Pale Green Stars

Yeah whoever thinks the dads died they're foolish. It's a girl coping with the animosity between her mother and father. Blood won't come means because of the constant fighting -(amanda always cries when you yell at me)- shes feels its her fault -(she thinks it's all her fault when it all goes wrong)- and she feels depressed so shes trying to cut herself or along those lines. Definitly about a divorce or feud between parents which results in the father just walking out and the effect on the daughter.

i interpretted the part about "the blood wont come when it ought to come" as a girl getting pregnant since she isnt getting her period anymore

you people are so dumb! ok as a little girl that went through the same thing..well almost exactly the same thing. the song is about a girl barley entering her teens dealing with puberty as well as he dad leaving. SHe cries when her mom yells at him and she crys for him when he leaves and it hurt him to see his daughter be in pain. Jeez no one died and no one is pregnut

This song didn't really apply to me until a few days ago. I mean, it did in a way because my dad disowned me when I was fourteen and right around that time my mom split with the boyfriend she'd had since I was seven. Neither of them have talked to me since except for a two-minute conversation with my dad during which I hung up on him. But now my mom and stepdad are getting a divorce and this explains exactly how I feel. I'm seventeen, almost eighteen now, and been fatherless basically my whole life. Now that I've got a stepdad who I love, I don't want to lose that family thing I've always wanted. My stepdad's been more of a father than I've ever had and I don't want him to go away now. But for now, all I can do is turn up Everclear so that I can't hear them fighting and they can't hear me crying. Scared little girl Watching Aladdin on TV Amanda always cries When you yell at me

Yeah- please don't yell at me

Climb up all those stairs Close the door Doesn't want to Hear us fighting anymore And I think the "The blood won't come when it oughta come" is a cutting reference. I remember when I used to cut myself, I couldn't make myself bleed sometimes and I can't quite tell you why but it hurt. It was almost like something was wrong--a normal response wasn't occuring. It's like blood won't drip when it should and love doesn't work when it ought to work. It could also be a metaphor of some sort. Like you're too numb to bleed, cry or feel. I really don't know for sure, but those are some of my favorite lines in the song. Also, I really love Art's voice. I mean, it's always wonderful, but it's very emotional in this song. Especially on "Please don't yell at me". That line always gets me.

What does he mean when he says "When the blood won't come"? I have an idea, but I'm curious what others are thinking.

i think its like shes tryin to kill herself bc her parents are getting divorced and they fight all the time and she thinks its all her fault that her dad's leaving but um ya i dont know if thats right or anything but oh well its all good....

That's what I had thought too, although I had not looked deep enough to notice that th girl's dad is dead. It makes sense now, though, thanks!

Do you suppose that Amanda is an alias for Anabella? And that maybe he was thinking about killing himself and the consequences it might have on Ana?

This is about his wife and daughter, yes - when the blood won't come when it's supposed to means about her finding out she was pregnant.

ohhhh... silly me, heh!

The dad is dead? I always saw it as the father was leaving because the parents got a divorce, hence "Doesn't want to Hear us fighting anymore" and "It's hard on a grown man too See my baby crying at the window Calling out my name " Is him leaving because his wife divorced him.
