Lyric discussion by Beau_Lolita 

Cover art for What If lyrics by Emilie Autumn

You know how most people try to relate songs to their own lives? Well to me i think this is about a parent who thinks their child is something perfect, just what they wanted her to be but then they realize she has a mind of her own although i think deep down they knew that all along but have chose to ignore it- "And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free And put your hands over both your ears Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not The perfect girl you thought well what have i got to lose?" So whatever this girl is deep down they don't like it and refuse to accept her for who she is. Or maybe the same scenario but with a lover rather than a parent?
