Emtee Lyrics

I remember suffering
I remember feeling the sting of childhood
Injections, holy bruises, sweet infections
Soaked in a stew like drowning cockroaches
Whose only crime was the greed of inherent hunger
You know where I'm fragile, you know how to kill
You know where I'm fragile, you know how to kill...how to kill
all fall away...all fall...all fall today...all fall today..all fall...

PAIN!! pain.....
I can't keep this rage in me
I can't keep pretending
I can't keep pretending anymore
I can't keep this rage in me
I can't keep pretending
Can't be this emtee! Anymore! Anymore!
I can make it go away
make it go away.....

Well, I can't believe that no one has posted about this song yet. It's definatly my favorite on Sevas Tra. I think it's about a person's past...and how they felt "emtee" inside, always pretended everything was fine ( I can't keep pretending), etc etc.

its about abortions. shes speeking through an infant who was aborted, "i remember the sting of child birth... injections...only crime was hunger" and the second heavier part is her thoughts on abortion "i can't keep this rage in me, i cant keep pretending... i can make it go away"

I'm sorry but, I'll have to disagree.I don't think that song is about abortion... It's about her memories where she remembers the abuse (you know where I'm fragile, you know how to kill) and injecting herself drugs to make her forget the pain. In all cases the victim/survivor of abuse think they will to be blamed (which is implanted by their abusers) so they keep their suffering bottled up, not telling anyone in fear that anyone wouldn't believe them. So surrounding isn't much of a help too. And the abuse makes you numb,all mixed with shame living in guilt and going...

its about the childhood abuse through the hands of a family member,spoken from the point of the young child thats had her innocence ripped away
