One Father, Another Lyrics

tend your figure religiously
stillborn sisters- you buried three
survived by stumbling divinity
it came to you both accidentally

haunted wombs and barren seeds
yet through the term you carried me
conjugally conceived he had prayed you'd bleed
and your second child came with a pair of teeth

and round his ankles you were tethered me
you must have known hed leave eventually
because everything you love leaves
(everything you love leaves)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song's lyrics are so devastating when placed before The Weight She Fell Under. I'm pretty positive this is a concept album about a family, based on the roles of the mother and the daughter. At this point the father leaves the mother (the two characters in Love Connection pt. II). After all the miscarriages and hardships of bearing a child with this man he leaves her. And then the daughter falls under a train (accident??).

But there are some details that may not hold true to the story as the album as a whole goes, that is, I'm not sure.
