Bruised is a breakup song set to the backdrop of a vacation gone awry. This, this couple has, has ended up going away For, uh, for a weekend or so In the middle of a time Where they probably would be better served Going away from each other for a while And, uh, it sort of follows that experience of getting on an airplane When you know you're almost, When you're coming home to really separate, in a sense. And for me, lyrically, It is one of the more heartbreaking songs I've written and it-it... What I love, I think, The most about this song is that it takes that heartbreak in there But it sets into this, this really up-tempo sort of rhythm, um That I think carries it through and almost anchors the song And still makes it visceral and and Balances out, I think, the heaviness of the lyric.
