Adam Lambert explains the meaning of "Soaked' and "Broken Open"

"I want to put it out there that I don't take myself all that seriously," he said. That's one of his mantras. "The dress-up supports that; the fantasy element supports it. People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff. . . . Chill out! And just enjoy yourself. It's not that deep."
Then he corrected himself, slightly. "Sometimes it is deep. Some of the songs on the album are," he admitted, pointing to the song "Soaked," a sweeping epic about the loneliness of one-night stands that's actually a cover of an unreleased track from Muse, and a very serious one at that. He also singled out "Broken Open," a ballad he co-wrote, which he said is about encouraging a lover to become vulnerable enough to cry.
"But sometimes it's just, 'This is hot, I feel good, this song makes me want to go get a drink and flirt with somebody and have a good time.' Good energy is just as credible as the cathartic, dark, heavy" stuff, he said. "It's just as important!"
This might be the most exciting message Lambert carries forward into one of the most intensely observed major label debuts in recent pop history. He's reminding America that rock music can be joyful, light-spirited and sublimely silly, just as pop can explore serious subjects beyond the call to hit the dance floor. And that a rock star might also like to dance.

Articulate, what a pleasure to hear and read what he thinks. Doriangrey
Sometimes when a "song" is so beautiful, it deserves to have deeper meaning. I like that we are getting some of everything here.
So meaningful! I can't wait to hear the complete versions.
Adam shows he is not only articulate, facile with the language; but the reason we relate to him so much is that he has the intelligence and wit behind the language. You feel that as confident and self-assured as he is about himself, it carries no streak of arrogance. Just the opposite, you get the feeling that he could have compassion for others and their points of view, even if he didn't agree.
He touches us because we know he can and has hurt, but he is such an actor that he can project strength in the face of vulnerability. Because I'm a mother with maternal instinct in overdrive, I am attracted to him because I can see him as a son who's earning his just rewards, and am happy for him because he has such a kind, compassionate soul.
We are attracted to Adam because he's so out there, so exposed, and yet we feel he lets the barbs thrown at him slide because he's focused on fullness of his glass. His confidence has a calming effect to our souls, and reminds us we too are loved, even though our glasses are near empty.
