| Not necessarily child abuse, any kind. It's mostly about someone finished with being victimised. And the song also just describes social/narcissists. | |

This song is about a typical victim of someone with antisocial personality disorder. Generally when dealing with these types of people for a long time, a victim (usually a spouse or child) has been brainwashed by the abuser. At this point (referring to this song)the victim realizes that he/she has known all along that everything that their victimizer says is only well placed. Which means they lie about their abusive behavior to the victim to cover their ass, but there are so many inconsistencies with their abusers web of lies that they have finally chosen to extricate themselves from this abusive relationship and are waiting for them to self-destruct. This quote in particular is standard for a person who has been a victim of mental abuse (mental abuse goes along with all other forms of abuse...that's how a molester is able to commit repeated acts....or why a woman comes back for another beating. If someone just beat you, you would leave and never come back. Please remember that sociopaths are very subtle, and very good at manipulation.) Lyric: And I protect you out of courtesy Too many times that I've Held on when I needed to push away Afraid to say what was on my mind Afraid to say what I need to say Mental abusers convince the victim to cover for them through manipulation, but if that child would just "say what was on his mind/what he needed to" the abuser would have been found out, but the child fears this or is brainwashed into thinking his abuse is normal behavior and no one would help anyway. Also this next lyric is classic also: Things that you said about me When I'm not around You think havin the upper hand Means you got to keep puttin me down Generally people who are abusing a person has their victim in a position of dependency. They hold things like money, sex, security over their victims so that they fear loosing this abuser because they 'need' them. They also say bad things about you like "she's such a needy bitch" or "he's such a unruly child." (this makes them look like the victim) Hmm I wonder why he's unruly...it could be that you molest him 3 days a week and convince him it's normal and even if it wasn't no one really cares... Again, victim's believe their abuser's lies: So many people like me Put so much trust in all your lies And this song is about the victim's breaking point. They can not make sense of the lies and abuse anymore so they want out: I know I'll never trust a single thing you say You knew your lies would divide us But you lied anyway And all the lies have Got you floating up above us all (most sociopaths have people convinced they are good by using a front of lies) But what goes up has got to fall (a very nice double entendre if I may say so myself) This song is more complex than just a bad person getting what they should in the end. I have to just asume Chester being abused as a child and then making it out of the shit effects this song heavily. Actually many of LP's lyrics refer to sociopaths and the damage they cause. Even the songs where it's about him becoming them. All a victim knows is lies and so they start to mimic their abusers thought pattern because they think this is the only way the world works. Molested people become molesters...not Chester though! He left his abuser in the freaking dust! |
