a song about childhood suffering, from abuse by another child
Based on a True Story (tm).
Suffering and being a victim of bullying, or any other type of abuse, is a very common and misunderstood condition. It happens to most of us at some point in our life to be victim to somebody else's malicious intent or desires. The other person almost always has a back-story but this cannot and should never serve as justification to dish out abuse onto others in any way or form.
It’s very strange how this song came about.
A memory came to the forefront from an idea and a moment of my life, and the lyrics wrote themselves literally in a matter of hours.
I feel proud of this song: the actual words, chosen in order to keep and stay in rhythm, are also precise in their relevance of the overall experience.
