Daughter Lyrics

Alone... listless... breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl... violins... center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

The shades go down, it's in her...

    Daughter is about your typical modern day kid who experiences problems in the home and possibly mild mental problems like a.d.d., and therefore has problems coping with society and others. The mother in this song is most probably a single mother.

    Sounds a lot like a girl who is abused by her mom.

    It's about a mentally disabled little girl and the disappointment surrounding her.
