Cradle Lyrics

Breathe...
Push...
...I lost you, you were my god thought what do I do now
you were never there for me never there to carry me,
26 years looking back that time is gone it was you I believed in look what you've done to me realize what you've done to

Me

I can't see going on in this darkness I'm blind beneath my cradle the bough has broke, I exorcise my loss your lie the punishment

It takes time to try to mend the wounds of all the suffering,
What do I do now all I'm asking from you please send me a sign to guide me through the times that lie in front of me I'll get by myself

Look at me now, a piece of shit like you.
Look at me now, you left me so fuck you.

Everybody leaves me, everybody's gone.
Watch my father leave me, there's nobody left.
Feels like I've never been loved.
Everybody leaves me, never gave a shit about me.
Everybody's gone, I'll rot in my head alone.
I don't give a fuck about you, go the fuck away .

Fake being, inside of my heart you are the liar.
Innocence displaced.
Been left.

Here I stand now and I'm alone,
With no one to comfort me.
One set of footprints in the sand.
No one to take my hand, I'll .
I'll walk through as long as I need.
I'll drift through my life though I'm alone.
Outgrown the cradle that once housed me
And I've found that all I need is
Me.

Found I've never needed you to push through
All the shit that stacks up inside of my life.
Endless plight that circulates through my body.
I'll keep stumbling, beating, pummeling
Teething on the rind and renounce my being.

I can't see going on.

I can't see
I'm so tired, of trying to mend the wounds of all my suffering.
What do I do now?
All I'm asking from you please,
Send me a sign
To guide me through the times that lie in front of me.
I'll get by myself

I can't see going on fuck it.

To the artist, It is about a bad childhood. He has often started the song by saying its a song about Child Abuse and Child Neglect.

Of course the fun part of music is you can relate it to yourself so it being about faith in a deity and not simply a man.

Either way, we have all felt like this in some way or another. Maybe you had good parents or anything like that - but we all feel we've been left alone in life to push through ourselves.

Yeah and lossing his belief in God in the process.

Cover art for Cradle lyrics by Mudvayne

i agree with all you guys. i knew from the start that it was about a traumatic childhood that lead to his lack in belief of a higher power. i dont blame him, i know how it feels. certain experiences cause dramatic changes in ones perception of life and the afterlife...

this song is about how kud's father left him and hes lost belief in everything, hes full of hate toward his dad and he dosent know what to do. hes looking for guidance in the last couple of lines, no one offers him the guidance he needs so he jus fucks it.

I can definitely agree that he had a bad child; it's evident in a lot of his songs, namely this one. However, I really feel a strong notion that this song is geared more towards God than his father, almost like he were pissed at God for not helping him through. It's a shame that people have to go through shit like that.

As A child, he obviously did not have a good childhood. It looks as if his parents were abusive andor not carring towards him. He wrote this song to show his parents how he felt that he has pushed them out of his life.
