Stepson Lyrics

I'm free
He can't touch me
Six feet down
And there's no sadness

Hands and heads full
Old and hostile
Fists are pounding
Nothing's simple
No respect or meaning
Why the screaming
When he's gone
Burn the house down
Too proud to come to me
When you are dying
Well look at the dash
Now you're frying

Hands and heads full
Old and hostile
Fists are pounding
Nothing's simple
No respect or meaning
Why the screaming
When he's gone
Burn the house down (x3)

When he's gone
Burn the house down
When he's gone

Hands and heads full
Old and hostile
Fists are pounding
Nothing's simple
No respect or meaning
Oh Why the screaming
Never whimper
Hide your feelings
And when he's gone
Burn the house down (repeated til end)

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 think the abusive step father has died "I'm free, He can't touch me, Six feet down, And there's no sadness" and the stepsons burning the house down to destroy the bad memories that exist in the house.

This song is definately one of the most powerfull songs ive ever heard. after listening to this song about a million times i think what its all about is, a boy and his family. His stepdad beats them and abuses them. So oneday when the stepdad leaves the house, he burns it down, killing his family and setting them free of the burdens left by the stepfather. unless it ia all metaphors i think that is what this song is about.

I think this song is about feeling helpless...and how you deal with it.
