eyelashes, yeah
[Chorus]
I got cracked
I got cracked
I got cracked
So I can't get broke no more
