Daughter
Unveiling the Struggle: A Daughter's Plea for Acceptance
Lyrics
Mama I am the same girl I was yesterday, nothings changed
Mama, I am expressing continuity and consistency in my identity; no significant changes have occurred.
Now you know another part of me that's not going away
I've revealed another aspect of myself that is enduring and won't fade away.
Things been pretty different lately, you said you knew
Recent experiences have been notably different, and you claim to be aware of them.
Well If that's true, why do you look so damn blue
If you truly understand, why do you appear so sad or troubled?
Mama you put me through something I never thought I'd have to feel
You've subjected me to emotions I never expected to face.
Now you try your best to act impressed and I know it's just not real
You make an effort to feign approval, but I sense it's insincere.
Things were finally looking up for me, that's what you said you want
Things were improving for me as per your desires, but now you seem discontent. Why?
Now that you got it, why would you want it gone
You achieved what you wanted for me; why would you wish to reverse it now?
Oh, two girls in love why make it more than it is
Referencing a relationship between two girls; questioning the need to complicate it unnecessarily.
Oh, she was young and pure but she still is
Despite her youth, she remains pure; emphasizing that age hasn't changed her fundamental nature.
Maybe we could talk about it someday
Suggesting a potential future conversation about the matter.
Mama don't let your prejudice get in the way
Advising the mother to overcome prejudiced views that might obstruct understanding.
Maybe it just takes time, I don't know I've never done this before
Expressing uncertainty and the need for time in dealing with new experiences.
All I wanted was an "ok" and a smile and nothing more
Desiring a simple acknowledgment and a genuine smile without further complications.
You pretend to be okay with it but when it comes down to your kin
Despite pretending to accept the situation, there's a struggle when it involves family.
I can't win, suddenly it's sin
Conveying the difficulty of winning in a situation where suddenly it's seen as sinful.
Maybe I'll take the high road and leave I know it's what you'd prefer
Contemplating taking a morally superior path, possibly leaving to align with the mother's preference.
They say home is where the heart is and I've found it in her
Highlighting the belief that true happiness is found in the connection with the mentioned person.
We're gonna celebrate all the happiness we finally feel
Anticipating celebration of the newfound joy and questioning the reality of the situation.
Is this even real? What a damn good deal
Expressing disbelief in the positive turn of events and questioning its authenticity.
Oh, two girls in love why make it more than it is?
Reiteration of questioning the need to complicate a relationship between two girls.
Oh, she was young and pure but she still is
Reaffirming the enduring purity of the mentioned person despite the passage of time.
Maybe we could talk about it someday
Reiterating the possibility of discussing the matter in the future.
Mama don't let your prejudice get in the way
Repeating the plea for the mother to overcome prejudiced views that hinder understanding.
Everybody's daughter's here to stay
Asserting the permanence of individuals like the mentioned daughter, challenging any attempt to dismiss or reject them.
