Lyric discussion by SoChloedied 

Cover art for Oh Daughter/Disaster lyrics by Parenthetical Girls

I edited the lyrics and replaced it with those that are featured on the band official website, not sure how and if it works...

Anyway, I always kind of found a very feminist touch to that song, It could be about the parents of a transgenre woman viewed by their parent, but it could also be about the pressure applied to women in a general way...

It also seems to be about a mourning...

"your ruddy cheeks will never weather" really sounds like something I actually heard from a mother who lost her daughter...

Song Meaning

@SoChloedied Apparently I can't edit, or I didn't find out yet... I mistyped and obviously meant that it could be about a transgenre ( young) woman viewed by one of her parents...
