Sleeping with Sirens: A Trophy Father's Trophy Son Meaning

Song Released: 2011

A Trophy Father's Trophy Son Lyrics

Father, father, tell me where have you been?
Its been hell not having you here
I've been missing you so bad
And you don't seem to care
When I go to sleep at night, you're not there
When I go to sleep at night, do you care?

Do you even...

   It’s about his dad leaving him when he was a child, and him blaming himself. Which my oldest sister did when our dad left, my middle sister got mad at him, and I didn’t think anything of it not realizing what was happening. But all of us did blame ourselves a little in the end, expetually when we got a step-dad a few years later and he left. It truly hurts a child to go through this, which is why I relate to this song so much.

   I feel like this song is about kellin and his father not being there for him when he was younger. I also feel like its his way saying that he blames himself. Like when he says "why are you walking away? was it something I did? did I make a mistake cause...", he is blaming himself by asking if he did something wrong even though he probably didn't.

   This song is about not havng your father there for you, and you just want to figure out what his purpose for leaving you was. I understood what this song meant as soon as I heard the first verse and chorus.

   I believe that this song is about Kellin's father not being there for him when he was young, since his dad left them. I'm so sorry, Kellin.

   The song is about Kellin's two step sons, Rowan and Liam. They grew up without a father, and the song is supposed to be about what it felt like from their perspective.
