Daddy
Unraveling the Echoes: A Soul's Cry for Understanding
Lyrics
Seems everyone knows how
Expressing a common knowledge of handling a situation
To leave it in the corner of hurt and bad dreams
Referring to leaving emotional pain and nightmares unattended
I was never more alone now
Feeling extremely isolated and lonely
There was no one there to answer when I called Daddy
Expressing the absence of support, especially from the speaker's father
Before I put the phone down
Pausing before ending the call, possibly expecting a response
I waited for a second to see if you'd speak
Waiting briefly to hear a comforting or reassuring voice
Ain't it crazy how we break down
Reflecting on the emotional breakdown despite being confined in one's own body
When we know we're only housed in our own bodies
Acknowledging the paradox of emotional breakdown within oneself
But they don't know who you are
Others are unaware of the speaker's father's true identity
And they don't know she broke your heart, Daddy
Highlighting that others are unaware of the father's heartbreak
And if they woke you up
Imagining the consequences if the father were awakened
My whole world would fall apart, Daddy
Fearing that the speaker's world would crumble if the father were to wake up
If they woke you up
Repetition of the fear of the father waking up
You were laying on your couch
Describing the father's physical state
Spent the day out in the city to escape the sad scene
Narrating the father's attempt to escape a distressing situation
In a moment it was lights out
Indicating a sudden transition to a state of unconsciousness
There was no one there to hold you in the cold, Daddy
Highlighting the absence of someone to provide comfort to the father
Couldn't say how it started out
Unable to recall the origin of a problem
But you didn't like to do what you're told, Daddy
Revealing a resistance to following instructions
And I'm still tryna figure out
Expressing confusion about certain aspects of the father's life
Why the cobwebs are hanging in the door, Daddy
Questioning the presence of cobwebs in the door
But they don't know who you are
Reiteration that others are unaware of the true nature of the father
And they don't know she broke your heart
Emphasizing the lack of understanding about the father's heartbreak
And if they woke you up
Reiterating the potential chaos if the father were to wake up
My whole world would fall apart, Daddy
Expressing the profound impact on the speaker's world if the father were awakened
But they don't know who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are
Repetition emphasizing the lack of awareness about the father's true self
You are, who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are, Daddy
Reaffirming the lack of understanding about the father's identity
But they don't know who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are
Continued emphasis on the lack of awareness about the father's true self
You are, who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are, Daddy
Reiteration of the lack of understanding about the father's identity
But they don't know who you are
Restating that others are unaware of the true nature of the father
And they don't know she broke your heart, Daddy
Highlighting the continued lack of awareness about the father's heartbreak
And if they woke you up
Imagining the consequences if the father were awakened
My whole world would fall apart, Daddy
Reiterating the potential collapse of the speaker's world if the father were to wake up
If they woke you up
Repetition of the fear of the father waking up
