Father Figure Lyrics

Cold is your heart When your heart has been brokenLove is what's lost When the lost lead the loathingPain's what you got When your God got goingFear is your food And your food's got you choking[Talk's a good game cause the rules are the same I can't deny I will listenNow that you kill it's a much bigger pill There's a larger world you're missingSay what you will Where's your father figure?]Now spun is your head And your head is unfoldingCrushed is your soul And your soul is unloadingTorn are your thoughts And your thoughts make life woefulBlood is the cost And the cost is unwholesome[Chorus]

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.

Don't know what it's about, but it rocks brutally. No doubt the most Filter-ish song on the album, and Richard sounds incredible on it.

It's a classic Filter style anti-religion song, like Dose, or Under, or the STP song Naked Sunday. I hope their next album has a few more dark sounding songs like this.

These song can be interpreted as two different meanings

As he says, this is a song about all the people being hypnotized by common religions, following role models and rules that only leads to a confusion noticed but ignored by everyone of them. They get "painful" "soul crushed" "mind twisted" "head spun" "heart cold" when these people recognize that their God has dissapointed them after blindly following him. The empty food of the last supper and eucharist got them choking. All the priests and religious people say what you will because there is no father figure!
This song could also be interpreted as child's abuse/domestic violence. Talks about a hopeless child or woman who is being abused or violently treated and who is supposed to follow father figure's rules "Now that you kill it's a much bigger pill, There's a larger world you're missing"-->the father figure has an unreasonable and crazy behavior who is being under drugs or medications and lives inside of a small ignorant world under these effects.

anyway, I asked myself where is my father figure..... There is none!

i forgot to say.....This is a crazy work made by Army of anyone....Im so glad Deleo's brothers found Richard Patrick to interpret their songs...My respects to Scott Weiland, as he is one of my favourite singers but I think that Richard Patrick is doing a much better work than what Scott Weiland is doing at Velver Revolver.
