Cover art for Daughter lyrics by Pearl Jam

It is a song about child abuse and the different ways people hide from it. The mother denying that her child is being abused, the girl so messed up she cant think straight or learn, or fit in. But it is also about triumph. A similar sentiment as that in "Given to Fly". The daughter will rise above the horror being perperated on her by her father (abuser) and mother (pretending it isnt happening).

Just because a man and woman are fertile and fuck, doesnt make them parents.

I agree.... think your interpretation is correct.
