Lyrics:
You guys ready?
Alone, listless, breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violins, center of her own attention
Mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it, tries to make her proud,
The shades go down it's in her head,
painted room, can't deny, there's something wrong
Chorus
Don't call me daughter, not fit to, the picture kept, will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to, the picture kept, will remind me
Don't call me........
Bridge
She holds the hand... that holds her down...
She will... rise above............... Ooooooooooooh Hooooooooooo.......
Chorus
Don't call me daughter, not fit to, the picture kept, will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to, the picture kept, will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to, the picture kept, will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to me, the picture kept, will remind me
Don't call me........................
Bridge
..................the shades go down...the shades go down..... the shades go....go.....go....

| first of all nasus is absolutely correct, dont tell people their interps are wrong b/c it is all perspective. i think what makes this song so great is the ending, especially live, i love when the band tags songs onto the end of this. | |

| I never knew the song was about dyslexia, when I searched up for the meaning of this song it was always answered with "it's a song about child abuse", hm...though maybe it could be about both. | |

| the meaning is that its a story of a girl who's abused by her mother, but the abuse has gotten so bad that the girl now actually beleives she is really to blame | |

| actually, both "violins" and "violence" works. In the lyrics Eddie hand wrote, he write "Violins(ce)" that was the point... that they sound the same | |
