Children Of The Broken Hearted Lyrics

Your cries are searching for
The lock and key to your mother's door.
She'll ignore our every sound
And leave you to drown.
There's no escaping you'll see
There's no escaping from me.
I'll take off your clothes as you beg me no more
I'll share your moans and you know that you are done for.
I will sing you to sleep from every thrust
You will quietly weep and never trust your father again.
There's no escaping you'll see
There's no escaping from me.
I'll take off your clothes as you beg me no more
I'll share your moans and you know that you are done for.

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.

I am very surprised that nobody has commented on this song. On listening I find it disturbing that the lyrics are sung in first person as if the singer himself is the abusive father portrayed in the song. chilling.

I agree with Surfnut. It's about Rape and abuse.

I agree with Surfnut, what the hell people?!!? if any song needs more comments its this one!!

This song is a little creepy, well a lot creepy if u listen to it because as Surfnut said its from the abusive fathers point of view

"She'll ignore our every sound" -"I will sing you to sleep from every thrust" But the story behind this is quite sad, i recall watching the speical dvd of these guys and the lead singer talking about how this song came to be and the words about how his girlfriends friend (i think) was raped and abused as a child from her father and that her mother didnt believe her. I think it also said he was just so discusted by it that he ending up writing this song as a form of release type thing.
