Broken Castle

“Broken Castle” is Button Addict’s most personal and powerful work to date, a track that dives deep into the wounds of his past with an unflinching honesty. Centred on the symbol of a castle his father built in his bedroom—a place he once believed was built out of love—the song unveils the truth: this “castle” was no gift but a monument of guilt, a dark reminder of the violence and betrayal his father inflicted on his family. Button Addict sheds light on the stark contrast between that innocent symbol and the horrific reality, showing how innocence was shattered, replaced by the realization of his father’s true character.

In “Broken Castle,” Button Addict shares not only his story but also the resilience of his sisters, who endured suffering and yet emerged strong, now with families and lives filled with love and happiness. Their lives stand as a true testament to their strength, that the trauma inflicted upon them couldn’t stop them from reclaiming their futures. Despite his father’s cruelty, the family has risen, and today, Button Addict and his sisters are proof that even the darkest pasts can be overcome.

The raw lyrics, set against a childlike yet haunting beat, expose the hollow existence of a man now living in complete isolation—a fitting, living punishment for the pain he inflicted. As Button Addict reclaims his own story, he finds solace in the reality that his father’s legacy is one of loneliness and despair, with no one left to care. “Broken Castle” isn’t just a song; it’s a release, a redemption, and a vow to never let the past define the future. Today, Button Addict and his family live in happiness, a testament that light can emerge even from the deepest shadows.
