This song delves into the painful and traumatic experiences of a child growing up in an abusive and neglectful environment; Where they are left with scars of physical and emotional abuse, as well as living desperately struggling for survival in a life of constant harm. They give an example in the song by detailing a child whose mother takes out her frustrations and anger on them. Despite the physical pain, and emotional torment they get, they also highlight that the child is forced to lie their way through life in order to survive and mask their suffering; Children who try to speak out when suffering fear they may end up making things worse as talking about their abuse will cause their abuser to be more harsh and violent on them.
The song also calls the abuser a demon with the goal of destroying the child's life, and exposes the various lies and manipulation tactics used by the abuser. It serves as a call for awareness, empathy, and intervention to protect children from experiencing such harm, as well as highlighting the long-lasting effects it has on those whom we turn a blind eye to or simply just can't see.
