"Vanishing Point" as written by and Peter/gilbert Hook....
Grow up children, don't you suffer
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
And they gave him away
Like in 'Whistle Down The Wind'
By the look on his face
He never gave in
At the hands of one another
If you like a sleeping demon
Listen can you hear him weeping
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
He buys love to sell tomorrow
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
Feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm
He can't touch the world we live in
Life is short but love is strong
There lies a hope that I have found
And if you try you'll find it too
Remember why I'm telling you
My life ain't no holiday
I've been through the point of no return
I've seen what a man can do
I've seen all the hate of a woman too
And they gave him away
Like in 'Whistle Down The Wind'
By the look on his face
He never gave in

This one who talks at 1st person seems to have suffered a similar experience when he was a kid too, probably in the hands of his father, who treated badly his mother too. And this terrible situation just came to an end whe he grew up and found real love to his life. Then, in the second part of the lyrics, he presents love as the solution to heal the emotional hurts caused by any bad man when you were a kid.
In the last lines, the kids accidentaly release themselves from the cruel man just like in the mentioned movie, despite he has never got tired of being cruel.
