| Evanescence – Snow White Queen Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I definately see the stalker thing but I thought it was about rape. I tailor it to me by making it my good side vs. my bad side. It is an incredible song on an incredible album by an incredible band. | |
| Sick Puppies – Howards Tale Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I agree with most of you on this, that it's about sexual abuse, but I imagine him helping the boy at the end. I can relate to this song in a lot of ways (up to a point). I was never physically or sexually abused, but my dad is a paranoid narssisict, and so he was rather emotionally abusive to my mom and I. Here's how I can relate to it: "Age 5. Just a little boy shy Is he ready for the big surprise? He'll be playing lego in a dream when the shadows come to life." My dad would always surprise me with gifts and then, within the same day, rage at me and punish me, and this cycle repeated constantly. "Age 9. And he should've been fine with a secret he's sure to keep. Two times had to tell a little lie for the sake of him and me. Now it's over. I need closure." By nine, I understood that this wasn't normal, and I tried to fight against him, but my mom never let me, saying it was for the benefit of all of us if I didn't upset him. "Chorus: [Hey! Look what you did to me when you were taking me home, Getting me stoned, leave me alone. I waited for mum to comfort me but when I opened my mouth, "Don't say nothing. SHHHHHHHHH"]" Not much here, except that while my mom did comfort me sometimes, most of the time I wouldn't say anything, because she needed comfort more than I did. "Age 12 and it isn't going wll. Now 3 years to the day. Confused, but unlike you this feeling won't go away." He was always intermittently involved in my life, but I knew by this age that his behavior had and would continue to have a major impact on me. "16 and the woman down the street has invited him to come inside. It was the first time It didn't feel right. It'll be the last time he tries." I tried sex at sixteen, but it wasn't right, but that's because I'm rather emotionally affectless. Seventeen is now, so not much I can say past this. Anyway, a great song, and I love that how, although it's different, they still feel slightly tailored to me. Even though I know what the lyrics really mean. Great song, yay Sick Puppies! |
