Daughters of Sorrow Lyrics

You are the daughters of sorrow
And somehow I just know
I'm going to have to hang around you

We walk through the world
As if by starlight
We've been all right
We'll kick them

You are the daughters of sorrow
And somehow I just know
And somehow I just knew
Somehow I just knew (x3)

Bum bum bum bah bah (x4)

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 means something different to me every time I hear it. At first I thought he felt burdened by being stuck with the daughters of sorrow. Then I felt more like he was drawn, or attracted to them. This song makes me think of The Virgin Suicicdes
